Gophers Recover on-side kick vs Iowa October 29, 2011

Gray's 4th down TD in that same game.

Leidners quarterback sneak on the last play against Michigan October 30, 2015. Oops no video for that one.

The Boddy-Calhoun strip/fumble recovery late in the 4th quarter in Lincoln in 2014 as Nebraska was threatening to come back and win late.
We were conditioned to those sorts of things NOT happening.

Similar--, 25 seconds left in Bloomington, Indiana in 2013, with the Hoosiers likely to score to win on the last drive--- inexplicable backwards lateral/pass fumble, recovered by the Gophers to preserve the lead and win.

Both of these, late game, deep in Gopher territory, unexpected, when the tide was rolling against us, made them memorable.

That is a phenomenal onside kick. When executed that well there's basically no chance the other team recovers the ball.

I'm going with Carpenter's last second winning FG against a plucky Rutgers team on Oct. 22, 2016.

Are you still able to send a convoy and plow through the receiving team, or did the rules change now?

Boddy-Calhoun's play. A fantastic play on the road at Nebraska to seal the game for the Gophers.

When seeing this Thread Title, this was immediately what came to mind. We physically matched them punch for punch and I would argue we did the same last year albeit a different result.

Beating Nebraska at TCF then rushing the field. We somehow ended up in the student section and that was about as good as it gets.

Respectfully disagree. Wisconsin is a far more significant rival and the winner gets the Axe. That we haven't won the damn thing in a decade doesn't diminish its importance.

 

[GoldenRodents]

When we get the Axe, there will be cheers...and tears...it's been too long :*(

 

[drinks at Northpoint]

Wolitarski scoring a td with .27 remaining against Michigan on Halloween night. For about two minutes, that was as pumped up as I have been during a game.
I didn't sleep well that night after it ended.
