The MCT table at MSP is heavily equipment based. Here's the relevant portion for inbound on a CRJ (50-seat, doesn't matter if 100 or 200):
DL-DL DD .25 EQP CRJ - CRJ
DL-DL DD .25 EQP CRJ - CR9
DL-DL DD .35 EQP CRJ - D9S
DL-DL DD .35 EQP CRJ - D94
DL-DL DD .35 EQP CRJ - D95
DL-DL DD .35 EQP CRJ - E75
DL-DL DD .35 EQP CRJ - M88
DL-DL DD .25 EQP CRJ - SF3
DL-DL DD .35 EQP CRJ - 319
DL-DL DD .35 EQP CRJ - 320
DL-DL DD .35 EQP CRJ - 753
DL-DL DD .35 EQP CRJ - 757
Looks like you're right at the MCT. Maybe you'll get another schedule change before October that will either put you at too tight or give you five more minutes of buffer. I generally have no qualms about 35-minute connections at MSP, and the only times I've ever seen the moving sidewalks down is late at night when the LHR flight is about the only thing left to go (and I was of course running to catch it ). The tram is also excellent if needing to go the length of C. Use the map, know your route, and go. MSP is a very efficient airport and much easier to connect in than ATL, no matter what a few FTers who connect through MSP once in a blue moon tell you
