At 2-2, the Minnesota Gophers are staring down the potential of free falling to 2-4 with games the next two Saturday against No. 11 Michigan and No. 12 USC. Both teams will also present strong defenses that will make it imperative that the Gophers offense is firing on all cylinders. Heck, that might be necessary to simply stay in the games and avoid getting blown out.
