It's time to take Minnesota seriously. The Gophers entered Saturday's game ranked No. 17 in the College Football Playoff Rankings despite being off to their first 8-0 start since 1941. Minnesota's start was written off as the Gophers had yet to beat a ranked team this season and had faced a string of Big Ten teams forced to use backup quarterbacks. A date with No. 4 Penn State would set the record straight, and Minnesota straightened it out quite well in a 31-26 defeat at home in Minneapolis. Let the record show that these Gophers are now 9-0 after upsetting the Nittany Lions to pick up their first win over a top-five opponent since 1999 (also Penn State). Minnesota took control early and never let go, racking up 461 yards of offense against a defense that was allowing only 280 yards per game on the season.
