Minnesota will play a really close game until the 4th quarter and start to pull away

Really doubt it.
It'll be an interesting game.
On one side, I can see Minnesota playing this game close into the second half. Minnesota has two CBs that are likely the best the B1G has to offer. These two, according to Jerry Kill, have the ability to play press-coverage and allow the front seven to throw different blitz packages at the offense. That being said, it's probably just coach-speak. In any case, Trevone Boykin does not complete a high-percentage of his passes, so these two might cause him some difficulty (at least early on).
On the other side, I can see TCU gradually pulling away from Minnesota after halftime to a comfortable victory. There isn't a lot of talk about Minnesota's offense versus TCU's defense. The Gophers lost their only offensive production from a year ago and Mitch Leidner has not shown he has the ability to beat quality teams with his arm. I have more confidence in Gary Patterson's revamped defense showing up than I do the Minnesota offense. Additionally, J.T. Barrett ran wild on Minnesota for 189 yards and a touchdown.
I think (and hope) TCU wins this one by three touchdowns.
