Another even-numbered season, another visit from the Minnesota Golden Gophers is here as fresh-faced P.J. Fleck rows the boys in for what is sure be another afternoon of watching Huskers lines struggle and, even on Friday, still has the starting QB question looming over the proceedings.
And more importantly, looming over the bookies who opened the lines around Gophers -16 assuming Casey Thompson would not play. (That line on ESPN is now -14 1⁄2 which means next to nothing. If you don’t believe me, call up ESPN and place a bet.)
So what’s on the minds of Gopher fans after a 4-0 start was followed by a 3-game losing streak against the gauntlet of Purdue, Illinois and Penn State before righting the canoe with 31-0 shutout of Rutgers?
