Before the USD game I posted a thread entitled something like "How We Beat USD Matters, Right?" At the time, I wasn't so sure whether a simply win was enough and that a big win meant something more for the future success of Brewster's program.
Now I absolutely believe that the Gophers must win convincingly. Brew needs to show that he can not only beat, but dominate so-called lesser teams; that he can put together a great or impressive game plan; and that his team can shut down the opposing offense.
Otherwise one of two things will happen:
(1) Brew's Gophers barely beat another minor conference/below average team; or
(2) Brew's Gophers lose again to another minor conference/below average team.
Option (1) provides no hope or encouragement for the future (let alone this season) at a time when Brewster's future is in question. Option (2) may turn even more people against Brew and force Maturi's hand.
For me, Brewster needs to win big this week and I will cut him some major slack.
