Minnesota place-kicker Ryan Santoso hit an 18-yard field goal in the first overtime to give the Gophers a 23-20 come-from-behind victory Saturday over Colorado State at Hughes Stadium in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Defensive tackle Scott Ekpe's interception of a botched handoff on the first play of OT put Minnesota in position to even its record after back-and-forth final quarter of regulation.
