Spend Ohio State's bye week watching some of the best college football Week 7 has to offer, including a dozen total AP Top 25 teams squaring off with each other throughout the day.
But for all the success Brown and the Illini have had on the ground so far, Minnesota’s efforts this season in that area appear even more impressive. The Golden Gophers have missed star running back Mohamed Ibrahim the last couple of weeks, but backups Trey Potts and Bryce Williams have performed admirably across the season with nearly 500 combined rushing yards and five touchdowns of their own.
The uniform success of Minnesota’s running back room has led to the Golden Gophers averaging the 13th-best estimated points added per game via rushing plays and fourth-highest success rate on the ground so far this season. Both Illinois and Minnesota’s defenses boast top-10 success rates against the run , so this game figures to offer a highly-competitive back-and-forth of smash-mouth football.
The Volunteers have not defeated their cross-divisional counterparts over the last 15 meetings, with their last win coming in 2006 under head coach Phillip Fulmer during one of his final seasons in Knoxville.
