A grueling non-conference schedule culminated with an exciting finish as the Gophers topped Ohio, 27-24, on homecoming. Minnesota was down four late in the game but marched 78 yards for the game-winning touchdown with under a minute remaining.
“It’s good to see us come back and win the game,” said Jerry Kill. “I told our kids in the locker room that I couldn’t be more proud.”

After Ohio kicked a field goal to go up four with just 2:36 left on the clock, it looked like a difficult road for the Gopher offense.
