Per Neal:
I’ll tip my cap to the Gophers, now 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the Very Big Ten. They avoided losing on consecutive weekends. As hard as Saturday’s game was, they were able to celebrate. And Lindsey, the redshirt freshman, stepped up in the fourth quarter by leading the Gophers on a 65-yard drive to tie the score with 29 seconds remaining.
Then the Gophers dialed up a naked bootleg with the ball at the 3, and told Lindsey to keep the ball. He did, and scored the winning touchdown in overtime on a play that survived an officials’ review.
“If you happened to leave,” Fleck said, “you missed a heck of a finish.”
That’s one takeaway from Saturday. Lindsey coming through in a big moment to keep his team away from an embarrassing loss.
Another takeway: There are many things the Gophers must address before heading to Oregon in two weeks. Hopefully, they have a productive bye week.

Neal: Gophers’ unimpressive victory was survival rather than a bounceback
The Gophers clearly will take it, but they have many things to work on before they head to Oregon.
