Per BVM:
PJ Fleck and the Minnesota Gophers are facing a challenge as they prepare to compete against Bret Bielema and the Illinois Fighting Illini. In a recent episode of "Locked On Golden Gophers," host Kane Rob highlights how the Gophers are perceived as underrated in RJ Young's full rankings of 134 college teams. The show also includes insights into the changes facing their week 10 opponent, Illinois, as the Gophers navigate the upcoming season.
By the Numbers
While the Gophers are seen as low in rankings, their potential for improvement this season under Fleck raises questions about ranking methodologies and the impact of recent personnel changes in Illinois.
State of Play
The Gophers aim to improve their standing in upcoming games, particularly the high-stakes encounter with Illinois. Continued dialogue on their performance will shape perceptions ahead of the season.
Bottom Line
The Gophers need to capitalize on their season opportunities to shift the narrative about their ranking and demonstrate growth in a competitive Big Ten landscape.
