per Chip:
But here it is, that dream scenario now reality, a moment to embrace and cherish: The Gophers checked another box to set up the biggest home game for the program since Michigan came to town on a Friday night in 2003.
The Gophers assured themselves more national recognition by throttling Maryland 52-10 to remain undefeated and extend their lead in the Big Ten West to two games.
The Gophers enter their bye week knowing they will return to the spectacle of a visit by undefeated Penn State on Nov. 9. A clash of two 8-0 teams with a possible first ever visit by ESPN College GameDay. Penn State is ranked No. 6 nationally, the Gophers No. 17. Both likely will be ranked higher by then.
There shouldn’t be an empty seat inside TCF Bank Stadium for this one. If a game of this magnitude doesn’t generate a sellout, there is no hope for college football in this market.
“We had a huge party in there,” coach P.J. Fleck said, motioning to the locker room. “It was a heck of a party. I told them to enjoy it. They have to enjoy it.”
Seriously, folks. This is a big deal, a significant moment for Fleck’s program. An opportunity to make the college football world take notice. A chance to silence skeptics who nitpick the quality of the Gophers’ schedule to death. This will be a fun two weeks of anticipation.
