per the STrib:

An offense that had been so integral to the team’s 8-2 start was the main culprit in the 0-3 finish against Wisconsin, Michigan State and Syracuse. The touchdown drought was even more exasperating for the Gophers because they kept reaching the red zone, kept getting chances to make plays and kept coming up short.

“The way I look at our offense right now, it’s like the Cheez-It commercial,” offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover said. “You’ve got a doctor sitting there. He’s got the two spots [on his checklist] — ready or not ready. We’ve been kind of in that not-ready category.

“When those plays presented themselves — there weren’t a whole lot of them — but when they did, we didn’t take advantage. So instead of losing to Michigan State 14-3, we’ve got to find a way to make that a 17-14 game this year.”
