Minnesota Football: Minnesota in total control defeats New Mexico State 38-0

Mohamed Ibrahim ran for his 10th consecutive 100-yard game and the former Big Ten Running Back of the Year carried the Minnesota Gophers to a dominating XX-XX win over New Mexico State. After missing all by 3 quarters of the 2021 season, Ibrahim rushed for 132 yards and 2 touchdowns tonight, carrying the Gophers to a win to start the 2022 season.

Minnesota did exactly what they were supposed to do against one of the weaker teams in the FCS. They scored on all four of their possession in the first half, allowed NMSU just 2 first downs, gave up only 49 yards of offense and forced 4 punts, and ended the half up 24-0.
