per Joe:
The college football schedule included two bye weeks in 2012 and 2013, giving the Gophers extra recovery time during those consecutive eight-win seasons.
Last year, there was only one bye, but it came at an ideal time, about halfway through the schedule, in Week 8, right between taxing games against Nebraska and Michigan.
This year, the Gophers (2-0) are getting a rest before they’ve broken a sweat.
Their bye this week comes after Saturday’s 58-28 win over Indiana State.
“I’d like to have [a bye] later in the season,” coach Tracy Claeys said Sunday. “But I don’t think this is a bad deal with everything that we’ve had go on.”
