Minnesota Golden Gophers Football: A New Era Begins

The Gophers are ready to take the field under new head coach P.J. Fleck

After a disappointing 5-7 season in 2020, the Minnesota Golden Gophers are looking to turn things around in 2021 under new head coach P.J. Fleck. Fleck, who led Western Michigan to a 13-1 record and a Cotton Bowl berth in 2016, is known for his high-energy, up-tempo style of play. He's also a master motivator, and he's already had a positive impact on the Gophers' players.

The Gophers have a talented roster, led by quarterback Tanner Morgan

The Gophers have a lot of talent on their roster, led by quarterback Tanner Morgan. Morgan is a redshirt junior who threw for 2,973 yards and 22 touchdowns last season. He's a dual-threat quarterback who can make plays with his arm and his legs.

In addition to Morgan, the Gophers have a number of other talented players, including running back Mohamed Ibrahim, wide receiver Rashod Bateman, and defensive end Boye Mafe. Ibrahim is one of the best running backs in the Big Ten, and Bateman is a rising star at wide receiver. Mafe is a disruptive force on the defensive line, and he's one of the best pass rushers in the conference.

The Gophers have a tough schedule, but they're confident they can compete for a Big Ten title

The Gophers have a tough schedule in 2021, but they're confident they can compete for a Big Ten title. They open the season at home against Ohio State, and they also have road games at Michigan, Iowa, and Wisconsin. But the Gophers also have a lot of home games, and they're confident they can make TCF Bank Stadium a tough place to play.

The Gophers are excited about the 2021 season, and they're confident they can make a run at the Big Ten title. With Fleck at the helm, anything is possible.
