Minnesota Football: The Monday Perspective is frustrated

Saturday’s result against Iowa was disappointing and frustrating.

Disappointing from the standpoint that we have not defeated our hated rival to the south since 2014.

Disappointing because this was the third game in four seasons where Minnesota dominated for stretches by made more mistakes than the Hawkeyes to find a way to lose.

  • 2019 - Tanner Morgan throws for 368 yards, 170 of which goes to Tyler Johnson. The Gophers outgain Iowa by 141 yards but lose because Iowa jumped out to a 13-0 lead and the Gophers lose 23-19.
  • 2021 - Once again, Minnesota outgained Iowa by 130+ yards, this time they won the turnover battle and even had a 13-10 halftime lead.
