Per RandBall:
The Gophers haven't fully capitalized on their best years (2003 under Glen Mason, 2014 under Jerry Kill and the aforementioned Fleck seasons). But they also didn't maintain a high enough floor other seasons. Mason's Gophers went just 10-14 in the Big Ten after the 2003 season. Kill's Gophers fell to 2-6 in conference play in 2015.
Fleck's Gophers are 18-9 in the Big Ten in the last three full seasons (not counting the Covid year). But they also face the second-toughest schedule in the country in 2023.
Gambling sites have put their over-under win total at seven this season. They will be well-served to at least hit that mark if they want to build a bridge to 2024 and beyond.

Gophers football mission: Establish higher floor for what makes a successful season
P.J. Fleck has the Gophers on a good path. But 2023 might be as much about maintaining a baseline level of performance than competing for a conference title.
