Minnesota Football: Building the Perfect Season - Week 3

Big Ten football is back, but we will forge ahead with our attempt to build a perfect season of Minnesota Golden Gophers football over 13 weeks, inviting our readers to choose from three nominees for each week of the season dating back to 2000. For example, with this being Week 3, I have selected the three “best” — and the specific criteria for “best” is going to vary from week to week, depending on what I have to work with — Week 3 games from the Gophers’ last 20 seasons. And to be honest, there were not a lot of great Week 3 games to choose from, so I opted for a hodgepodge of bizarre choices.
