Minnesota at Maryland

The Minnesota Golden Gophers may be 3-0 to start the season, but there are a lot of concerns. QB Zack Annexstad was injured and left the last game with an ankle injury, but it looks like he will play in this one. The news that hurts more is that the Gophers have lost the services of their best offensive player RB Rodney Smith for the season. While the offense has taken some hits, the defense is one of the top units in the country, allowing just nine points per game. Maryland's offense ran into a brick wall last week vs. Temple, who held the Terrapins to fewer than 200 total yards and just 14 points. Minnesota has a below-average unit that is made worse by injuries, so the stout defense is going to have to play big here. Take the UNDER.
