per Sandell:
Jerry Kill's program overhaul has taken root and tangible results have already sprouted. Progress has been made. The right pieces appear to be in place.
Minnesota is on the verge, but it is still waiting to take the next step towards the goal of rising closer to the Big Ten's upper echelon.
Last season, the Gophers were clearly overmatched when came to going up against the likes of Wisconsin, Michigan State and Nebraska. That has since changed.
Losses to the Badgers and Spartans were showcases of both the significant strides the Gophers have made and the steps the program must still make to get to where Kill and Co. have set course for.
The Gophers must now wait to learn their postseason fate. The Gator Bowl (fifth selection in Big Ten) or a return trip to the Texas Bowl seems to be their likely destination. Reaching the Gator Bowl and matching up against an SEC foe, which would require the Gophers to be selected over one of the six eligible Big Ten squads, would be a sizable accomplishment in Kill's third year.
