per Sid:

The Gophers didn’t do everything perfectly in their 38-22 win over Northwestern on Saturday in Evanston, Ill., but that shows just how great this club is, and how far the Gophers have exceeded expectations, that a 16-point road win in the Big Ten is considered normal.

For the first time since 2003, the Gophers are 10-game winners. Their seven Big Ten Conference victories are the most in school history — and they have a real shot to still play three more games this season.

“It’s quite an accomplishment when everyone picked you [to finish] sixth,” head coach P.J. Fleck said after the game.

Yes, the fact is that his club is still in the driver’s seat to win the Big Ten West, and a shot at the national title remains a real possibility for the Gophers.

What this team has done is incredible.

Once again, it was the offense that set the tone for the Gophers.


Go Gophers!!
