Elite? More like delete (this season)
The teams that were sitting at the top of the B1G last season are asking politely for a redo. Because through the first two weeks of the season, it’s those teams that are struggling the most right now.
Last year, Iowa (10-3), Minnesota (11-2) and Penn State (11-2) all hit double-digit win totals. So far in 2020, they’ve combined for 6 losses, with all sitting at 0-2. In case you’re bad at math, the Hawkeyes, Gophers and Nittany Lions were 32-7 in 2019 and are currently 0-6 this fall.
Wouldn’t you be asking for a reboot, as well?
Here’s an acronym for you, Minnesota — WITH
WITH — What In The Hell? That’s really the question for the Golden Gophers right now. With the defense looking pretty bad against Michigan, several key players missing and the special teams a complete cluster(you know what), nobody really expected Minnesota to follow up the 11-2 season with an undefeated year, or anything close to it.
But a loss to Maryland? Blowing a 17-point lead in the 4th quarter on top of that? That’s a new low for P.J. Fleck’s team in his four seasons in the Twin Cities. The Terrapins are not a good football team, and the Gophers made them resemble Clemson or Alabama in those final 15 minutes on Friday night.
Minnesota has quickly turned from a B1G West contender to potentially the worst team in the conference. And that’s really not an exaggeration.
