Minn nearly lost to North Dakota State at HOME on a missed FG at the end of the game. I didn't think the Gophers were this impressive... They're definitely not, but they did play Penn State tough. I think that loss really affected them because they didn't show up against Wisconsin and Ohio State, and as you mentioned, barely beat North Dakota St. They did get things straightened out at the end of the year with wins over Indiana, Moo and Iowa, and they needed all those wins to make a bowl. So, they're not bad - just inconsistent. And, Cupito is a pretty good senior QB, so I'm not surprised to see him playing well, especially against this lousy TT defense. Also, kudos to Purdont for giving up 250 yards and three touchdowns to the crappy Maryland offense in the first half. Nice D fellas. Minny is weird. Some games they look real good and then the next week they play like crap. I planned on the bad minny showing up and got the yang not the ying tonight. Yeah Cupito is a good QB, this is why ive been surprised they've been so inconsitant. Im freaking shocked that Tech couldnt muster any points against the Gophers D. Purdue...what the hell. The turtles offense is horrible.
