Team Reports
Kansas: The Jayhawks finished 4-4 in the Big 12 North. Just one defeat was administered by a division rival (Nebraska), but the tougher three-game crossover against South powers Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech proved too difficult. More

Well I can't say that I expected much else. Gophers looked awful the last four games of the regular season. Against Kansas we weren't a whole lot better. The defense, which started the season so great, fell apart at the end and looked like the NCAA worst defense of last season. Post your thoughts!
"Minnesota has made huge strides in their second season under Tim Brewster. They are making outstanding progress and will be a formidable bowl opponent."
