First, a question: Are sacks included in TFL numbers?

Second, an opinion not at all based on watching the golden gophers, since I haven't this season: It appears NU has a much superior offense, MN has had much more consistent and better ST, and that the defenses are close to a wash. Given that most points come from Offense and Special teams, in general, it seems like this should be a comfortable win for NU.

That said, NU's dick and feet have so many self inflicted bullet holes that the 3.5-point spread doesn't surprise me.

Plus, the level of competition is night and day. Minnesota only played Ohio State.
