Metrodome notoriously unkind to visiting Hoosiers

The last time the IU football team knocked off the Minnesota Golden Gophers in Minneapolis, the price of a gallon of gas was about $1.08. Now at .500 through four games, IU faces Minnesota, who “is a good football team and a much-improved football team from a year ago,” said IU coach Bill Lynch.

This time around, there could be some fresh faces taking the field for the Cream and Crimson.
