Over the course of its final four games of the 2018 season, including the bowl game, the Gophers football team ranked 13th in the nation in point differential, outscoring opponents 126-67.

The only Big Ten team that was more dominant down the stretch was Iowa. The Hawkeyes outscored their final four opponents 131-64, including a 63-0 drubbing of Illinois.

In their final four-game stretch the Gophers beat an excellent Purdue team 41-10 at home, fell in a tough contest against Big Ten West champion Northwestern 24-14, won 37-15 at Wisconsin for their first victory in Madison since 1994 and then defeated Georgia Tech 34-10 in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit.

The Gophers completed their spring session Saturday with the Maroon team beating the Gold 38-20 in the spring game, which was moved indoors to the Athletes Village. Coach P.J. Fleck said there is no doubt the team wants to find a way to carry over that momentum into the 2019 season, and that all began this spring.

“We always want to find a way to be able to start fast, accelerate in the middle and finish strong,” Fleck said. “We have said that since Day 1. Whether it’s starting practice fast, accelerate in the middle, finish strong at practice or whether that is games, whether that’s the season, it doesn’t matter if it is the day, the week or the year. We want to be able to do that all the time.”
