地鼠橄欖球隊將於週六在伊利諾伊州尚佩恩迎戰伊利諾伊州第 24 名球隊。

伊利尼州教練Bret Bielema 在X（前Twitter）上表示，頂級外接手帕特·布萊恩特（Pat Bryant）、角衛卡萊布·帕特森（Kaleb Patterson）和小托里·考克斯（ Torrie Cox Jr.）將為週六對陣美國隊的比賽「做好準備」。

No. 24 Illinois will be at (nearly) full strength when it hosts Minnesota on Saturday morning at Memorial Stadium in Champaign.

週六早上，排名第 24 的伊利諾伊州在尚佩恩紀念體育場主場迎戰明尼蘇達時，將（幾乎）全力以赴。

Illini coach Bret Bielema said on X, formerly Twitter, that top wide receiver Pat Bryant and cornerbacks Kaleb Patterson and Torrie Cox Jr. will be “ready to go†for the game against the U. All three were previously considered game-time decisions.

伊利尼州教練布雷特·比勒馬（Bret Bielema）在X（前Twitter）上表示，頂級外接手帕特·布萊恩特（Pat Bryant）、角衛卡勒布·帕特森（Kaleb Patterson）和小托里·考克斯（Torrie Cox Jr.）將“準備好”參加對陣美國隊的比賽。

Cornerback Terrance Brooks was also considered a game-time decision, but his status is unclear.

角衛特倫斯·布魯克斯也被認為是比賽時決定的，但他的狀態尚不清楚。

Bryant is a dynamic receiver, leading the team in receiving yards (510) and touchdowns (seven) on 34 receptions. Containing Bryant will be a priority.

科比是一位充滿活力的接球手，34 次接球中接球碼數（510 碼）和達陣（7 次）領先全隊。遏制科比將是首要任務。

And having two of their key cornerbacks in the lineup certainly makes life tougher on Gophers quarterback Max Brosmer coming off his best game of the season. Patterson has 22 tackles, three passes defended and a fumble recovery this season, while Cox has 11 tackles, two interceptions and a pass defended.

而他們的兩名關鍵角衛出現在陣容中，無疑會讓地鼠隊四分衛馬克斯·布羅斯默(Max Brosmer)的生活變得更加艱難，他剛剛結束了本賽季最好的一場比賽。帕特森本賽季有 22 次鏟斷、3 次傳球防守和一次掉球恢復，而考克斯有 11 次鏟斷、2 次攔截和 1 次傳球防守。

The Gophers, who are in the midst of a three-game winning streak, will look continue their momentum, and to beat Bielema for the first time, with the Illini essentially at full strength for the 11 a.m. kickoff.

地鼠隊目前正處於三連勝之中，他們將繼續保持勢頭，並首次擊敗比勒馬，而伊利尼隊在上午 11 點開球時基本上已經全力以赴。
