INSIGHT BOWL PREVIEW

Kansas vs Minnesota on NFL Network at 6pm

Kansas Jayhawks will need quarterback Todd Reesing to have big game today throwing the ball. Todd has thrown for 3,575 passing yards and 28 touchdown passes. This is way the Jayhawks are ranked number 7 in passing yards. Todd's main target in this game will be Dezmon Briscoe. Dezmon has 1,206 receiving yards with 12 receiving touchdowns. Kansas will have to rely on there offense to score alot of points to win this game. There defense isn't that bad, but they need to score points or this game could get ugly. If there defense can make a few stops then they will beable to win. There offense is going to score some points, it is up to the defense to make a stand.

The Golden Gophers need wide receiver Eric Decker to have a big game tonight if they want to win. He had 925 receiving yards with 6 receiving touchdowns. Decker is one of the best receivers in the Big Ten and if he can't get going to night then Minnesota is going to have some problems. If Decker can get open, and start to dominant then they will start to double team him and that will leave other guys wide open. The guy throwing Decker the ball is Adam Weber. Weber threw for 2,585 yards with 14 touchdowns passes. Weber needs to find the open receiver and move around the pocket to make things happen. Minnesota needs to play a great game on defense. Kansas has a good offense and Minnesota needs to force turnovers if they want this game. They need there front four to get in the backfield and force pressure on the quarterback.

My Pick- Minnesota - 24-21
Flip's Pick - Kansas- 30-20

My Player to watch - WR Erik Decker
Flip's Player to watch - Todd Reesing
