per Judd:
A preseason prediction that the Gophers football team would win nine games this season was made based on the confidence that Jerry Kill's team would win three of its four nonconference games.
A reasonable expectation was the Gophers would lose their home opener to highly ranked TCU, before rebounding to beat Colorado State, Kent State and Ohio.
That's exactly what happened.
So why is there now a feeling Minnesota won't get to nine victories?
Because as the Gophers prepare to open Big Ten play on Saturday at 16th-ranked Northwestern, we might know less about this team than we did when the season began. This became clear as the Gophers barely got past MAC opponents the past two weeks, beating Kent State and Ohio by three points apiece.
There are a combination of factors for the uncertainty. Some are in Kill's control and some aren't.
