The Sunday game between Purdue and Minnesota was cancelled due to rain. In hindsight, that might have been a good thing. That is the only way Purdue could stop the Golden Gophers from scoring runs at Alexander Field. Bad weather in the Twin Cities last weekend forced the Penn State-Minnesota series to West Lafayette since Purdue was on the road at Indiana. The Gophers earned a sweep by outscoring the Nittany Lions 32-8.
Coming back this weekend to face Purdue the bats were even hotter. Over two games Minnesota outscored Purdue 40-15 to earn two more wins before Sunday’s rainout.
