per Sid:
All offseason, Gophers football coach P.J. Fleck noted that South Dakota State wasn’t a typical opponent to start the season.
Fleck told me this week that the Jackrabbits were going to present a huge challenge to the Gophers.
Yes, they are an FCS team, but they are also the fourth-ranked team in the nation. The Jackrabbits roster is flooded with players from Minnesota high schools who were definitely looking forward to playing the Big Ten program from their home state.
Fleck’s worry proved right. The Jackrabbits did more than just test the Gophers at TCF Bank Stadium on Thursday night.
They looked like the superior team in the second half and held a 21-20 lead before the Gophers sneaked out with a 28-21 victory after a huge defensive play.
