Minnesota Football vs Iowa: The Elite, The Meh, and The Ugly

You know what I hate more than Iowa? Losing to Iowa.

The Elite

Mohamed Ibrahim. The Gophers’ most reliable contributor on offense did what he could against the best run defense in the Big Ten, rushing for 144 yards on 33 carries. But Ibrahim is currently averaging 32.5 carries per game. Not sure how sustainable that is. Is the drop-off from Ibrahim to Trey Potts and Cam Wiley that significant? Even if that is the case, all the more reason not to run Ibrahim into the ground. He can’t carry the offense all season long.
