Through seven games, the Minnesota football program continues to break records and post impressive metrics.
After a 42-7 win over Rutgers, the Gophers improved to 7-0 for the first time since 1960. Dating back to last year, Minnesota’s nine-game winning streak is the program’s longest since 1939-42 (18 games). Outside of the win-loss column, several advanced metrics indicate the Gophers have a chance to be competitive against top-tier teams. I spent time sifting through college football history and data to put the 2019 season into perspective.
