This week in Minnesota talk

The shows spent the week previewing Mississippi State at Minnesota as a close matchup, with a lot of focus on Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor and his arm talent. Mississippi State ended up dominating the Gophers 38-13, with Taylor putting up huge numbers, and the talk shifted to praising the Bulldogs' performance. PJ Fleck drew some criticism for punting on fourth-and-two late while trailing by 25 points.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

7 clips · 34 min. Some clips only play in the app.

In this week's clips: Kamario Taylor, Drake Lindsey, Darius Taylor, Javon Tracy, Anthony Smith.
