Minnesota Gophers fans have been on a roller coaster the last three seasons. After an 11-win 2019 season, the Gophers went under .500 in the pandemic-shortened 2020 before bouncing back to nine wins in 2021. With optimism back in Minneapolis and a wide-open Big Ten West, how can PJ Fleck finally get Minnesota to the Big Ten Championship Game? Locked On Golden Gophers' host Kane Rob joins Nate Dickinson on Locked On Big 10 to go over the possibilities and expectations for the Gophers.

Nate and Kane go into the biggest struggles for Minnesota last season and how to correct them. How did a nine-win team lose to both Illinois and Bowling Green, and how can Minnesota re-find the consistency it needs for 2022? The Gophers have re-hired their offensive coordinator from the 2019 run, and Kane says the defense shouldn't take a big step back despite losing key pieces to the pros. Later, Nate and Kane look at the big picture for the program to try and figure out what exactly the expectations are for this season. Locked On Big 10 -- part of the Locked On Podcast Network.
