12 - Minnesota Golden Gophers​

Nobody knows what to expect of this year’s Minnesota team, as P.J. Fleck has a ton of new faces to work with. The expected starting quarterback is redshirt freshman Drake Lindsey, who threw five passes last season. The one constant offensively is star running back Darius Taylor, who should be primed for a huge season should he remain healthy.

The Golden Gophers lost a lot on defense, but have a budding star in sophomore safety Koi Perich, who recorded five interceptions as a true freshman.

Fleck will have a bit of a runway to kick the season off, as Minnesota opens with Buffalo and then plays Northwestern State before travelling to Cal for a non-conference game in Week 3. The two toughest matchups are road games against Ohio State and Oregon, both of which are likely to be losses. Aside from those two games, it is anybody’s guess as to how the season will go for the Gophers.

Key Games: Sep 13 at Cal, Oct 17 vs. Nebraska, Oct 25 at Iowa
 


I’ll bet them farm on Indiana being lower than the 3rd best team in the Big 10.

Love the WI pick at 17 though.
