Tanner Morgan throws for 3 touchdowns
Tanner Morgan has looked great for the Gophers this season. He has thrown for 618 passing yards, and 4 passing touchdowns, with a 71.7% completion percentage, and a 190.8 passer rating.
The Michigan State secondary has struggled through the first three weeks. Last week, Washington Quarterback, Michael Penix Jr. threw for 397 passing yards and four passing touchdowns.
The Spartan’s defense has been held together by their defensive line and linebacker crew. Michigan State has allowed just 269 total rushing yards on 2.7 yards per carry through their first three games.
On the other hand, Minnesota is averaging 312 rushing yards per game on 5.8 yards per carry.
Michigan State’s stout defensive front will push Minnesota to have to pass more and stray away from their run-heavy offense.
Expect new packages and plays from Minnesota to attack the Spartan’s secondary and open up their defensive front.
