Date & Time: Saturday, October 29, 02:30 p.m EDT

Venue: TCF Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minnesota

A close one-point victory saw the Scarlett Knights grabbing their first win in the opening game of the season against the Boston College Eagles (22-21). They completely destroyed the Wagner Seahawks in the second game to win it 66-7. The Temple Owls gave them a tough time, but the team survived.

Rutgers faced their first defeat in the fourth game, losing to the Iowa Hawkeyes (27-10). This paved the way for two more losses, the first was against the #2 Ohio State, and the second was against the Nebraska Cornhuskers (14-13). However, the Knights bounced back in their last outing to win against the Indiana Hoosiers (24-17).

The Minnesota Golden Gophers have a similar story. They are also 4-3 this season but their start was totally different. Minnesota started the new campaign with four straight wins. The victories were against teams like NM State (38-0), Western IL (62-10), the Colorado Buffaloes (49-7), and MI State (34-7).

The tables turned and the Gophers lost three games in a row. The Purdue Boilermakers defeated them (20-10), followed by #17 Illinois Fightning Illini (26-14, and finally the #13 Penn State (45-17).

Rutgers Scarlett Knights vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers: Prediction

The Golden Gophers cannot afford a fourth consecutive loss. They have the advantage as the home team and would like to pounce on that opportunity. For the Knights, it is going to be a tough outing.

It is anybody's game even though the Gophers are favorites to seal the deal. Minnesota has been the winners in previous contests between the two teams.
