Q: Thank goodness Penn State is returning to Big Ten play Saturday. I can't take any more of those creampuffs. Do you expect Minnesota to be a tough test for a change?

James, Belle Vernon

MUSSELMAN: James, I am with you. It will be nice to see another quality opponent at Beaver Stadium - Iowa was the first one a few weeks ago and the unbeaten Hawkeyes left with a 21-10 win. Minnesota is 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten. The Golden Gophers have four comeback victories to their credit, and they have a dynamite wide receiver in Eric Decker, who was a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist last year. The Gophers will be a good test for the Nittany Lions, who have beaten four Division I-A teams with a combined 7-14 record, along with a Division I-AA team.
