Without any preseason contests, the Gophers took the field for the first time in real game action. Despite a myriad of miscues, injuries, and ejections, Minnesota battled to a 30-23 victory over the Oregon State Beavers. There’s plenty to improve upon, but an opening week win helps in a longer preparation for the Gophers’ next game on September 10.
4 True freshmen saw playing time for the Gophers. Antoine Winfield Jr., Tyler Johnson, Kamal Martin, and Tai’yon Devers all saw the field against the Beavers.
100 Percent of the time Devers sacks the quarterback, he forces a fumble.
