The 2017 Season begins today for Gopher Football. Practice number one is today and the season is officially underway. This season the Gophers have pretty high expectations and there are some very real reasons for optimism. Gopher fans are excited as the team brings back a multi-year starter at QB, have better depth in nearly all position groups and a dynamic set of running backs following a good season where nearly everything that could have gone wrong, did.
But this is far from a complete team, it is not a Big Ten West favorite and there are some questions that need to be answered on both sides of the ball if this team is going to hit that 8 or 9 win mark that many believe is achievable.
