per his Q&A:

Minnesota is going to win the West? You should know better. – Scott E.

Yes, my bad. I apologize. This team just doesn’t appear to have it this season. It has been challenging and frustrating for Jerry Kill, I am sure. Injuries have hurt the o-line and bogged down an offense that lacks explosiveness. I was a year off on Iowa, picking it to win the West last season, so maybe my incorrect prediction will mean good things are in store for the Gophers in 2016?

Well, we will have an Iowa-like schedule.
 

That would not surprise me, frankly. The combination of a lot of experienced kids coupled with a much easier schedule might
very well have the Gophs challenging for the West in 2016.

This season? Just find a way to win at least a couple games and get into a bowl...any bowl.
