The Minnesota Golden Gophers made quite a statement in East Lansing on Saturday, dominating the Michigan State Spartans from start to finish in a 34-7 rout.
Against a vulnerable Spartans secondary but without his leading receiver Chris Autman-Bell, Gopher quarterback Tanner Morgan was elite, going 23-of-26 for 268 passing yards and three touchdowns. Amid questions about how Minnesota would replace Autman-Bell’s production, Morgan completed passes to 10 different players in the game.
Morgan led a 10-play, 75-yard scoring drive on the Gophers’ opening possession of the game, connecting with four different receivers for four completions of 10+ yards.
