Great stuff IBG and GWG! I remember thinking here we go... A real QB in Nelson....then we'll we didn't. But that win over Nebraska was a the first real surprise win of the Kill time at Minnesota.

Players gotta make plays.... hoping we get a bunch of great highlights this year and next.

It is awesome to see those old highlights. Here's another one.

 

[WorkingMyTailOff]

Thank you for sharing another GopherMartin. A college QB that is quick and that can keep the defense honest with a little bit of a passing threat is something we haven't had here since Abdul-Khaliq

#10 Paul Giel All-American - Heisman trophy runner-up. Lost by only 56 points. I found reference to Giel being called a passing back ( vs a running back) not a quarterback.

From 1953

October, 1953 - Minnesota 22-Michigan 0
