Athlon: Minnesota Spring Preview
The Minnesota Golden Gophers wrapped up the 2021 campaign with a 9-4 record, which included an 18-6 win over West Virginia in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl. It was a relatively successful season for head coach P.J. Fleck and his staff, and all signs point to continued improvement in 2022.
Veteran leadership at quarterback combined with plenty of key experience up and down the roster have fans in the Twin Cities excited for what this Gopher team could do in the upcoming season. Fleck will use the spring session to fine-tune what looks like what could be one of the more formidable squads in the Big Ten West.

QuoteHuskerOnline: Minnesota 2022 Spring Preview
"I'd probably put the over/under of wins maybe in the 8.5 range. I think they're going to do well this year. They have a lot of experience back on both sides of the ball.
"I talked a lot about the guys they're missing up front on both sides of the ball, but there are a lot of skill guys back, and I think that's going to bode well for them. I think their safety duo of Tyler Nubin and Jordan Howden is probably going to be one of the best in the Big Ten.
"They've got some guys on the edge and a lot of skill guys back. We didn't even mention Mo Ibrahim, who was the Big Ten Running Back of the Year in 2020. He's back this year.
"So I would say that 8-9 range. I think it's really going to come down to the rivalry games for the Gophers. P.J. has beaten the Badgers and gotten the Axe two of the last four years, but he has never beaten the Hawkeyes.
"That one really sticks with staff, with the state, with the players, with everybody, that they're 0-5 against the Hawkeyes. That was obviously a big reason why they didn't go to Indy last year.
"So if they're able to split those games again, I think they'll be right in the mix and maybe have a shot to go to Indy again."

Okay, Minnesota. We’re done with losing to the Bowling Greens of the world, right? Under PJ Fleck, the Gophers occasionally have this annoying habit of needing to work way too hard against mediocre non-conference teams. In the past they were able to win them all even when a a South Dakota State – not mediocre, just FCS – or a Fresno State or a Buffalo made things interesting. The Bowling Green loss shook that. So assuming the Gophers got the yips out of their system, the first part of the schedule works perfectly. They need time to gear back up and find the right groove among all the new defensive players and on the line, and that’s what New Mexico State and Western Illinois are for. There’s no Ohio State to start the season like this year or Michigan to kickoff 2020. That should be enough scrimmage time to handle a Colorado team that has to come to Minneapolis, and then it’s on with a trip to Michigan State to start the Big Ten season.
Minnesota should be 3-0, and it should be able to take care of Northwestern and Rutgers in Huntington Bank. Purdue, at Illinois, at Nebraska – get two wins in that group and everything is great, but it’ll more likely be one. At Michigan State, at Penn State, at Wisconsin – all three of those lean heavily to the loss column, and as mentioned before, beating Iowa for this program is a problem. There’s no Ohio State or Michigan to face, but there will be loss Minnesota shouldn’t take – look out for Rutgers; really – and two wins it probably will end up stealing – at Nebraska? at Michigan State? Seven wins has to be a given at this point for the Gophers under Fleck. Eight would be good, nine would be fantastic.

"It's a kind of a rebuilding year for them, a transition year. So I think a bowl game is always your goal, getting to the six wins, but I think that's going to be difficult for them.
"With losing all the seniors and a new offensive coordinator, realistically they're probably looking at a five-win season. I haven't really taken a deep dive into the schedule yet to figure out which ones are going to win and lose, but they don't look like a bowl team right now."

Illinois might have gone 5-7, but four of the losses were close and could’ve easily have gone the other way. Yes, the weird overtime win over Penn State could’ve easily been a loss, but …The team should be able to get that one extra win to finally turn the program into a winner again. This isn’t going to be one of those teams that rises up and pulls off something crazy like a run to the Big Ten Championship, and there will be a few moments when it just doesn’t have the horses to keep up, but it’s going to be tough on the lines and will be a tough out each and every game. And why? The offense will score a little bit more.
SET THE ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI REGULAR SEASON WIN TOTAL AT … 5.5
There can’t be any misfires. UTSA was fantastic last season, but to go full snob, that’s a Conference USA team that won on a Big Ten’s home floor. That should’ve been an Illinois win, and the same goes with the loss to Rutgers. This year, Illinois has to beat Wyoming and Chattanooga. That’s two, and there aren’t any other obvious wins with the dates against Indiana, Nebraska, and Northwestern on the road. But it’ll be close. The Illini will pull off an upset or three and be at five wins in November. It’ll have its chances to get that sixth victory and a bowl appearance.

