Overly Optimistic Prediction of the Week: Indiana State

The Gophers face Indiana State in their last-ever FCS tussle

The Gophers slipped by the Oregon State Beavers last week in a thrilling season opener, which was actually a lot less close, if you really think about it (and consider all 12 of the targeting penalties).

Standing in the way of 2-0 is the dangerous, deciduous Indiana State Sycamores out of the hated Missouri Valley. Unfortunately, it appears that the rivalry ends here, or at least until the Trees rise into the FBS ranks, since Big Ten teams are no longer allowed to schedule FCS opponents.
