Big game for the Gophers...HUGE. Following up the home win over Wisconsin with a road win over an improved but not as talented Iowa squad is imperative. Imperative but not absolutely necessary, if I hear anybody call this game a "must-win" (making it at least the 5th "must-win" titled game of the year), I might scream.
But this game is a big one. I think the Badger win put a smile on their faces, relieved some pressure and may get them playing with confidence again. Iowa plays pretty good defense, so I'm expecting some more offensive struggles. But that 2nd half offense was a little different and for a while was actually scoring on the Badgers, I want more of that!
Just get the win!
