Not a good year to only play Whisky once, but I like that schedule if it pans out. Pretty rough road schedule though!

Yep, if that's the schedule the Gophers would do well to match last year's 5-4 road mark. Conversely, if that's the home schedule I would expect nothing worse than 7-2.

Like it I could see us going 12-6 with that schedule