Illinois Top 10 Players | Illinois Schedule & AnalysisQuoteThe Athletic: Illinois football has a few big wins, more big holes to build on in Bret Bielema’s Year 2
Bret Bielema’s first season as Illinois football coach ended in a strange place when it came to defining success.
Bielema certainly can understand and appreciate why some Illini supporters offered him congratulations for the team’s accomplishments. After all, Illinois toppled two nationally ranked programs on the road for the first time in 20 years, gritting out an NCAA record nine-overtime 20-18 victory against No. 7 Penn State and then stifling No. 20 Minnesota defensively with six sacks and two interceptions in a 14-6 win. The Illini then closed the season by hammering in-state foe Northwestern 47-14 to snap a six-game losing streak in the series.
Yet Illinois finished 5-7 overall and did not participate in a bowl game. The Illini suffered a pair of humbling losses to Virginia and Wisconsin, a 10-point setback to Iowa and four single-digit defeats — to UTSA, Maryland, Purdue and Rutgers — that Bielema looks back on by pointing out how close his team was to winning.
So yeah, Illinois made strides a year after a forgettable 2-6 campaign led to a coaching change. But that doesn’t mean Bielema is anywhere close to satisfied with where things stand.

QuoteAthlon: #67 Illinois Preview And Prediction
Just before the start of spring practice, second-year Illinois head coach Bret Bielema decided to take his young daughters Briella and Brexli to Disney World for the first time. "I know I can handle 120 young men on a field for two hours. I don't know if I can handle a 4- and 2-year-old in a theme park for a day," Bielema said. He was happy with the experience. "It was 12 hours of nonstop fun," Bielema said. "Those are moments you can take with you." The trip was a piece of cake compared to what Bielema is attempting to pull off in Champaign-Urbana. His 5–7 debut was the school's 10th consecutive losing season.

HuskerOnline: Oklahoma 2022 Spring Preview
"It's funny because when you're listening nationally, everyone thinks OU is in shambles and when you're in the OU bubble, you actually feel like the program is in a better situation than it was 12 months ago, but does that mean the product on the field is actually better?
"It feels like in the long run, OU is getting more equipped for the move to the SEC. It's feeling better in terms of its facilities, in terms of its personnel and it's getting all of its ducks in a row, as it's about to make that move. But what does that mean for 2022? And that's a legitimate question.
"When you look at the way OU has played in recent years, there's always that game or two, that makes zero sense, where OU has a hiccup and you don't understand it. Can Venables bring out the consistency with every single game, with every single week? It's something he preaches, every little thing matters. That's been sort of his mantra ever since he's taken over is like, "you can't forget about the little things because they all add up to the big things." So we're going to find that out.
"I think, OU is going to be in a very good position. I can't see why OU wouldn't win the Big 12. And if they don't, I would actually see it as a pretty big, not indictment, but a massive disappointment for Venables and for all the fans."

Oklahoma's winter spun into turmoil. Then torment. And finally … transition. Could triumph be next? Maybe. Maybe not. Honestly, what's next is anybody's guess, amid a complete makeover of staff and roster. Sure, there are still plenty of brave faces around Norman after Lincoln Riley bolted the Sooners for USC, leaving fans feeling jilted and in denial over a coach leaving them, voluntarily, for the first time since Chuck Fairbanks jumped to the NFL in 1973. Players hit the exits, too, including star quarterback Caleb Williams, joining Riley with the Trojans no less, one of eight transfers becoming ex-Sooners among 14 total starters lost. Oklahoma leaned into its past, bringing back former coordinator Brent Venables for his long-awaited first go as a head coach. The Sooners tapped into the transfer portal, too, adding 10 players. There's reason for optimism. And pessimism. Which one will prevail?

It’s just about the same sort of situation as it was last year in the Big 12. The expansion hasn’t kicked in yet, everyone appears to be improved/hopeful/better, Baylor and Oklahoma State are dangerous, and Texas is once again going to be “back.” The Big 12 isn’t going anywhere yet. It’s still there for the taking. Here’s the thing to remember about how everything went down last year in what might have seemed like a major disappointment – even though 11-2 with an Alamo Bowl win is hardly anything to blow off … Oklahoma – as flawed as it might have been – was way close to being in the College Football Playoff. It struggled and sputtered throughout the season and yet it was still a tough loss to Oklahoma State and an impressive regular-season-loss-avenging-win performance over Baylor in the Big 12 Championship from probably booting out Cincinnati. Oh sure, it would’ve been a total annihilation against Alabama in the CFP, but at the very least the Sooners weren’t that far away. Now, for the future under Brent Venables, there has to be a distinction between making the College Football Playoff and actually being one of the four best teams in the thing, but for now … Yeah, win the Big 12, get to the CFP, and don’t worry about what happens from there.

