Minnesota has been building up to this game, blowing out three inferior opponents at home. The Golden Gophers are rested heading into Saturday's contest, as their starters have been sitting out near the end of games so far this season. Senior running back Mohamed Ibrahim is one of the best running backs in college football, averaging 6.9 yards per carry on 67 attempts.'
Senior quarterback Tanner Morgan has been efficient, completing 71.7% of his passes for 618 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. Michigan State is coming off a tough road loss, making this a difficult spot to bounce back against a motivated opponent. Minnesota, which has covered the spread in seven of its last eight road games, has a senior-laden roster that is not going to be intimidated by the atmosphere on Saturday.
Michigan State opened the season with a pair of blowout wins at home, so it will be happy to return home following its loss at Washington last week. The Spartans went from No. 11 to unranked after losing to Washington, but they went 11-2 last season and should not be discounted after that one loss. Junior quarterback Payton Thorne has completed 63.8% of his passes for 768 yards and seven touchdowns through three games.'
Minnesota is going on the road for the first time after facing three inferior opponents, so the Golden Gophers are not adequately prepared for this matchup. Michigan State has won five consecutive games in this head-to-head series, including a 30-27 road win last season. The Spartans have also covered the spread in six consecutive home games, so they are comfortable playing at Spartan Stadium.'
