per BTN:
Minnesota is also thinking big, coming off a huge win at Michigan before being off last week. Like Northwestern, the Gophers have a strong defense. Also like Northwestern, the Gophers have an offense that’s still a work in progress. NU’s issue is running, which is no problem for Minnesota. But the Gophers struggle to pass. Another thing the teams have in common: They didn’t start well, though Minnesota’s beginning wasn’t as bad as NU’s.
“I think if you look at us, you would say we struggled, too,” Kill said. “Sometimes early in the year for whatever reason — timing, continuity, injuries — sometimes you get off to a slow start.
“I think the key is that you keep improving each week, and … as you hit the Big Ten, just keep climbing the mountain. There are certain teams in our league that do a heck of a job of that. Iowa does a good job of that each year.”
Northwestern and Minnesota each are looking to keep improving and to take that proverbial next step in their development. It’s gonna be fun to see if either of these teams can make a push for the championship in the wild, wild and wide-open West.
Why not Minnesota or Northwestern? Why not, indeed.
