per Sid:

Yes, there were some positives in this game for the Gophers. Look at how the offense performed for three quarters, compared to what it did against Iowa last weekend.

Against the Hawkeyes, the Gophers ran 27 times for 30 yards and passed for 13, a total of 165 yards of offense. Against a Michigan team that is no doubt superior to Iowa, which lost at home to Michigan State on Saturday, the Gophers ran for 136 yards and passed for 145 for a total of 281 yards.

Leidner, a surprise starter, rushed 18 times for 66 yards, singlehandedly more than double what the Gophers did at home last week. And Leidner, who doesn’t have a great reputation as a passer, completed 14 of 21 passes for 145 yards, a touchdown to Maxx Williams and one interception.
