CBS analyst Charles Davis sees Gophers as contender in Big Ten’s second tier
CBS analyst Charles Davis says Minnesota’s talent level is strong enough to challenge for the Big Ten’s fourth spot after preseason camp observations.
- On Saturday, CBS analyst Charles Davis will call the 2:30 p.m. matchup between Minnesota and Mississippi State at Huntington Bank Stadium, testing his prediction that the Gophers are Big Ten contenders.
- Davis formed his assessment after observing preseason practices, though Las Vegas oddsmakers project only 6 1/2 wins and a 10th-place finish for the Gophers this season.
- The analyst highlighted 6-foot, 210-pound running back Darius Taylor and receiver Javon Tracy, while noting defensive standout Anthony Smith and transfer defensive end TJ Bush have already made impacts.
- Line of scrimmage battles will determine the outcome, as Davis watches whether Minnesota's defensive front can control Mississippi State's rebuilt offensive line.
- Mississippi State believes it has its best roster under coach Jeff Lebby, featuring quarterback Kamario Taylor, whom Davis compared to Cam Newton, Michael Vick, and Robert Griffin III.
