The Minnesota Golden Gophers will play against The Penn State Nittany Lions this Saturday October 17th. The venue will be the Beaver Stadium at the University Park at Pennsylvania. The game is scheduled to start at 3:30 PM ET and is going to be televised at NBC.We can see that this game might be interesting in terms of being witness of the progress of each team. Both teams are not the best ones all over the nation but its interesting to comment a little bit of what could happen and see some numbers for them.

To add a little fuel to the campfire we can see that Penn State’s defense has never been a question mark this season, and its once-shaky offense seems to be turning the corner after a sloppy start. Minnesota’s offense, on the other hand, remains a work in progress.

The Nittany Lions‘ defense has been tough all season, allowing 255.7 yards per game to rank eighth in the nation in total defense and sixth in scoring defense (10.2 points per game). But considering the highest-ranked offense Penn State has beaten was Illinois — 84th at 341.6 yards per game — it’s difficult to gauge how good defensive coordinator Tom Bradley’s unit is.

Minnesota’s offense fits right in with the rest of the struggling groups the Nittany Lions have faced, with the Golden Gophers (4-2, 2-1) ranking 99th in total offense (319.7 yards per game).

If we see some numbers we can notice that in passing yards both teams are kind at the same level. Minnesota has around 222 yards begin Webber the most representative of the team with 57% of completions. On the other hand, we can see that Penn State has 245 yards with  Newsome as the most important part of this with 72% of completions.

We can also see that  during the season, Minnesota has a total yards per game of 319 while Penn State has a total of 427 in average and that tells something regarding to pick the one that will make the best performance. I think that Minnesota offense is strong, but Penn State is faster at this and I think that their fast offense is what is going make the difference the day of the game.
