After trailing 17-0 to the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the Beavers responded with a 15 play 80 yd. TD drive, which included an unorthodox end around, swinging-gate, fake punt play on 4th and 6 on the Minnesota 28 yd. line. The play had Punter Nick Porebski hand off to WR Timmy Hernandez on an end around. Minnesota sniffed it out by putting pressure on Hernandez, and Hernandez out of desperation, threw to TE Tuli-Wili Matagi for 17 yds. and a first down. Matagi slipped and miraculously caught the ball as he slid on the rain soaked turf. The Beavers finished the 80 yd.
