We’ve got a narrative brewing, folks, and it’s that the Gophers can beat anyone at home and can’t beat anyone on the road. Minnesota is 10-4 on the season, having won 10 games at home — including big time wins over Iowa, Michigan State and Ohio State — and are winless on the road, with blowout losses in each attempt.
Now, that should come with something of an asterisk, since the Gophers have literally faced four of the nation’s best teams on the road. Should you expect wins in those scenarios? Probably not. Should you expect them to be competitive in at least one or two of those games?
