Minnesota Football vs. New Mexico State: The Elite, The Meh & The Ugly

The Minnesota Golden Gophers (1-0) took care of business Thursday night, dominating the New Mexico State Aggies (0-2) from start to finish in a 38-0 season-opening win.

Welcome back, Mohamed Ibrahim. Returning from a ruptured Achilles tendon is no small task, but Mohamed Ibrahim looked a lot like his old self Thursday night as he rushed for 132 yards and two touchdowns. It was a vintage Ibrahim performance that saw him patiently reading his blocks, bursting through the narrowest of holes, and staying on his feet as he ran through tacklers.
