Boykin is one of the top Heisman candidates this season.

The Gophers have covered the spread in four straight on fieldturf coming into tonight. Jerry Kill is in his fifth season as head coach of the team. He is 25-26 in his four year with Minnesota, but is coming off back-to-back 8-5 seasons. The Gophers lost stud running back David Cobb to the NFL, but Kill is hoping quarterback Mitch Leidner can take a step up in play. He had 1,798 passing yards with 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 2014.
