The Minnesota Gophers are off to a 3-2 start to the 2021 season. I think if you’d asked most fans, they’d have likely predicted either this exact record or 4-1 with the lone loss coming to Ohio State. However, it’s important to note that the folks predicting 3-2 would almost certainly have predicted that the team’s second loss would be at the hands of Colorado or Purdue, not Bowling Green. It’s that latter detail (and/or things like the noticeable struggles of the Minnesota offense) that have most Gophers fans feeling rather uneasy, despite the season going mostly as expected in terms of the overall record.
