What direction is Minnesota Golden Gophers football heading as we approach the 2024 college football season? Will PJ Fleck and his team be a factor? The Gophers replace departed quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis with an FCS quarterback. And he is backed up by two freshman. We are nervous about the Gophers passing game and we will describe why in detail.

RUNNING GOPHERS

The good news for Minnesota football is that they are loaded at running back. Three time Big Ten Freshman of the Week running back Darius Taylor is back after missing most of the second half of the season. Jordan Nubin who torched Michigan State for over 200 yards is back too! That is right! Loaded! And they have some veterans blocking up front.

Defensively, we thought Minnesota was pretty good last year with 12 interceptions and 26 sacks. And their best sack leaders are returning and ready for a big college football season.

BOAT IS SINKING

After a disappointing 6-7 college football season last year, we think a lot of wins will be hard to come by during this season. Join us as we analyze each game on the slate and come up with a win total.

Finally, we look ahead to the weekend with Big Ten Classics on the Big Ten Network right here with Craig Shemon's Locked on Big 10.
