The Golden Gophers did something they haven't done, since 1967.
The Gophers were also able to beat Michigan and Iowa in the same season, (30-14) and (51-14) respectively, something the team has not done since 1967.
Pro-Minnesota site comments, about the wins over two trophy rivals. They seek to repeat in 2015?
Signature conference wins like these do wonders for a program, especially when you consider the influence it will have on recruiting. Moreover, Minnesota Football cracked the NCAA top 25 for the first time in quite a while, further demonstrating the progress that Jerry Kill and company have made with the team.
Does Jerry Kill maintain things in Year 5? The former Southern and Northern Illinois head coach has a veteran staff.
IOWA beat Missouri in 2010 season in the BBW/Insight Bowl.
Minnesota clinched a berth in the Citrus Bowl last year as well, but was defeated by the Missouri Tigers (33-17).
The Pro-Minnesota site had this to say about the Golden Gophers bowl woes:
Post-season play has really become a problem for the Golden Gophers of late; they’ve lost their last seven bowl appearances. The ability to win bowl games is one of the main indicators of a successful team, therefore, for Minnesota to take that next step, they first need to learn to win in the post-season. With Jerry Kill at the helm, it shouldn’t be long before the Gophers deliver on that notion.
Many key seniors have departed after the successful 2014 season for Kill & Company. Iowa hosts Minnesota in a BTN prime-time game in Game 10.
