per the Chicago Tribune:
3. Minnesota is the Northwestern of 2018.
I can hear it now: They’re not that good. They’re lucky to be winning week after week. The advanced stats say they’re due for a fall.
The Gophers are one of just nine undefeated teams from the Power Five conferences, joining Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Alabama, Baylor, Clemson, LSU and Oklahoma. They will finally join the AP Top 25 this week after No. 23 Texas A&M lost for the third time.
Minnesota barely beat South Dakota State, Fresno State and Georgia Southern to start the season. But like a hurricane gaining strength, the Gophers have pounded Illinois and Nebraska in back-to-back games.
Coach P.J. Fleck had Tanner Morgan attempt just 13 passes against Nebraska, reflecting the dominance of the three-headed rushing attack: Rodney Smith, Shannon Brooks and Mo Ibrahim combined for 322 yards on 46 carries.
“I had the best view in the house,” Morgan said.
