The Minnesota Gophers used a big home sweep of Notre Dame last weekend to jump back into the #1 spot in the nation once again, but will be tested right away by one of the hottest teams in the nation. Penn State comes into 3M Arena at Mariucci having not lost a game in regulation yet this season and are their usual high powered offensive juggernaut. Minnesota will need to slow them down and take control of the game to stay at #1 a second week in a row.
As Minnesota was sweeping Notre Dame at home, Penn State was at home taking on the previous #1 team in the nation in Michigan.
