Three big story lines
Can the Gophers keep their streak going?
With a 25-17 victory at Illinois last week, the Gophers ran their win streak in Big Ten play to four games. It matched a four-game conference win streak they had in 2021 and is two behind the six-game Big Ten run they had in 2019, when they went 11-2 and finished No. 10 in the final polls.
