I think Ohio CAN pull off the upset, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will. If the offense moves the ball, the ‘Cats might enter #MACtion undefeated. Rawr!

I'm feeling real bold here, Cotton. the Bobcats have proved me wrong before, and I won't pick against them again until they lose.

60 minutes of Derrius Vick for the second-straight weekend should do the Bobcats a lot of good, since he's a guy with a level head who knows how to take care of the ball. I also don't think there's anything Kent State's defense can do that Ohio can't, and the Flashes held the Gophers to 10 points last weekend.

The Bobcats look good this season so far. They have shown they know how to score and can keep their opponents from scoring. Although a Big Ten team, Minnesota shouldn't be too much trouble for Solich and his squad because it has bad wins. The Gophers barely beat a struggling Kent State team and nearly lost to Colorado State. So far not a good report card for Minnesota. Although Ohio's strength of schedule doesn't look the strongest, if Minnesota is struggling with Kent State, good luck with the Bobcats.

Minnesota 20, Ohio 13.
I've seen two versions of Minnesota so far. The one that almost knocked off No. 3 TCU during kickoff weekend, and the one that has struggled through wins against Colorado State and Kent State. But it's homecoming weekend in Minneapolis and I expect enough from the Golden Gophers that they can squeeze this one out. 60-minute consistency at Ohio's quarterback position, however, could spark an upset for the Bobcats.
