An upset-starved Miami RedHawks team invaded Minnesota after suffering a 49-14 blowout to Cincinnati on opening weekend. Miami appeared headed for a similar trajectory, trailing the Gophers 21-3 at halftime. But the team ignited a valiant second half comeback effort and outscored the Big Ten foe, 23-10 in the final 30 minutes of clock.
The rally fell just short, however, as Minnesota escaped with a 31-26 victory. The loss ensures Miami will suffer its 18th consecutive season without a Big Ten victory. While Miami saw plenty of positives in the second half, the reality is the team is 0-2 with back-to-back losses for the first time since Weeks 2 and 3 of the 2019 season.
