The Minnesota Golden Gophers’ spring football game at the Larson Football Performance Center on Saturday came down to a two-point conversion contest, with running back Zach Evans scoring the game-winning two-point play as the Gold team prevailed, 36-34, over the Maroon team.
Evans and his fellow Gold team members wide receiver Le’Meke Brockington and safety Tyler Nubin were named the Sid Hartman Spring Game MVPs.
The tone of the game was set from the first play, which saw left tackle Aireontae Ersery take the hand-off from Athan Kaliakmanis and rush for five yards. The next drive, Gold took the early lead on a 53-yard touchdown pass from Cole Kramer to Tyler Nubin, who made the most of his rare opportunity to contribute on the offensive side of the ball.
