per Souhan:
The Gophers’ victory over Nebraska shouldn’t have been a surprise, given Nebraska’s injuries and ongoing rebuild under Scott Frost, but the University of Minnesota should never take a victory over Nebraska for granted. Nebraska is one of those schools that has all of the advantages of a remote, land-grant football factory that the Gophers do not have. Blowing out the Cornhuskers under any circumstance is a sign of progress.
Fleck has maximized his team’s strengths (running back depth and wide receiver excellence) and hidden its flaws (lack of size, and secondary depth, on defense).
In two weeks, the Gophers should be 8-0 with an excellent Penn State team coming to town.
It will be possible, at that point, to compare Fleck’s 2019 team with Brewster’s 7-1 2008 team.
But you shouldn’t. Whether you like him or wear earplugs any time you’re within 5 miles of campus, you should be willing to admit that Fleck and his staff can coach.
