The thing that keeps sticking out to me is the MN fans can't wrap their head around how good the SEC is this year. They know we are trying for a bowl game this year, but we would win 8 with their schedule. They feel like they just got beat by a mediocre team. Check the stats. We are near the tops in the nation in ypg.

I think there’s a decent chance that they’re not a good as has been typical under Fleck and we’re better than expected. That would help explain a 25 point win in a near toss up game coming on.
I think it's a lot of both of these. They just didn't look good at all. I think this year will break their 5-year bowl streak. We looked very good.

After watching these two, I'm moving to Minnesota to ripoff Medicare and open some daycare centers. Getting rich is gonna be easy. I'll use some of it for NIL
Hope you don't mind the mosquitoes and Somalis. Thanks for you sacrifice.

They will still make a bowl. Have you seen the other big 10 offenses? Minnesota defense won’t look slow in most of their remaining games. I feel like I’m at the DMV when watching Iowa play.

Maybe. But they didn't look good at all Saturday. And they have to play at Washington, Indiana and Penn St, and Wisconsin and play Michigan and Iowa at home. Not much room for any more screw ups. FPI is currently projecting them 4.3-7.7 with a 22.1% chance to win 6 games.

Minnesota is probably as good as they thought and probably will go to a bowl game it's just Miss State was better than they thought.
Based on what I saw, Minnesota's only saving grace is their crappy schedule. We'd win 8 or 9 playing their schedule. They have no running game and serious issues up front, and that's really their bread and butter. They are underslzed and slow defensively. Their QB is pretty good though. Overall, if they played our schedule, they're a 2-10 football team.

We did what we had to do against them, which is progress.
