GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: LB Carter Coughlin vs. Indiana’s offensive line. Coughlin is a pass-rushing demon this season, ranking seventh in the nation with eight sacks. The Hoosiers have suffered injuries at quarterback, with prized freshman backup Michael Penix Jr. ruled out for the season following a knee injury against Penn State last week.
DRAFT SLANT
–Wide receiver Tyler Johnson is moving closer to breaking several single-season program records. Johnson is battling constant attention from opposing secondaries and still has thrived despite the fact Minnesota is breaking in two freshmen quarterbacks.
ROSTER REPORT:
–CB Antonio Shenault is questionable to play against Indiana.
–QB Zack Annexstad is a game-time decision due to midsection injury.
