per Chip:
They found a way. That’s the only way to describe a performance that threatened to derail a promising season and cause fans to throw up their hands and walk away.
The Gophers found a way to win on a day when their defense took a hiatus for an entire half. They found a way when they were far from their best, when their mistakes piled up and the game looked like a lost cause.
Despite everything that went wrong — and there was plenty of it — the Gophers did something very un-Gophers-like.
They stayed calm. They showed resolve. They made critical plays when they absolutely needed them. They didn’t allow one bad half to snowball into an avalanche of ineptitude and frustration.
“I remember my first year,” senior safety Cedric Thompson said, “once we were down, we were like, ‘It’s over.’ But going into the half, us being down, we had no worries at all.”
