Well, Penn State laid a giant egg a week ago. But it wasn’t just Penn State seeing its hopes and dreams run away from them last week. Minnesota, once viewed as the clear cut favorite to win the West, is now two games behind Illinois and Purdue, who sit atop the division at 3-1. Having already lost to both of those teams, the Gophers would need pandemonium at levels not even seen in the ACC coastal to have any hope at a division crown this year.
