In 2019 Minnesota made College Football betting history. To illuminate, the Golden Gophers went 11-2 for their greatest season since 1962. Minnesota capped off that season with a decisive New Years’ Day bowl win over Auburn. Cause by that success did expectations rise for Minnesota. However, the on-again then off-again Big Ten pandemic policy thwarted Minnesota in 2020. Head coach PJ Fleck’s team fell to 3-4. For those who hate Fleck and his “row the boat” slogans, it was proof that the Golden Gophers were a flash in the pan. Now Minnesota seeks redemption.
