Rand Ball: Monday (Gophers football by the [positive] numbers) edition: Wha' Happened

[BleedGopher]

per Rand:

We said it in print today, but we'll say it again: that game Saturday against Indiana was precisely the type of game they have lost so many times in the past 15 years. It was scripted uncannily -- get everybody believing, put together a big lead (35-13 in this case), give it all back, offer one more glimmer of hope and then collapse for good.

*3: The Gophers became just the third college team since 1980 to win three consecutive games in which it was the underdog by a TD or more, per R.J. Bell at Pregame.com.

Go Gophers!!

That second nugget is interesting because a lot of us were asking if it had been done before, or how often it has happened. Obvious it is rare, and the Gophers don't get much love from the Vegas bookmakers.
