The Gophers had one of the most brutal opening Big Ten schedules. Ever. Honestly I felt that they would have been lucky to come through those first 8 conference games with 2 wins. And then they went and won half of them. Beating two teams in the top 10. Color me impressed.
Now we get to the “easier” portion of the schedule. The part where we play a bunch of teams that are not ranked. Awesome, right?
First up? A road game at Nebraska, the worst team in the Big Ten. That game was Covid-cancelled. Technically it was postponed, but Nebraska had to miss several games, so I’m not counting on that one being made up.
