Three stats tell the tale of the Minnesota offense last season. The Gophers ranked:
- 8th in the country in rushing attempts
- 127th in the country in passing attempts
- 3rd in the country in time of possession
“We had to make the game shorter, we had to run the ball a little more, we had to do what we had to do to find ways to win games,” head coach P.J. Fleck said at Big Ten Media Days.
“And we still won nine games.”
Winning nine games is no small feat at Minnesota.
