As fans, these next two games are scary. We should dominate Rutgers and after looking like world beaters for two weeks Maryland has come crashing back to Earth in a big way. As Minnesota fans we are used to seeing the team drop games like these in the past.
But with the approach of the current staff I don't worry as much about that happening this time around. I love the fact that we have a bye week before the Penn State game. Human nature will be to circle that game and start looking to it but I feel like these coaches will be able to keep the players grounded, hungry and looking to make a statement. Would be very disappointing to lose either of these next two given where we are at right now.
I feel very confident that Fleck and his staff will have the guys ready to go and won't take anything for granted.
