The Gophers survived against south Dakota State, Fresno State and Georgia Southern with come from behind wins where the games were all decided exceptionally late.
Since then we have gone 3-0 in conference in the following ways:
Purdue (rated above us in pre-season) - We held a commanding lead going into the fourth quarter before two touchdowns made it appear closer than it was.
Illinois - We dominated them like we were expected to.
Nebraska (media projected B1G West Champs!) - We dominated like no other game in recent history, rolling to a 34-0 score with over 300 yards rushing!
So, are we the team that struggled against the non-conference schedule?
Are we a young team that needed those first 4 games to mature into our potential?
Are we a team that should of been dominate all season long and was looking ahead to the B1G schedule?
Or, are we just a lucky team with a soft schedule?
I'm going with number 2!
Go Gophers!
