247 Outlook for season

Minnesota Gophers 2019: ESPN FPI’s game-by-game predictions

I'd be outright giddy.

I'd probably just shit my pants, and wear 'em proud.

I'm going to take a stab

SDSU-W-SDSU is one of the better FCS teams, but they're breaking in a new QB and, well, it's an FCS team.
@ Fresno-W-Fresno has a good coach in Tedford. Gophers beat them in MN with freshman QB and Rob Smith at DC. Fresno graduated A LOT of talent last year.
GA Southern-W-GSU runs the option, they were good anemic at offense and used defense that got turn overs. Unless we cough up the ball 2-3x, this should be easy W
@ Purdue-L-Purdue graduated a lot of talent, if this were @ home, I'd put it as a W, but I think this one of those coulda/woulda/shoulda games MN always has
Illinois-W-I still have nightmares over last years debacle
Neb-W-Nebraska was 4-8. The hype train is strong. QB looks good, rest of team, not so sure.
@ Rutgers-W-Rutgets stinks
Maryland-W-Can winfield survive this game finally? Another game
Penn St-L-Even with ? at QB, franklin has recruited well.
@ Iowa -L-Pains me to say it, we last won at Kinnick in 1999 I think. Hurts to lose Floyd so man years in a row
@ NW -L- 3 game losing streak. Gopher fans officially panic, declare fleck useless
Wisconsin -W-We keep axe back to back years, regain series lead. Fleck is a hero

final record 8-4

Putting them into tiers
Games we should win:
SDSU
GSU
Rutgers

Games we should win as slight favorites:
Fresno
Maryland
Illinois

Toss ups
Neb
Purdue

neutral-Slight underdogs
Iowa
NW
Wi
Penn St

Not awe inspiring, but it's a win

 

[PnkPanther]

Despite less than stellar performance vs SDSU, I think Gophers sneak out of Fresno with hard fought win

I'm looking for the OL to establish themselves, they made a lot of mistakes last week vs SDSU, and will need to clean up a lot

Defensively I think they'll need to force a TO or two again to get the Win. Tedford can coach offense.

Fresno is trendy upset pick, and I can see why.

Gophers 28 Fresno 24

Didn't they finish the season ranked 18th last year, behind only 2 losses (one of which was us...)? And aren't they favored?


Anyway... longest Out of Conference win streak on the line. Should be fun.... Just wish it wasn't so late.

Yes.

Gophers are favored by 3

Yes.

hmmm... I thought I saw Fresno by 4. Regardless, should be a good test.

opened at -3, and everything I've seen still around there, Most money is coming in on Fresno however.

I'm looking forward to it, and hopefully putting SDSU game behind us

Two wow plays. Just insane

Fresno is a well coached team, this will be a good win. Mn was very sloppy, had they not made so many mistakes, they probably win by scores, but they did. The good news is they didn't fold tent and give up, they went and got job done

One more warm up before then B1G season starts

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

I think we're sitting alright. Get to 3-0, and take the bye... before kicking off the B1G portion of the schedule against Purdue. Such an appealing schedule after them, until MD....

Not a pretty win. Again so many self inflicted wounds. GSU scores 12 points on 24 yards of offense in 2nd half


Biweek room clean up. OL in particular

oc needs realize Wrs are our strength, stop RUTM so much when it isn't working

Game winning drive was impressive.

Up next Purdue, last I saw we were -1 for game

Purdue hasn't been able to run, and I think our pass rush can get home.

B1GW hasn't shaped up like I thought

Wi/Ia are better than I thought
Nebraska is about what I thought
MN isnt looking as good as I hoped
Purdue is about what I thought
NW is worse than I thought
Illinois maybe better than I thought?

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

B1G season kicks of tomorrow. Be nice if they can eliminate the mistakes that plagued them in their first 3 games.
