per Megan:
The Gophers emerged changed from two weeks without football.
Not necessarily on the field, where any developments will show in Saturday's game at Nebraska, but in attitude. Day after day without practice while the team tried to control a COVID-19 outbreak that peaked at 49 cases could have mentally drained the already rundown Gophers.
At 2-3, having canceled two big games against rival Wisconsin and West-leading Northwestern, and with just two games left on the schedule, the Gophers could have resurfaced lacking any semblance of motivation.
Instead, they preach reinvigoration.
"When we were away from the building, it really gave us perspective, like, 'Wow, we're not playing football. This hurts,' " Gophers linebacker Mariano Sori-Marin said. "Maybe the Rose Bowl or some of the goals that we had planned on before the season are out of reach at the moment. That doesn't dictate our behavior."
