Rutgers at Minnesota

Rutgers had a winning record last season and is off to a 3-1 start. The offense is very good (35.7 points per game) and balanced behind senior QB Athan Kaliakmanis (7 TDs, one INT) and RB Antwan Raymond (310 yards, 5.1 ypc). The Scarlet Knights have won three of their last five as an underdog, beating Maryland (31-17), Michigan State (41-14), and this Minnesota squad (26-19). Minnesota has used three quarterbacks who have combined for five TDs and three picks, with freshman Drake Lindsey (4 TDs, 2 INTs) carrying most of the load. They come off a loss to California, 27-14, as a favorite, missing top running back Darius Taylor with a leg injury. Rutgers won last year's meeting, holding the Gophers to 35 rushing yards on 19 attempts (1.9 ypc), while Kaliakmanis threw for 240 yards. Play Rutgers on the moneyline.
