per Sid:
The Gophers football team rallied to make it a game at Ohio State, scoring twice in the fourth quarter in a 28-14 loss. It also put together a tremendous defensive effort for the first 20 minutes as the score remained 0-0 late into the half.
If the Gophers can maintain those kind of performances there is hope they can win their final three games and reach a bowl game for the fourth consecutive season.
The Gophers had pulled within seven points and had Ohio State facing third-and-9 from the Gophers 38-yard line with 2 minutes to go, but they couldn’t get a key stop as Cardale Jones scored a touchdown for the final margin.
Still, all of the negative media stories about quarterback Mitch Leidner have been proven wrong with the performance he put on in the Michigan game last week and then with his play during the comeback against Ohio State, after taking a number of very big hits, to finish the game with 281 yards passing and two scores.
Yes, if the Gophers can simply duplicate their performance to start the first half and end the second half they should have a real chance to compete on the road against Iowa and at home against Wisconsin and Illinois.
