Floyd of Rosedale, 2011
Midway through 2011, Jerry Kill's first season as coach at Minnesota, the Gophers struggled so badly that the fans cheered the scoreless first quarter against Iowa. With 13:51 to play, Iowa led 21-10 and it looked as if Minnesota would fall to 1-7. But the next time Iowa took a snap, the Hawkeyes trailed 22-21 and only 2:48 remained to play. The Gophers went on an 11-play, 80-yard drive to score a touchdown, and followed it with a 12-play, 59-yard drive for another touchdown, MarQueis Gray's fourth-and-3 sprint to the right pylon. Total elapsed time of the two drives: 11:03. Gray's touchdown hurt, but the play that still gnaws at the Hawkeyes came after that first touchdown drive, when sixth-year senior safety Kim Royston recovered Jordan Wettstein's onside kick.
