37!

One of the more frustrating losing streaks in Gopher history finally came to an end in 2018 when the Gophers went on the road and made themselves bowl eligible by beating Wisconsin 37-15 in a game that wasn't as close as the score indicated.

That game meant a lot. Winning the Axe for the first time in 15 years was the headline but the game also served notice that Minnesota was a rising program under new coach Fleck and with lots of puzzle pieces returning for 2019 - it was a time of guarded optimism that would turn to elation when that 2019 season did finally play out.

The punt return was fantastic.
