Later this season the University's football team will travel to Penn State and Michigan in back to back weeks. These teams are consistently two of the top draws in the country, so the Gophers will face approximately 210,000 fans in two weeks.

All offseason, Minnesota football made it impossible to talk about their defense without focusing attention on the new attitude they planned on having on the field this year.

Six games. At the rate it was going Saturday, that's how long it would have taken Colorado State to equal the rushing yardage total amassed by Minnesota's football team in its home opening 56-24 win over the Rams.

In week one, Minnesota's football team faced a Tulsa team that lost its quarterback early in the second quarter and ended up throwing just one completion that netted more than 20 yards.

In the movie "Multiplicity," Michael Keaton plays a man who is needed in too many places at once, so he makes clones of himself to cover his bases. Maybe Gophers coach Glen Mason has seen it recently.

Last season, much like the years preceding it, Minnesota football took a lot of criticism after a mediocre finish. And once again that criticism was deferred to the defense, forcing some changes on the coaching front.

Minnesota's football team finished last in the Big Ten and 109 out of 114 Division I-A teams in pass defense in 2004. Overall, the defense was just 76th in the country, making it obviously a sore spot of last year's team. So logically, the Gophers promoted their defensive backs coach to defensive coordinator.

Minnesota football fans remember Rhys Lloyd making the two biggest kicks of his collegiate career in 2003. Against Wisconsin with no time remaining on the clock, Lloyd's 35-yard field goal sailed through the uprights and was followed immediately by Lloyd sprinting to the Badgers' sideline, snagging Paul Bunyan's Axe.
