62!

We've got a fun one for 62. No less than a special 62 yard field goal in a packed Metrodome by Chip Lohmiller to put the Gophers up over the Squawks 17-0 at half, just one week after beating Meat Chicken. November 22, 1986.


Unfortunately after a dominant first half, the Gophers would go on to lose this game in a way that characterized the UofM Metrodome experience. The game was memorable for a late-game penalty that allowed Iowa to kick a game-winning field goal after initially missing the attempt.

Had a chance to beat Michigan, Wisconsin & Iowa for the first time since 1967 (I believe) and blew it. Now that streak has 57 years…

Our first possession looked like a three & out but Rhys Lloyd scampered for the first down. Did we punt in the game? It was payback for the embarrassing loss at Toledo in 2001.
