Remember that 2018 disastrous loss at Illinois? The Gopher defense gave up 55 points to a Lovie Smith team that finished 4-8. That game led to the firing of Robb Smith and probably added a year to Lovie’s tenure. Since that game, PJ Fleck and this program have gone 23-9 with some impressive wins along the way.
Can the Gophers continue what is turning out to be a rather successful season by taking care of business at home against Illinois?
