No, the Gophers needn’t apologize for winning, but they should be concerned. They are playing with fire. A roaring blowtorch.

Three games against supposedly inferior opponents, three sloppy performances, three harrowing finishes and three wins.

They should feel happy to be 3-0. They shouldn’t feel boastful about their blueprint in arriving at that record.

The Gophers escaped another potential morale-crushing loss Saturday with a touchdown in the final minute that saved their bacon for a 35-32 win over double-digit underdog Georgia Southern at TCF Bank Stadium.

“It certainly wasn’t pretty, but a lot of football isn’t pretty,” Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said.

The Gophers enter their bye week undefeated, but they better find another gear quickly with Big Ten season beckoning. This kind of performance won’t cut it if they want to become serious contenders in the Big Ten West.

Gopher fans probably don’t care whether the glass is half-full or half-empty at the moment. They just need a stiff drink in that glass after witnessing a nonconference slate of white knucklers.

Go Gophers!!
 

Until recent history the gophers didn't have an act that could come back from much at all...
 

Yeah, that’s what they said about the 1980 US Olympic hockey team. Trailed in every game. Won the biggest upset in sports history. Were world Champions.

It’s why they play the games.
