What happened
The Gophers not only lost all five road games last season, they were outclassed in three of those four conference defeats. In their 2026 Big Ten opener Saturday, Minnesota never trailed Washington in a 27-24 win at Husky Stadium. The Gophers were a 10-point road underdog and led start to finish, but the Huskies made it interesting in the fourth quarter.
