Minnesota Football: TDG Staff Predictions - 2024 Season
Big Ten West Outlook
The Minnesota Golden Gophers are poised to make a run at the Big Ten West title in 2024. Despite losing some key players to the NFL Draft, the Gophers return a talented core of players led by quarterback Tanner Morgan and running back Mohamed Ibrahim.
The Gophers' biggest competition in the West will likely come from the Wisconsin Badgers and the Iowa Hawkeyes. Wisconsin is coming off a disappointing season in 2023, but they have a lot of talent returning. Iowa is always a tough opponent, and they will be looking to bounce back from a down year in 2023.
TDG Staff Predictions
The TDG staff is predicting that the Gophers will finish 8-4 in 2024 and win the Big Ten West title. Here is a breakdown of our predictions:
- Overall record: 8-4
- Big Ten West record: 5-3
- Bowl game: Outback Bowl
We believe that the Gophers have the talent and experience to win the West in 2024. Morgan is one of the best quarterbacks in the Big Ten, and Ibrahim is one of the best running backs in the country. The Gophers also have a strong defense, led by linebacker Mariano Sori-Marin.
Of course, there are some challenges that the Gophers will need to overcome in 2024. They will need to stay healthy, and they will need to improve their passing game. But if they can do those things, we believe that they have a chance to be a special team.
