Minnesota Football vs Illinois: The Elite, The Meh, and The Ugly

The Minnesota Golden Gophers are winless no more, having notched their first win of the 2020 season with a 41-14 victory over the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday. There was a lot to like about their performance, which was by far their best of the season.
