Out of these three games...which one worries you the most and why?

Purdue, Illinois or Minnesota.

For me it is now Purdue.  We already know how tough they play NU and this game will be on the road (maybe for a sleepy 11am kickoff, not sure, I didn't check) with a coach that seems to really know offense.

 
Really hate that short week against Illinois but Purdue is definitely more scary. Only 2 games but Blough is in a real offense finally and it's showing. Passing efficiency rating up from 119 to 194. 74% passing, 10.5 Y/A. There's reason to be hopeful that Jones is back by then because we are going to need him.

I'm not all that worried about Minnesota as of now.

 
if we take 2 out of those 3  I'd be pleasantly surprised 

looking at the schedule and taking in to account the first 2 games  I'd say we're looking at a 5-7 maybe 6-6 season.

74%...really?  Wow

 
They better win all three. I'll stick with Purdue. Minnesota had a blow out win yesterday but Oregon State looks absolutely horrific so far this year so that hardly counts as a P5 road win. I'd be pushing Purdue above Northwestern as far as level of difficulty at this point.

Fan base probably freaks out, rightfully so, if we lose one of those. Really can't afford to do it. If they slip up against 1 of those, they better darn well beat both Wiscy and Iowa.

Minnesota. PJ Fleck is rowing that boat and they seem to get more confident with themselves each week. Whether or not that confidence is justified, at the very least they are playing with confidence and they believe in themselves. That is scary.
