‘Row the Boat’ to the Big Ten title?
During P.J. Fleck’s last season at Western Michigan, he led the Broncos to an undefeated record and national acclaim all while championing the catchphrase “Row the Boat.” After taking a couple of years to rebuild the Minnesota program, it appears the boat is once again headed in the right direction as the Gophers are 7-0 on the season and in control of their own destiny in the Big 10 West following Wisconsin’s loss to Illinois on Saturday. So is it realistic to think about the Gophers in the Big 10 title game? And can they keep the undefeated season alive down a difficult stretch run?
We asked TheGopherReport.com’s Matt Jessen-Howard to discuss Minnesota’s surprising start and how the Gophers can maintain it.
“The Gophers started with a few less-than-pretty wins over non-Power Five opponents, but the past three weeks have looked like a true top-20 team. Their continued success has been aided by winning at the line of scrimmage — offensive and defensive line play were inconsistent at the start of the season but have turned into strengths. With Minnesota leading the Big Ten West standings and Wisconsin playing at Ohio State this week, the Gophers are in the driver's seat of the division. Minnesota has improved as the season's gone by, and they'll need to keep playing well to win the West with three top-20 opponents left on the schedule.”
