Re-watching the whole game on TV, it is hard to believe that the Gophers gave the Huskers a physical beating.
Whatever the Gophers coaches did between the non-con close calls and the build up into the Big Ten - Purdue and Illinois, there is something magical arriving at the Nebraska game.
They overcame the adversity of losing four games in a row and a total of six games last season. All the while, they were learning as a team in defeat. "Failures is growth!"
Let's hope the magic continues. They may lose some games in the second half, but man this is a special season especially for the Seniors on the team. Kudos to Tyler Johnson, Shannon Brooks, and Rodney Smith for sticking it out an extra year to help the team. That is selfless leadership.
