Per Rand:
UCLA the week after that should be a reprieve and the Gophers’ best chance for a Big Ten victory. But that’s still a road game, so let’s take nothing for granted.
The last five: home against Maryland, at No. 19 Illinois, at Rutgers, home against No. 9 Penn State and at Wisconsin. You might think Maryland and Rutgers are easy-ish games, but both are projected by ESPN to finish with around seven wins. The Gophers? Five.
P.J. Fleck’s Gophers have thrived in recent years focusing on one week at a time instead of letting the big picture consume them.
Without the benefit of the soft Big Ten schedule, and staring at a daunting stretch of games, that mindset will be of extra importance this season if they are to prove doubters wrong.
