per Brian:
Don't be shocked if Minnesota is 5-0 when the Huskers come to town. The non-con schedule is completely manageable to start 3-0 again, though the second-week game at Fresno State is worth watching to get an early gauge on the Gophers. I think the one potential hiccup for this team before Nebraska, and sneaky important game in the wide-open West race, is when Fleck's team heads to Purdue on Sept. 28. The crossover games for Minnesota are Maryland, Rutgers and Penn State. A good chance to go at least 2-1 off that, but not cake either after you look past Rutgers, and a reminder that Maryland (which also plays Nebraska this year) could play an important piece in the West race. Would I pick Minnesota to win the division? Not with the QB uncertainty and without complete faith the defense is going to be what we saw in November and not the mess it was in October. But in a year when any of six teams could seemingly take it, the Gophers belong in the conversation as much as any.
