The Virginia Tech Hokies are the more talented team and have the offensive horses to bury teams, especially on the road. However, the Minnesota Golden Gophers are a scrappy bunch that has a defense that travels well, and they’re not going down without a fight. The Gophers have held 5 of their 6 opponents this season under 70 points. Give me the points.
