The Minnesota Golden Gophers seem to be the flavor of the season in many circles. A couple of outlets and publications have Minnesota as the favorites in the Big Ten West heading into the 2015 season. Some of that can be attributed to Jerry Kill’s track record of improving teams consistently from year to year wherever he goes.
Be that as it may, there still seem to be some naysayers when it comes to how high the Gophers can go in 2015. I happened to catch a local ESPN radio broadcast in a market in the Big Ten West recently.
