Frank Larson, All American end on Gopher National Champ squads of the 1930s! 3 National Titles in a row remains the all-time record and it's solely held by our Golden Gophers; 1932, 1933 and 1934!
Herb Hein, All American on Gopher National Champ teams in early 40s. Both wore #49!

48!

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

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.

46!

The Gophers have posted at least two 46-0 shutouts. The 46-0 beatdown of Iowa in 1944 helped everyone momentarily get the battle of Leyte Gulf out of their minds.

Then who could forget the 1903 46-0 laugher over Beloit College.

Then who could forget the 1903 46-0 laugher over Beloit College.

That was the third 46-0 score of 1903. They also defeated Lawrence University and Iowa State by the same margin that season. Shut out 13 of 15 opponents in the end.

Couple images for today on 46.

45!

The 2022 win over Wisconsin was the game I realized I must have way more Gopher football knowledge and insight compared to the rest of you when I reached the conclusion the Gophers were going to take a huge leap forward with the talents of Athan Kaliakmanis filling the QB role.

The Kaliakmanis/Brockington 45 yard TD late was the game’s biggest play.
