STrib: Game at New Mexico State still has a purpose for Gophers football

[BleedGopher]

per Joe Christensen:

The Gophers are 15-point favorites, but they were 20-point favorites in 2011, when New Mexico State came to TCF Bank Stadium and won 28-21. Minnesota was trying to mount a last-minute comeback when Kill had an epileptic seizure on the sideline. As painful as those memories are, the coach doesn’t want his team to forget.

“If you get beat by somebody, and you get a chance to go play them again — if that doesn’t motivate you a little bit, I don’t think you’re real human, you’re not a competitor,” Kill said.

I would think so, the NC part of the schedule is used to get you bowl eligible, the B1G schedule is to see how good you are, at some point if you are going to be successfull in the B1G you have to schedule better teams, I'll give a pass for now, year 5 or 6 not so much.
