per Neal:

The one constant at Folsom Field on Saturday was that the Golden Gopher Grinders turned the Buffaloes into mincemeat in the trenches.

Trey Potts ran at will behind his powerful Gopher linemen. The defense finally remembered what a sack is and relentlessly pursued Colorado quarterback Brendon Lewis.

Colorado's best ground gainer Saturday: Ralphie VI, the live buffalo who romped more than 100 yards around the field each time during her standard pregame and halftime appearances.

She eventually ended up back in her cage — which was a prelude to what happened to Colorado's ball carriers.

Minnesota's 30-0 victory was a validation of the belief the Gophers had in both their offensive and defensive lines — that they have the perfect combination of talent and nastiness to keep them relevant in the Big Ten West.


Go Gophers!!
 

Neal nailed it. Grind them down. Grind them!

It's FleckBall, folks.

In 2021, Gopher football returns to our maroon and gold roots. Bronko Nagurski would be proud!
 

How do you spell football history? M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A. And speaking of Nagurski...

If you can keep a defense on the field for 40 minutes of the game ... probably going to win.

By the end Colorado Defense looked entirely melted.
