It is GAME DAY!! The 2018 season is finally upon us and the Gophers kick things off against the independent New Mexico State Aggies. Minnesota are 21 point favorites after NMSU played last week and really struggled to do much of anything against Wyoming. Here are a few keys to tonight’s season opener for your Golden Gophers.
Looking at the numbers from the Aggies’ loss, it is really ugly. As a team they had -9 yards rushing, 7 total first downs and 12 penalties. They do have the advantage of having a game under their belts and a short week to clean things up.
