Happy though I am for the Gophers, I feel they're gonna lose two of their last three games. 

I feel more confident in Tom Allen's, Indiana Hoosiers - even without Michael Penix, Jr. Peyton Ramsey has been a de facto co-starting QB for the Hoosiers. Tom Allen's got his team stoked:

Franklin's Nitts are vulnerable. They are coming off a heartbreaking loss and will be looking ahead to their match with the Bucks, when the Hoosiers come to Happy Valley, this Saturday.

2017 and 2018 (including two consecutive losses, with a bye between them, in Beaver Stadium!) show State Pen's riding a trend of seasons with consecutive losses.

As for scum, they'll face the Hoosiers in Bloomington, a week before hosting Ohio State, in The Game. 

So, rather than a 12-0 or 11-1 Minnesota, I feel a 10-2 Indiana Hoosiers is more likely.
