Per Souhan:
In 2019, the Gophers football team put together the program's best season in a generation.
What they proved on Saturday, in a 34-7 spindling of recently-ranked Michigan State in Lansing, was that the 2022 team could be better.
Maybe not as spectacular. The 2019 team featured Rashod Bateman and Tyler Johnson making acrobatic catches downfield, and the 2022 Gophers have lost top receiver Chris Autman-Bell for the season because of a knee injury.
The '22 Gophers may be so well-rounded and experienced that they can produce spectacular results without spectacular plays.
Saturday, the Gophers looked comfortable winning methodically, with the kind of game that other college coaches could show their players as an instructional tape.
Go Gophers!!

2022 Gophers are for real — and maybe better than the 2019 team
A cruising victory in Lansing should lead to ranking this week, and could point to a very high spot by the end of the season.
