Per Marcus:
For Gophers coaches Ben Johnson and Dawn Plitzuweit, this is a critical season to climb the standings and build their brands so they can walk into a new-look Big Ten with more swagger.
"We're adding four pretty prestigious programs," Johnson said. "We want to continue to grow and be the best we can be."
In Johnson's first two seasons, the Gophers finished tied for 14th and in sole possession of 14th place in the Big Ten. They were 9-22 last season.

Both Gophers head coaches — Ben Johnson and Dawn Plitzuweit know this is a vital season to climb the standings and build their brands — as competition will only get fiercer when the Big Ten grows to 18 teams.
