The defense for Maryland will be the problem in this game. The Golden Gophers had quite an impressive showing against a strong Wolverines defense and looked pretty solid defensively as well to a point. To make matters worse for Maryland is the fact that their running offense is unable to take advantage of the weaker Golden Gophers defense. Final Score, Minnesota Golden Gophers win 38-10.
