The Gophers only won one game last season and if they want to be a feared team for the Big 10, they must make a review for the next couple of years.
With a year under Brewster's spread offense, Weber and the passing game should continue to make some difference, but Minnesota's running attack needs to improve and the defense has got to step up as well.
The Gophers should be able to catch on a few more wins, but in all prospect, this program is looking forward 2009-2010, when the new stadium opens and the young recruits have had a chance to mature.
