per WCCO:
Week 1 of the season was a bit dicey for P.J. Fleck and company, as the Gophers held off an upset bid from the South Dakota State Jackrabbits 28-21.
Entering Week 2, they face a difficult task, flying out to the West Coast to Fresno, California for a matchup with the Fresno State Bulldogs, coached by Jeff Tedford. Fresno State nearly upset USC in it opening game of the season, with the Trojans needing an interception on the final drive to hold off the bid. With expectations raised for Fleck’s second year with the program, the Gophers are expected to win this game.
“What I think is interesting about it is, there are a lot of people predicting Minnesota to take the next step this year. There are a lot of people predicting Minnesota to have a really nice year and maybe even be in the mix in the Big Ten West. They certainly didn’t look like it,” said CBS Sports Network analyst Ross Tucker. “Maybe they are reading their press clippings a little bit too much, but they are going to have to play a lot better to beat Fresno State out there, because that is not an easy place to play either.”
