He then followed that up with over 400 yards against Duke in an eight-point loss. However, Northwestern did beat Nebraska in Week 1, when Hilinski had his second-best passing day of the season with over 300 yards. Wildcats QB Ryan Hilinski on paper doesn’t look stellar with only six passing touchdowns and six interceptions. Northwestern has a one-dimensional offense that depends on the passing game. Terrapins QB Taulia Tagovailoa is questionable, but this is a fade on Maryland’s defense, which is ranked bottom 20 against the pass. Both teams are top 15 in fewest touchdowns allowed. It's Minnesota running backs Mohamed Ibrahim and Trey Potts (expected to play) against Penn State backs Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen, who are both coming off disappointing performances against Michigan. This could be your typical ground-and-pound Big Ten matchup.

This season, Nittany Lions QB Sean Clifford is completing just 59% of his passes and has thrown for over 250 yards just once. You have two run-heavy offenses with one quarterback banged up and another that is less than productive. Before that, Minnesota hadn’t allowed more than 20 this season. The Golden Gophers haven’t allowed more than 26 points and that just came last week against Illinois. Aside from the possible injury, this game is about both rushing offenses and defenses. Morgan has started every game since he took over midseason in 2018. There’s a solid chance that Minnesota QB Tanner Morgan may sit after sustaining an injury in last week’s matchup that forced him to leave the game late in the fourth quarter. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have a sneaky good defense. Hoosiers QB Connor Bazelak looked solid last week completing 69% of his passes and throwing three scores, but that was against a Maryland secondary ranked bottom 30 in the FBS.
