Coach: Glen Mason (9th year at Minnesota)

2004 Record: 7-5
2004 Big 10 Conference Record 3-5
2004 ATS Record: 6-5
Returning Starters: 9

Five of the last 6 years Minnesota has been to a bowl game, regrettably for Golden Gopher fans it looks like that trend won’t continue in 2005. If they wish to prove us wrong the defense will have to vastly improve. No question the offense is good as they have the best running back in the conference in Laurence Maroney, but a tough schedule that includes playing the top 7 rated schools in the Big 10 conference will sooner or later take its toll on the Gophers.
