CFN on Gophers season: "It won’t be a corner-turning season, but everything will keep moving along."

[BleedGopher]

per CFN's season prediction article:

There’s no Penn State, Michigan, or Michigan State, and the biggest games against Ohio State and Wisconsin are at home – that’s about as much as can be reasonably asked for in the Big Ten.

However, Minnesota has a massive Iowa problem – losing six straight in the series – and that’s on the road. Going to Northwestern is rough, and facing Indiana on the road between Iowa and Wisconsin is a disastrous scheduling quirk.

Throw in the road dates against Colorado and Purdue, and again, it’s not going to be easy.

But Minnesota will keep beating almost all of the teams it’s supposed to, it’ll manage to get by one team it probably shouldn’t beat, and Fleck will make it to a third bowl in his last four seasons.

It won’t be a corner-turning season, but everything will keep moving along.

The bar is set. Have to be I-O-W-A on their field this year to be special.

Should be fun...

It’s like Jerry’s Citrus Bowl year. Except Leidballs lost us some easy games

True in general: to be special you gotta win the road games.

Two tough ones early on @Colorado and @Purdue. If we can win both of those, we have a chance at another 2019.

@NW, @ Iowa, and @IU (if they're close to their level last year), will be a tough stretch.


If we can head into that game in Iowa City with 2 or less losses ... will at least be a very fun end to the year!
