per Sid:
Most of the sports books in Las Vegas have the Gophers football team as a 14-point underdog in its home opener against Texas Christian on Sept. 3. While Gophers coach Jerry Kill believes his team can give the Horned Frogs a real battle, he knows it will be a big challenge.
“They’re good; a year ago I said they were going to be a good football team and the rest spoke for itself,” Kill said about TCU’s 12-1 season and No. 3 ranking in the final Associated Press and USA Today coaches poll. “They could have very well been in the playoffs. They don’t lose a lot of players. … Their 4x100 [track relay team] won the Big 12 and two of those guys [Kolby Listenbee and Cameron Echols-Luper] were wide receivers that ran 10.1 and 10.2.
“So they can run; athletically they’ll be just like they were last year. They’re very, very talented with a lot of speed. Other people are projecting them to be ranked No. 2 or No. 3 in the country when they come here. But a lot of people think they may be the best team in the country besides Ohio State.”
