Levine is a Golden Gopher

All good points, but I do not agree that the Gophers would have/could have, beat Ohio State that night....I felt like the Buckeye's were toying with us for the entie first half. When they got serious, they had their way with us. To much talent for The OSU.

Maybe, but those same players quit on Horton in the Ohio State game. It was Horton's stubborn determination to keep trying to pound the ball and keep Gray out of the QB spot against Penn State and in the first half against Michigan State that cost the Gophers a chance to win those two games too. No, cost them two wins period.

It was only when he starting to back-off those "principals" in the second half against MSU that they players started to really show what they could do on offense. Heck they were just allowed to do what they had done best all year. That led to the season ending victories.

Horton was the anti-Brewster personality wise and he beat Iowa. Great guy, but maybe he was as bull headed as Brewster. What I firmly believe is if he would have been a little less stubborn they would have won their last four not just their last two. So while the players certainly look like they quit on Brewster maybe Horton didn't reign them in as much as finally let them go.

I agree completely. That's why I only referred to the Penn State and MSU games. It still looked like, once that started to happen though, the Gophers quit. Making that same point in the locker room after the game got a Gopher Co-Captain suspended.
