Rankings of opponents passing offenses last year out of 128 teams in FBS. 6 of the 30 worst on our schedule, taking out Army, Navy and USAF. 8 of the 40 worst passing offenses. 9 of 50 worst.
Iowa loses Beathard and has no healthy WRs, Beavs lose top rcvrs and QB who actually won games, Illini going with a run first QB versus Lunt, Maryland yet to name a QB, Nebraska loses Westerkamp and Morgan and QB, Michigan yet to name a starter and lost tons at WR and TE.
Gopher secondary doesn't have to be world beaters, like they were against #3 WSU with a depleted unit. Although if Kiondre, Shenault, Winfield, McGhee, and Huff stay healthy, they may be.
Northwestern ranked 51...loses All American WR...Thorson dreadful versus us.
Only real passing attacks on schedule are #8 MTSU and #21 Purdue...both of them have so many other holes, I think we can handle them.
