per Randy:
One team has a first-year coach implementing his new system, trying to point a program that hasn’t won a conference title in a half-century in the right direction.
The other team has an embattled coach who already has lost the safety net of the athletic director who hired him and is just trying to salvage bowl eligibility for a proud program.
Saturday morning when the Gophers play Nebraska at TCF Bank Stadium, two teams trying to dig their way out of sub-.500 seasons will meet with the prize of a stop-the-bleeding victory at stake.
The Gophers (4-5, 1-5 Big Ten) are coming off their first blowout loss of the season — 33-10 at Michigan, in a game in which they gave up 366 rushing yards.
They have lost five of their past six games after a 3-0 nonconference start.
Coach P.J. Fleck doesn’t see a team that’s panicking, rather one that’s circling the wagons. Case in point was Sunday night’s team meeting.
“We got very real, very quickly,’’ he said.
