How many teams have had a bye week before they played the Gophers

[MNSpaniel]

It seems like a lot of the teams that we have played have had a bye week before they played us. How many teams have had that advantage on us? Another question .. How many teams have had us for their homecoming game this year? Hopefully that will change in the future.

I think Indiana, Nebraska, Michigan, and San Jose State had bye weeks prior to facing us, but I don't feel like checking.

I thought this was brought up prior to the season and someone looked it all up. I think it was like 3 or 4 but it was about normal compared to other BT teams. Could be wrong though, I've had a few drinks this afternoon/evening.

And Wisconsin will have to face the Gophers after Minnesota's 2nd bye.

The big advantage in my mind is not necessarily in preparation but in getting healthy. One extra week of getting well is huge.

This is correct.
