Ohio State opens its Big Ten slate against Minnesota in the 48th meeting between the two teams. Minnesota was shut out 44-0 in 2006 by Ohio State, and lost again 30-7 last season to the Buckyes, who lead the series 40-7. The last time the Gophers won was in 2000 when they upset the No.6 Buckeyes that year.
I didn't pay much attention to college football that year, but if I did, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed the 2000 version of this series.
Anyhow, this should be another mettle tester for Ohio State as Minnesota comes in undefeated. As much as Minnesota has improved this year, I look for them to be tougher than last season. When it comes to football, what happened last season happened last season.
Should be a good contest, and a necessary win for Ohio State if it is to be taken seriously in the Big Ten race this year. Otherwise, there's a team in Happy Valley that looks mighty sporty.
