"You wouldn't think you'd need to steal one against Purdue at home, but they need to go in with the mentality that no one expects them to win that game, and that's the way they're going to have to play through the rest of the
season." Pioneer Press beat writer
Marcus Fuller on the Gophers during Monday's Gold and Black Radio. Listen to the archived edition here.
The Big Reveal
Here are brief notes from Danny Hope's Tuesday press conference. R Ricardo Allen's MRI is negative, which is positive news for the junior cornerback as he looks to return from
a shin injury. Allen missed Purdue's game at Ohio State. R Caleb TerBush will start at Minnesota and likely will
play a majority of the game. R Hope says Robert Kugler, who got his first career start at right guard at OSU, was the highest-grading of-
fensive lineman. R Paul Griggs could be challenged by Sam McCartney this week, after the for- mer missed three kicks vs. the Buck- eyes.

about this Saturday's game be- tween the Gophers and Boilers
Minnesota MarQueis Gray has moved from quarterback to wide receiver for the Gophers, due in part to an ankle injury that's kept him from 100 percent.
