per Sid:
If you are looking for positives in the Gophers football team’s 35-24 victory over Middle Tennessee State on Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium, there are many, the most important being that they won the game.
That David Cobb outrushed the entire visiting team by a margin of 222 yards to 190 was another positive factor.
And then you have the situation to sing the praises of a team that could score two touchdowns in the space of 72 seconds, on a 31-yard interception return by Jalen Myrick and a 27-yard pass from quarterback Mitch Leidner to Maxx Williams to give the home team a commanding 21-0 lead at the time.
But then you have the second-half letdown, and that has to concern coach Jerry Kill and his staff. The Gophers were outscored 24-7 after halftime, had a blocked punt that led to a touchdown and saw their offense get outgained 288-132 in the second half after a first-half advantage of 219-157. Then you have the Blue Raiders passing for 255 yards to the Gophers’ 67, and last but not least, your quarterback suffers a knee injury in the fourth quarter that might keep him out of next week’s game at Texas Christian.
