This is the first time the Gophers have won 4 consecutive conference games by 20 or more since 1935-36. That was when it was the Western Conference, so it's technically correct to say it's the first time they've ever done it in the Big Ten. Furthermore, they hadn't even had a streak of three such games since then.
A pair of Mason teams won 4 by 20+ against mostly non-conference opponents. 1998 ended with a 49-7 rout of the Hawkeyes, followed by 3 cupcakes to begin 1999. That streak came to an end when they only beat Northwestern by 19. The 2003 team crushed a 4-game non-con schedule before beating Penn State by 6. No other team since the 30s matched those streaks.
