The Indiana Hoosiers and the Minnesota Golden Gophers are set to square off in a Big Ten matchup at 3:30 p.m. ET Nov. 20 at Memorial Stadium. The Hoosiers will be seeking to avenge the 38-31 loss they suffered the last time these two teams played Oct. 26 of 2018.
It's hard to picture a worse loss than the 38-3 bruising that IU suffered against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights last week. IU was down 31-3 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
Meanwhile, Minnesota didn't finish too far behind, but the team still lost 27-22 to the Iowa Hawkeyes last week. A silver lining for Minnesota was the play of WR Chris Autman-Bell, who caught five passes for one TD and 109 yards. One of the most thrilling moments was Autman-Bell's 68-yard TD reception down the right side of the field in the fourth quarter.
Special teams collected ten points for Minnesota. K Matthew Trickett delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.
The Hoosiers are expected to lose this next one by 7.5. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 1-6 ATS when expected to lose.
Both teams will surely be fighting tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses last week. Giving up seven turnovers, IU had had trouble holding onto the ball. We'll see if the Golden Gophers can exploit that vulnerability.
