per FSN:
1. Four in a row?
Believe it or not, the Gophers haven't won four straight Big Ten games in a season since 1973. Minnesota did win four consecutive conference games in 1975-76, but that streak spanned two seasons. Following wins over Northwestern, Nebraska and Indiana, the Gophers now have a chance to make it a four-game winning streak. With each win, the confidence of Minnesota's players has grown. While they still insist they take things one game at a time, there's no mistaking the fact that the Gophers believe they can win each game they play -- an attitude that hasn't been seen around here in quite some time. “Winning solves a lot of problems,” said Gophers head coach Jerry Kill. If Minnesota does come away with a win on Saturday, it would enter the bye week with an 8-2 record, the first eight-win season since going 10-3 in 2003. A fourth win in a row would give the Gophers all sorts of momentum heading into its rivalry game against the Wisconsin Badgers, who could also be 8-2 when that game comes. But Minnesota must first worry about this Saturday as it tries to snap a 40-year-old drought.