Athlon: Northwestern 2022 Schedule Analysis
After posting one of the best seasons in program history in 2020, the Northwestern Wildcats had high expectations heading into last season. But the talent losses from the previous year, combined with injuries, a lack of depth at some positions, and inconsistency across the board, gave NU its first losing campaign since 2019. However, after picking up some new recruits and adjusting some key positions this offseason, Pat Fitzgerald hopes to lead his team back to a bowl game.
There are also some familiar faces returning such as quarterback Ryan Hilinski, running back Evan Hull, wide receiver Malik Washington, linebacker Bryce Gallagher, and defensive back A.J. Hampton Jr. The Wildcats will have a strong balance of both youth and experience on this year's roster.
In order to go bowling again, however, the "Cardiac Cats" will have to go through another grueling Big Ten schedule and a non-conference slate full of trap games. Here is the road that the Wildcats will need to take in order to be bowl eligible once again.
https://athlonsports.com/college-football/northwestern-football-wildcats-2022-schedule-analysis
QuoteHuskerOnline: Northwestern 2022 Preview
“So Northwestern is coming off a 3-9 season, and they did this a couple years ago. In 2018 they won the Big Ten West. In 2019 they went 3-9. Then in 2020, they won the West, and in ’21, they went 3-9. So they’re on a bit of a rollercoaster.
"Looking back on that 2019 team, almost all of the problems could be traced to the quarterback. They had absolutely awful play at that position, and it really hurt them. Where last year, there were problems on both sides of the ball. They scored 16.6 points per game and their defense got shredded an awful lot.
"So they’ve got a lot of problems to address. I think if they can get to 6-6 and make a bowl game, this season would be considered a success and get things back on track for Fitz.
"I don’t think they’re going to be a whole lot better than that, and there’s potential they could be a couple games worse than that. Northwestern typically wins a game they shouldn’t and loses a game they shouldn’t every season, so I think they should be somewhere around .500 for the year.”

QuoteCollegeFootballNews: Northwestern 2022 Preview & Prediction
Almost everything has to be perfect for Northwestern to be great. It has to win the turnover battle, control the clock, keep games close and relatively low scoring and … The rest of the Big Ten has to be bad. Getting annihilated by Nebraska and Illinois last year wasn’t okay, but unlike 2020 when so many teams were down, Northwestern’s style didn’t take over partly because Michigan State, Wisconsin, Purdue, and Iowa were better than the previous versions. Even so, last year’s team should’ve been it. It was full of upperclassmen, extra year seniors, and had more than enough depth to come up with a few options, and it all fell flat. That doesn’t mean Northwestern under Pat Fitzgerald can’t go Northwestern under Pat Fitzgerald and pull out something special out of nowhere. Duke, Southern Illinois, Miami University. Over the years – even in big seasons – Northwestern will occasionally gack away an easy home game, but those should be three wins in the bank.
If this is going to be any sort of a bounce-back season, beating Illinois at home is a must, and there has to be a crazy victory somewhere in there – like Wisconsin doing what it normally does in Evanston and turn the ball over 14 times. No, it won’t be a third trip to the Big Ten Championship in five years, and it’s going to take a slew of crazy things just to go bowling, but crazy things when no one is expecting them – for good and for bad – is what this program does.

Northwestern Top 10 Players | Northwestern Schedule & AnalysisQuoteThe Athletic: Up-and-down Northwestern improving, but Dublin opener could be indicator of season ahead
Pat Fitzgerald was a rugby guy all along. He just didn’t know it. Fitzgerald and his wife, Stacy, were in Dublin for three days in February and got to see Ireland take on Wales at Aviva Stadium in the opening match of the men’s Six Nations Championship, the annual European rugby competition. The stadium environment was electric. The downtown energy was incredible. The home team dominated. It was a picture-perfect image of how Fitzgerald — an old Big Ten linebacker if there ever were one, neckroll and all — hopes to open his 17th season as Northwestern’s head coach. The Wildcats play Nebraska inside that same Irish venue Aug. 27, as part of the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. If the past four seasons of Northwestern football serve as any indication, the opener — and the performance against the Cornhuskers — will determine exactly what kind of season the Cats will have.

Is Nebraska closer to a breakthrough or breakdown? In Scott Frost’s fifth season, a lot is on the line
The red flags around Nebraska rose early this year.
Not the traditional symbol adorned with that big red “N,” raised high to wave from all corners of this state.
No, these flags are warning signs. For the thousands who pledge steady support to the Huskers, the red flags are there, undoubtedly. They never actually receded after last season, a fifth consecutive year for Nebraska that finished in strikingly sad fashion.
Warning signs of what 2022 might deliver for a fragile football program were at the ready from the first days of this offseason. And that, for Nebraska, represents something new.
It’s all moving fast now for Scott Frost, who’s 15-29 in Lincoln entering his fifth season. Patience is thin. The moment is near for Nebraska to turn a corner or to turn its back on the coach and ex-
quarterback who helped bring the Huskers their most recent of five national championships, a quarter-century ago.
Even as the 47-year-old Frost tries to buy time, offering reasonable explanations that his revamped offensive staff and transfer-tinted roster remain in the early stages of an overhaul, the mood around him has shifted toward something dark.

