Saturday afternoon was a final tune-up for the Gophers football team before conference play begins next week in Maryland.
Minnesota used three touchdowns from wide receiver Tyler Johnson and another strong defensive performance to run past the Miami (OH) Redhawks for a 26-3 win.
The Gophers will enter Big Ten play 3-0 for the second straight season. Now, the real question is how the young team will respond when the competition bar is raised in the Big Ten.
Tyler Johnson has a big day
On the first drive of the game, quarterback Zack Annexstad was sacked for a loss of 13 yards.
