The Big Ten football season that never was (and what could have been) - we’ll miss out on seeing if the Gophers could have taken that next step

per Nate:

By missing out on the 2020 season, we’re going to be missing another step in the culmination of P.J. Fleck’s rebuild of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Minnesota lost talents like Tyler Johnson and Antoine Winfield last season but returned a majority of last year’s 11-2 team, including quarterback Tanner Morgan who could be one of the top players under center in the Big Ten, and potentially the 2021 draft class. Last season’s team was their best in decades, but we’ll miss out on seeing if the Gophers could have taken that next step.

The star players (besides Fields) we’ll never see in college again

Rashod Bateman Set to be the top receiver of what looked, on paper before he opted out, to be one of the best rosters Minnesota has had in years. An All-American last season, Bateman went for 1,219 yards last year, finding the endzone 11 times. Bateman still could find his name being called in the first round of the NFL Draft this year, but if things had been different, Bateman could have lit up the Big Ten in 2020.


Go Gophers!!