2021 Game 9 “Expert” Picks: Purdue @ Nebraska (-7)
—————
Why Purdue Will Win
It’s partly because QB Adrian Martinez tries to make a whole lot of plays and gets caught in the backfield, but Nebraska is giving up a whole lot of negative plays – allowing over five tackles for loss and close to three sacks per game – and Purdue has the defensive front to take advantage of it. DE George Karlaftis is on a pressure roll for a defense that’s come up with seven or more tackles for loss in six of the last seven games. That’s the catalyst for a D that’s second in the Big Ten behind Wisconsin, it’s not giving up a whole lot of big plays through the air, and it should be able to hold its own against a Nebraska offense that doesn’t win when it doesn’t get more than 160 yards. The Huskers are 3-0 when running for 220 yards or more, and it only ran for 160 or fewer when it came up with 160 or fewer. But …
Why Nebraska Will Win
Purdue just got blasted by the Wisconsin running game for 290 yards. Now, the team is 4-0 when allowing fewer than 120 rushing yards, and 0-3 when allowing more. Nebraska has hit the 120-yard mark on the ground in every game but the loss to Oklahoma. The Husker defense has been fine, even though it allowed 62 total points in the last two games. Purdue doesn’t/can’t run, and it needs to be steady with the passing game against a Nebraska secondary that gives up yards, but isn’t getting torched often enough to matter. Purdue hasn’t faced a whole slew of dynamic offensive playmakers. Notre Dame? Wisconsin? Oregon State? Minnesota? It dealt with plenty of steady and solid offensive guys, but it hasn’t had to deal with anyone like Martinez.
What’s Going To Happen
Nebraska got to take a deep breath. The lost to Michigan was devastating, and the loss at Minnesota might have been a deathblow to the season. With two weeks off, though, it should be the much fresher team against a Purdue bunch that had the physical loss to the Gophers, the emotional fight at Iowa, and the brutal beating to Wisconsin. It’s Nebraska – there will be a few big mistakes to make this interesting – but Martinez and the offense will come through with the offensive pop that Purdue won’t.

2021 Game 8 “Expert” Picks: Nebraska (-3) @ Minnesota
—————
Why Nebraska Will Win
Now what do the Gophers do? Mohamed Ibrahim was one of the Big Ten’s best backs, but he went down in the Ohio State game with an Achilles tendon injury. In came Trey Potts, he ran for 552 yards and six touchdowns in five games, and now he’s out for the year. Minnesota doesn’t have the passing game to make up the running game if the freshman backs aren’t able to fill the void, and it doesn’t have the explosion to keep up if and when the Huskers start hitting the home runs with the passing game and when QB Adrian Martinez gets free in the second left. The offense is working, and the team has been really, really close to a wonderful season, but …
Why Nebraska Will Win
Forgive the complete lack of substantive research and analysis on this, but … Nebraska just doesn’t seem to know how to win when it has the chance. You could see it on head coach Scott Frost’s face right as the Michigan game was ending. His team had the monster W right there for the taking, and once again, it couldn’t get it done. It’s good enough to roll in a few blowouts here and there, but it screwed up just enough to matter against Illinois. It couldn’t quite rise up when the chances were there against Oklahoma, the Michigan State game came down to who blinked first late, and it was all there for the taking against Michigan, and … Loss, loss, loss, loss. There are a whole lot of strong parts to the improving Huskers, but the special teams are just okay – to be kind – the O doesn’t move well enough when Martinez isn’t doing something amazing, and there isn’t enough of a pass rush to get through the giant Minnesota offensive front. However …
What’s Going To Happen
YOU try to guess which Minnesota team shows up. Is it the one that fought through its worst day of the season running the ball to beat Purdue, or is it the one that didn’t get off the bus in a stunning loss to Bowling Green, or is it the one that totally stoned Colorado on the road? The Gopher defensive stats are great, but it also helps that there weren’t any teams on the slate after Ohio State that could run the ball. There won’t be anything spectacular about it, but Nebraska will come up with a very good, very measured, and very business-like performance. It will get two big pass plays to open things up a bit, the run defense will be just fine, and the season that desperately needs a win at this point to keep bowl hopes alive will march on. Nebraska will have the chance in a close game, and finally, it will win.

I think that says a ton about what we did Saturday night and where the experts think we're at. To me, Michigan is a better team than a lot of people think - but the obvious thing that casts a doubt is how they only put up 20 points against Rutgers.
If we win, I really believe it'll be because our defense does what it did against Michigan State.
It started at -1, then was up to -3 at some places. I normally just grab it from whatever preview I start with first.
