WVU and Minnesota have never played, though there is a storyline to monitor here. Former Western Michigan, Minnesota and Penn State offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca was on Brown's staff as an analyst this season, but he's reportedly headed back to rejoin P.J. Fleck at Minnesota. Minnesota is No. 4 nationally in total defense (284.8 yards per game), No. 9 in rush defense (100.2 yards per game), No. 9 in scoring defense (18.2 points per game) and No. 10 in pass defense (184.7 yards per game). The Golden Gophers are No. 115 in passing offense (166.4 yards per game) but No. 31 in rush offense (193.8 yards per game) and No. 84 in scoring offense (26.1 points per game).
