Minnesota had a great year this football season. I will freely admit that I expected them to go no better than 9-3 (they went 10-2), with a loss to the Iowa football team of course.
Their hot start yielded a comparison that many Hawkeye fans didn’t buy.
Throughout their season, this team was likened constantly to the Iowa football team that went 12-0 and won the Big Ten West in 2015. With the regular season in the rearview mirror, it is clear that the Golden Gophers fall short of this comparison.
The 2015 Iowa Hawkeyes, admittedly had a fortuitous schedule, only having played two ranked teams during the regular season.
