per Joe:
Fifty-four seconds. That’s how close the Gophers came to winning at Penn State, where their defense let the Nittany Lions drive for a tying field goal, setting up Saquon Barkley’s overtime gallop.
Thirteen yards. That’s how close the Gophers came to tying Iowa last week, when their offense — mostly dreadful all day — rallied for one last drive, only to fall short.
At 0-2 in Big Ten play, as they head to Maryland on Saturday, the Gophers refuse to accept that their West Division title hopes have been dashed.
“The one thing is you can’t hit a three-run homer,” coach Tracy Claeys said last week. “You know, one game at a time.”
Actually, what the Gophers need now is a grand slam. This next four-game stretch against Maryland, Rutgers, Illinois and Purdue has long been viewed as the soft part of their Big Ten schedule.
