Minnesota Gopher Football 3 keys to beating UCLA and how to watch

A week after upsetting USC, the Gophers face another long-standing Big Ten rival in UCLA.

How to watch

TV: BTN
Time: 8:00 PM
Current: FoxSports.com

The Bruins are down this year, can the Gophers pull off back-to-back wins?

3 KEYS

  • Stop this violation -UCLA has the worst offense in the Big Ten and the Gopher defense needs to ensure that trend continues.
  • Release Brosmer -UCLA’s passing defense is really bad, giving up 280 yards per game through the air. There should be open receivers, Brosmer should hit them.
  • It’s the world of Koi Perich – The door has been opened, watch Koi Perich step through and prove he is one of the best freshman defensive backs in the country.

OPPOSING PLAYERS TO WATCH

  • #25RB – TJ Harden – Leads the team in rushing and receptions. He will have plenty of control over the ball.
  • #49LB – Carson Schwesinger – he leads his team in tackles, leading with 21 tackles. But he also has a sweet last name.

PREDICTION

Beating USC at home was nice, but you have to back that up with a win over UCLA. The Bruins are in year zero of a coaching change and may be the worst team in the Big Ten this year.

I hope we see a physical team ready to dominate the line of scrimmage and get over the Bruins from the opening kickoff.

Minnesota-31
UCLA-17
