On Saturday night, quarterback Mitch Leidner was stopped inches short of retaining the Little Brown Jug and cementing what would have been one of Minnesota’s biggest victories in recent memory.
Leidner attempted a sneak with 2 seconds remaining but was stood up by Michigan’s defense, and the Golden Gophers lost 29-26.
Leidner, a fourth-year junior, didn’t question the play call. He just thought he should have made it.
