HARD TIMES VS. FCS TEAMS
New Hampshire, the Gophers' opponent Saturday, plays in the Football Championship Subdivision of Division I. That's a level below the Bowl Championship Subdivision, which the Gophers play in. But since 2006, Minnesota has played one FCS opponent every season -- and has often struggled. Here are those outcomes:
Year Opponent Result
2006 North Dakota State W, 10-9
2007 North Dakota State L, 27-21
2008 Montana State W, 35-23
2009 South Dakota State W, 16-13
2010 South Dakota L, 41-38
2011 North Dakota State L, 37-24
