Opening thoughts
This is what I want to see Maryland fans saying all game long. “What are you doing? It’s a game of touch football, every time I look over you’re on your ass again.”
Gnome #TAKES
Maryland is FAST!
But they’re also not as good as Minnesota.

The Monday Perspective has nothing to prove
Keys to the game
- Everyone protect Antoine Winfield Jr.
- SLANT SLANT SLANT. Maryland is bad at defending the pass. Go get Tyler Johnson some NFL money.
- Tackle people. Maryland still has athletes. Contain them and the Gophers will be fine.
How afraid am I?
On a scale of 1 to 5 “Brewsters on his face” (1 being not a afraid, 5 being very afraid)?
