What’s at stake?
Minnesota is on a four-game winning streak, its longest in Big Ten play in three years. The Gophers, having secured bowl eligibility, have an opportunity for a top-five finish in the first season of the 18-team league if they can keep up the momentum created by their passing attack behind transfer QB Max Brosmer. He was brought in from FCS-level New Hampshire to replace Athan Kaliakmanis, who bolted for Rutgers, setting up this grudge match against the Gophers. Coming off a bye week, Rutgers will try to end a four-game losing streak.
Key matchup
Rutgers has given up an average of almost 40 points the last three games in losses to Wisconsin, UCLA and Southern Cal. Defensive coordinator Joe Harasymiak, who spent three seasons (2019-21) at Minnesota, becoming the DC in 2020, needs to come up with something against Gophers offensive coordinator Greg Harbaugh Jr., whose unit is averaging almost 30 points in its streak.
Players to watch
Minnesota CB Justin Walley. The fourth-year starter has been an integral part of Minnesota’s stout pass defense, with two of the team’s 15 interceptions – which ranks second in the FBS – and a team-leading nine pass breakups. He has 26 pass breakups for his career, five short of the program record.
Rutgers WR Dymere Miller. The transfer from Monmouth matched his career high with 11 catches for 131 yards. He’s the first time Scarlet Knight with at least 10 receptions since Mohamed Sanu had 13 at Army in 2011.
