per Danny:
I’ve been proven wrong. This team is for real. They’re not the fraudulent unbeaten with a weak schedule I thought they were. They validated that on Saturday afternoon with the 31-26 win against previously unbeaten and No. 4 Penn State.
This type of win is what it took for me – and others – to buy into what this team is capable of. Finding a way to win the Big Ten as a whole still looks to be a tall task, the Gophers right now look like they are no worse than the second-best team in this conference, behind only the team most believe to be the best in the country, Ohio State.
If the Gophers find themselves facing the Buckeyes down the line in Indianapolis, a different conversation would need to be had, but as for right now, there’s no reason to think that Minnesota can’t finish the regular season 12-0, Big Ten West Champions, and at worst setting a date with a Pac-12 team out in Pasadena for the first time in a few generations.
The win against Penn State made a believer out of me, now it’s up to this team to not let the best opportunity that this program has had in sometime slip away. There were always three games that were going to define this season for the Gophers. Beating Penn State was the toughest task of the three, but wining at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa for the first time since 1999 would only further the reason for believing in this team, and give fans more ammunition to keep dreaming about what could be. Beat Wisconsin the final week of the regular season to keep the Axe for consecutive seasons for the first time since 1993 and 1994, well, then the dream becomes real.
This team might just be special, and if you haven’t thought so yet, it finally is OK to believe.
