Reviewing the 2019 Minnesota Golden Gophers

Nebraska will be facing the undefeated Minnesota Golden Gophers this Saturday night...but if not for some fourth quarter magic, the Gophers just as easily have a losing record in 2019. In the season opener, Minnesota trailed Division 1-AA South Dakota State until Mohammed Ibrahim’s touchdown run with under six minutes left in the game. The Jackrabbits outgained the Gophers 367-308 and had six more first downs that Minnesota. A week later against Fresno State, the Gophers tied the game with a 20 yard touchdown pass from Tanner Morgan to Chris Autman-Bell on 4th and 13 with 46 seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime, with the Gophers hanging on for a 38-35 double-overtime victory.
