Sorry for the “Perspective” hiatus, but the first three quarters of the season are over and it is absolutely time for a check in on the team.
The short version of the story is that basically we are exactly where thought we’d be (or really close). And that this final stretch of three games is what we have been building towards. The Gophers dropped two games that were entirely winable, but lost in overtime at Penn State (hardly a bad loss) and played their worst game of the year and lost to Iowa at home.
The book on this season is far from written, even if many among us think they know the ending.
