Yes, it was Stoll's first year. He ran something called a "Veer" offense that did not exactly emphasize passing. When he brought in Dungy, he made some changes

Thank you, it was fun to make. I was hoping to do an Iowa one earlier but the outcome of that game took the wind out of me.

Thank you for correcting me!

Thanks to all viewers and responders. Here are your answers. Only 3 players escaped you! 1936- Bud Wilkinson 1948- Gordy Soltau 1955-BOB SCHULTZ 1965- John Hankinson and Aaron Brown 1972- Bob Morgan 1985- Gary Couch and David Puk 1993- Jeff Rosga, RISHON EARLY and Chuck Rios 2003- Benji Kamrath...

Of course, it was 1993. Thank you for correcting me. In1994 the Gophers went to Madison and won 17-14 in another upset. That was the game in which Tutu Atwell caught a late, game-winning touchdown pass.

Sarurday's game inspired me to do a little digging into past wins over the Badgers. Maybe you can supply the names of some of the Gophers cited below who contributed in big ways is some of these victories. 1936- Minnesota 24 at Wisconsin 0 A touchdown is scored on a 45-yard pass play to a...

Don't know any personally, of course, but I have a feeling that what they have given to and taken from "the program" will serve them well, wherever they go from here.

My wife of 33 years finally got around to asking me if I loved the Gophers more than her. I hesitated and finally said, "well, I've loved the Gophers longer." Let's just say it was not the response she was hoping to hear.

I like it! Same score as Warmath's last game in 1971, in which the Gophers won on a last-second scoring pass.

I think PJ uses the bitter taste of last week's game to rouse the boys to a fierce effort. Gophers 23-13, same score as last year.

Yeah, he should not have hit him in the arm with his face.

I drove up from San Diego for the UNLV game. Very impressed with the Gopher turnout, which dwarfed the UNLV "crowd" by 10-1. A group called the Traveling Gophers made up the largest part of the Minnesota contingent. As for the game, I thought Cooper did an excellent job of getting into the lane...

Against a great team, sometimes you have to be more venturesome. Against those Purdue teams and Bowling Green he needlessly risked giving an edge to a comparable /inferior opponent.

He is better at building a program and installing a culture than he is at game day coaching. The 4th and one fiascos at the Gopher 35 yard-line (Purdue 2020 & 2022, Bowling Green 2021) and losing Autman Bell and Mo with 4-5 touchdown leads are examples. Outside of the Nebraska game, can't think...

I will be there for the UNLV game. Attendance for the Cal Baptist game was listed at 900 in a building that seats 2,500. All seats general admission. Shouldn't be hard to get a good one unless the UNLV folks show up in numbers

Thank you for answering my question!

Any news on Battle and his foot injury? These things can take forever.

Yikes! I bought a ticket for the first game on Wednesday without knowledge of how good Cal Baptist is. I just assumed the Gophers would make the "title game". When will I learn NOT to expect success after all these years? Go Gophers!

Iowa 16 Minnesota 6 Gophers need to do too many hard things right. Risk of beating themselves too high.

Not at all sure the venue would have mattered much. Yes, at Memorial Stadium, the Gophers had many very good and often great teams from the late 1920s through the late 1960s but the building didn't make them successful. They had terrific players who were often led by great head coaches. Then...
