per Chip:
Freshman quarterback Tanner Morgan saved his team’s bacon with a 67-yard touchdown strike to fellow freshman Rashod Bateman with 1 minute, 34 seconds left for the winning score.
The Gophers led 31-9 entering the fourth quarter and looked in total control until they started playing giveaway with the football. One fumble, then another, then an interception.
Suddenly, it felt like 2003 all over again as Indiana pounced on their mistakes by scoring touchdowns.
The circumstances obviously were different this time because Indiana certainly isn’t Michigan, and the 2003 Gophers were a Top 20 team with ambition. But in terms of fourth-quarter calamity, we’d seen this movie before.
“What a game,” P.J. Fleck said.
Once he exhales, Fleck faces an interesting dilemma at quarterback. Which freshman does he choose if both are healthy: Morgan or Zack Annexstad?
My vote: Stick with the hot hand.
