per ESPN:
Overall: A-minus
Minnesota went 8-4 in the regular season, with three of those losses coming to eventual champion Ohio State (by seven points), on the road to a TCU team that was no worse than one of the three best teams in the country, and at Camp Randall Stadium against Wisconsin. The Gophers also hammered Michigan and Iowa, and beat Nebraska on the road. Their only bad loss was a head-scratcher at Illinois. It was a tremendous regular season that culminated with the program's first New Year's Day bowl appearance since the JFK administration. Minnesota couldn't quite close the deal, though, as it blew a 14-point first-half lead at Wisconsin with a Big Ten title game appearance at stake, and it collapsed in the second half versus a very beatable Missouri team in the Buffalo Wild Wing Citrus Bowl. Winning a postseason game remains on the to-do list for Kill and his program. But all in all, there was very little to complain about in the 2014 campaign.
