So, a world where the Gophers are 8-0 isn’t so far-fetched.

Except maybe to the Gophers themselves.

It’s a tried-and-true cliché, but taking it one game at a time is how the Gophers profess they keep winning.

Players and coaches spent a long time in the locker room after the Illinois game, celebrating a dominant win. “Felt amazing, not even going to lie,” is how sophomore safety Antoine Winfield Jr., described the 23-point victory.

But come Sunday morning, that revelatory mood vanished. Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said his players have even told him on those days, “Coach, it feels like we lost when we won.”

Go Gophers!!
 

At 5-0, still have BCS hopes alive.

Love hearing stuff like that, the worst thing that happens to teams that are not used to sustained success is when they lose their edge and start buying into the hype. Tends to result in a letdown game and a loss that probably shouldn't have happened.

These next three are all very winnable games and if the Gophers come out and play well they should win all 3, but if we get sloppy or don't bring our A game each week teams like Nebraska and Maryland have enough firepower to beat us.
