MN Daily: Loss to TCU helps Gophers prep for OSU

[BleedGopher]

per the Daily:

The Gophers looked helpless when they lost to TCU 30-7 in September.

David Cobb rushed for only 41 yards, Mitch Leidner threw three interceptions and cornerback Jalen Myrick couldn’t stop high-flying TCU receiver Josh Doctson.

The Gophers will face a similar team Saturday, when No. 8 Ohio State comes to Minneapolis with athletic receivers and one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the country.

But behind a much-improved offensive line, Leidner has thrown deep balls with ease in Minnesota’s past few games and Cobb has emerged as one of the nation’s top running backs.

The irony and story-line behind all of this is really something. How the Minnesota Gophers can impact the national championship landscape, the underlying implications for TCU and tOSU and the B1G, the possibility of a Gopher season the likes of which we haven't seen in 40 or 50 years, it's certainly interesting to say the least. It'll either be a story we're talking about for years to come or......not. Either way, this has been a great season so far, very entertaining and exciting. Let's hope the ball bounces our way the next three games and we end up making even greater strides as a program and enticing young athletes all over the country to consider the University of Minnesota and the Golden Gophers as their school/team of choice. Go Gophers!
