‘I will always believe in him’​

The Gophers had a chance for a walk-off win to start the season for the second straight year. But this time, Dragan Kesich didn’t make the kick. He beat Nebraska last year, but his kick from 47 yards out Thursday as time expired drifted wide right. In the first quarter, he also missed a 27-yard chip shot off the right upright. Kesich is the reigning Big Ten Kicker of the Year, and is likely headed to the NFL next season.

"I thought he hit the first one incredibly clean. That thing almost went over the near upright. I have 100 percent confidence in Dragan. I’ve always believed in him and I always will believe in him," Fleck said. "I think he’s one of the best kickers in the country. Unfortunately it came at some really tough times for us. He was devastated after the game. It wasn’t that kick that lost us the game."


Go Gophers!!
