Stop me if this sounds familiar: The Minnesota Golden Gophers are 3-0 to open the season and set to face a Maryland Terrapins squad that beat Texas to open the season before being dominated by an American Athletic Conference team in Week 3.
We know how this scenario ended last year. Will this year be different?
Let’s take a closer look.
Were they any good last year?
Record: 4-8 (2-7, T-6th B1G East)
S&P+ Overall Ranking: 114th
How good can any team be when their starting quarterback tears his ACL in Week 1, before losing their second-string quarterback to another ACL tear in Week 3?
