2. Katin Houser throws two more touchdown passes

The last time I predicted that Katin Houser would throw two touchdown passes was against Rutgers in his first career start and, well, he did just that.

Here we go for round two.

Houser is going to bounce back from a forgettable game against Michigan when he completed just 12-of-22 passes for 101 yards and an interception. It wasn’t all his fault as the Wolverines got after him early and often. It’s almost a miracle that he completed over 50 percent of his passes.

The former four-star quarterback is going to have a nice bounce-back game on Saturday afternoon in Minneapolis, passing for over 200 yards for the first time in his career and getting back into the touchdown column with two more passing scores.

This will be a telling performance by Houser. If he puts the Michigan game behind him and plays well against Minnesota, we’ll know he’s the real deal.
