Patrick Reusse: An impressive Twin and a must-have Gophers win
Patrick Reusse joined host Michael Rand on Monday's Daily Delivery podcast to talk about the weekend in sports and to look ahead to Thursday's Gophers football opener.
Reusse and Rand also talked about the Gophers volleyball team's impressive debut over the weekend, which leads into Tuesday's showdown with No. 1 Texas.
The Gophers football team, meanwhile, is more than a touchdown favorite over Nebraska in Thursday's opener. It's a game that they pretty much need to win, Reusse said.
Plus a few words on Trey Lance and Rudy Gobert's quick international exit.
