Minnesota Football suffers an ugly 26-19 loss to Rutgers

This seems to be a recurring theme with Coach Fleck's Gophers; losing winnable games by not playing with an intensity to take down an opponent they are clearly better than. We have to win the games we should while having a 50-50 chance against the better teams in the Conference. I cannot figure out what the hell we are missing to continue to lose games we shouldn't. I'll hang up and listen because I love the conversation with all of you.

Fleck is connected to Rutgers closely. How bad did Fleck really want to win. We are bowl eligible. Rutgers played with more urgency because they were desperate for a victory or their bowl opportunities would be over.

Fleck is building our guys into good guys. To win at a high level you need good guys to play like a savages and will slit your throat on the field even if we are friends off the field. I think Fleck was ok losing to Rutgers to be honest. Our team didn’t play with any urgency in my opinion.
 
I have resigned myself to thinking we are at best a very average team this season. The Rutgers loss was unfortunate but not surprising. What will we do vs PSU and Wisconsin to dispel the notion we are average/mediocre?
