We're at 48!

For today, Nick Tow-Arnett




Here are some highlights with TD catches in 2009

48!

For 48 we get a reminder of what might have been had Phillip Nelson’s Gopher career hadn’t become complicated (and short).

For 48 we get a reminder of what might have been had Phillip Nelson’s Gopher career hadn’t become complicated (and short).

That was a fun opener. The whole game was full of big plays.

• Nelson's 48 yard touchdown run
• Marcus Jones 98 yard kick return touchdown to start the second half
• A 51 yard return by Martez Shabazz after Ra'Shede Hageman blocked a field goal
• An 89 yard interception return touchdown by Briean Boddy-Calhoun

 

[Schnauzer]

47!

One of the best semi-recent developments in Gopher football has been the ongoing win streak over Nebraska (5, and hopefully further growing). Some of these wins have been blow outs. Others involve come from behind heroics and walk off 47 yard field goal.

#47 was worn by DB Greg Engebos in the 70s; a solid performer! Wisconsin native.
