Per Shipley:
Minnesota got back to winning championships on Saturday, thoroughly dominating an overmatched opponent in the one-game Rutgers season, 31-0, at Huntington Bank Stadium.
The victory ended a string of three runner-up finishes in the Purdue, Illinois and Penn State seasons and set the Gophers (5-3 overall, 2-3 Big Ten) back up for what can still be a satisfying season. Raising that potential with the players is a dead end, however. Say what you will about coach P.J. Fleck’s methods — corny, annoying, phony — the players are preaching it, too.
“We’re just happy,” tailback Mohamed Ibrahim, “to be 1-0 in the Rutgers week.”
