per Joe:
Lost in the nightmarish ending to last week’s Michigan game was the fact Mitch Leidner and the rest of the Gophers offense delivered, perhaps, their most impressive performance of the season.
Michigan came in leading the nation in several key defensive categories, but the Gophers outgained the Wolverines 461 yards to 296. The infuriating finish — failing to score after driving to the 1-foot line with 19 seconds remaining — doesn’t even materialize if Leidner and others hadn’t delivered several clutch plays to set the stage.
They’ll need even more of them Saturday, when the Gophers play at top-ranked Ohio State.
“This is what you sign up for,” Leidner said, “playing prime-time football against the No. 1 team in the country.”
