Gophers’ Loss Shifts Season Outlook | Minnesota Golden Gophers Football News

Minnesota’s brutal 38-13 loss to Mississippi State sends shockwaves through the Gophers’ season outlook, but it’s not all bad. With top talent still on the roster—including a rising QB and potential first-round picks—the team has firepower, but pressure mounts fast. A shaky running back corps, with key players sidelined, threatens their ability to run the ball consistently. Their non-conference win over Akron is a nice start, but the real test begins at Washington, followed by must-win clashes against Michigan, Purdue, and Iowa. If they can’t rebound quickly, this could be the first season since 2020 they miss a bowl game—making every next game a make-or-break moment.
