per Mills:
A week later, Minnesota visits Kinnick to try to take back Floyd of Rosedale for the first time since 2014. The Gophers’ competitiveness in the rivalry is rising in the third season of head coach P.J. Fleck — the power index projects Minnesota having a 37.2 percent chance to win, even in the tough Kinnick atmosphere.
Iowa firmly snared the victory over Minnesota last season, 48-31 in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Then-freshman quarterback Zack Annexstad threw 3 interceptions. But he and the rest of the young Gopher squad are a year older: Minnesota returns 17 starters this season.
“Went from the youngest team in America last year [to] now I think we’re the second youngest, so we moved up one spot possibly,” Fleck said. “That doesn’t mean you can’t win. We’re just young. And close to 80 percent of our team is only freshmen and sophomores, which is exciting.”
