What Needs to Happen: Minnesota

Losing is tough on everyone.

As we all know, it’s tough on the fans, but at the end of the day we can go back to our lives and attempt to forget about college football for a short period of time. Coaches, administrators, and most of all the players do not have that luxury. They need to endure public scrutiny by the fans and tough questions from the media, all while getting ready to do their job and change the outcome next week.

The path to victory is always easier said in a “What Needs to Happen” post than done on the field, but that hasn’t been more the case during the Lovie Smith era than at this point.
