BIG 10 Conference - Minnesota Golden Gophers Preview
Will it be 5 straight bowl appearances for the Minnesota Golden Gophers and Head Coach Glen Mason. In 2005 they won at Michigan for the first time since 1986. They have one of the premiere offenses in the country that averaged 36 points per game. The defense gave up 30 points per game and was a big factor in their failure.
The Gophers return 12 starters from last season but lost some offensive fire power. Back for his senior finale is quarter back Brian Cupito after a 4627 yards with a 33-16 TD/INT ratio in 2005. He has a great WR unit to let the pigskin go airborne. The gophers lose their #2 all time rusher, and running back Gary Russell is academically ineligible for the 2006 season.

The Gophers should be an offensive powerhouse when airborne. The defensive back seven look decent but not up front where they gave up 4.4 yards per carry last year. Special Teams will be OK with everyone returning with the exception of a few. The Gophers rushing presence is no more, but look for the offense to go airborne a bit more. Also look for the defense to improve. Odds are they wont top last seasons 7 wins but going bowling is a strong possibility.
