Early 2017 Wisconsin football preview: Week 13 at Minnesota

The rivalry between the Wisconsin Badgers and the Minnesota Gophers could get interesting with a new sheriff in Minneapolis.

Former Western Michigan head coach P.J. Fleck was hired by Minnesota to replace Tracy Claeys, and as the energetic leader of the program has said, he wants to make the Gophers ELITE.

Minnesota will have to find a new starting quarterback and leading wide receiver, along with replacing a good chunk of its secondary.

The Daily Gopher’s Blake Ruane gave his thoughts on the new regime and what Minnesota will have to build on heading into the 2017 season.
