Gophers Try To Bounce Back Vs. San Jose State

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota is back home this weekend after a humbling loss.

The Gophers were beaten badly at TCU, and already-hurting quarterback Mitch Leidner suffered a turf toe injury in the process. Leidner is considered questionable to play Saturday against San Jose State. If he's not deemed ready, Chris Streveler will take his place.

With the Big Ten schedule waiting afterward, this is an important game for the Gophers to use to get back on track. They beat the Spartans 43-24 at home last year.

San Jose State is making its second straight road trip to an opponent from one of the five major conferences. The Spartans lost 59-13 at Auburn two weeks ago.
