You do realize that the Gophers only have four teams left on the schedule that aren't ranked in the top 25. I think 4 or 5 total wins and competitive in all of the loses will be enough.
Tough beans. If you didn't want to have to beat a Top 25 team to get to the required 6-7 wins you shouldn't have lost to USD. It's not actually the worlds greatest feat for an unranked team to win a game or two over a top-25 team. Even most above average teams do it once or twice a year. Just because Brew hasn't done it even once in 3 + years doesn't make it impossible.
I don't have a problem giving Brew the rest of the season (or at least til the point of no return) to pull a rabbit out, but I have huge problem with the folks already saying that 3-4 wins as long as we 'lose close' is good enough. It's too late for that. Brew needs to show he can actually win football games. Not shorten the clock enough and score garbage touchdowns so it doesn't look too bad.
