Classic Gopher sports, amirite? One day you’re enjoying a 5-star victory on the road over your arch rival, and the next you’re killing your momentum by giving up halftime leads at home to an equally matched foe. It’d be maddening if it weren’t so predictable (okay, it’s still maddening), but that’s the hand we’re dealt with.
Snark aside, it’s less of an indictment on the Gophers themselves and more of a commentary on the Big Ten as a conference this year, where anyone can beat anyone at any given time. There are a couple great teams in the conference and whole bunch of very good teams that are going to beat up on each other all season, so these types of roller coaster rides are to be expected.
