Ahead of showdown with Huskers, Sparty rises in Parker Gabriel’s Big Ten power rankings | Football



6. Minnesota (2-1, 0-1)

Previous: 5. LW: W 30-0 at Colorado.

The Gophers suffered a major injury in Week 1 when Mohamed Ibrahim was lost against the Buckeyes. Then they struggled against Miami (Ohio). That must have made Saturday feel even better as Minnesota hammered Colorado on the road. P.J. Fleck’s team held Colorado to minus-19 rushing yards, 63 yards overall and six first downs. Hello. UM has a brutal closing run, but its next six look like this: Bowling Green, at Purdue, Nebraska, Maryland, at Northwestern and Illinois.

7. Wisconsin (1-1, 0-1)

The Badgers didn’t play and will come off the bye week looking for better quarterback play. They’ll hope they don’t see too much of it in the opposite huddle, too, when they face Notre Dame and former UW signal-caller Jack Coan.



Steven M. Sipple and Parker Gabriel discuss the four most interesting Nebraska football topics Tuesday at Memorial Stadium.







8. Maryland (3-0, 1-0)

Previous: 8. LW: 20-17 at Illinois.

The Terps are off to a good start under Mike Locksley. Taulia Tagovailoa is leading the Big Ten in total offense per game and has a potent set of receivers to throw the ball to. Maryland had fumble problems and needed some help from Illinois to get out of Champaign with a win, but got the job done. Kent State is up next before perhaps the most rugged stretch of any Big Ten team: Iowa, at Ohio State, at Minnesota, Indiana, Penn State, at MSU and then Michigan.
