Minnesota 14 Wisconsin 0
1)Gophers play their first and only game on Thanksgiving Day. Why was the game played so late in the year?
2)Badgers have it 1st and goal at Gopher 1-yard line late in first half and are stuffed. Badgers have it 1st and goal at Gopher 9-yard line late in game and are again thwarted as a future NFL star makes 3 consecutive tackles. Can you name him?
3)A junior fullback-linebacker-place kicker scores all of Minnesota's points. Can you name this Wisconsin native?
Note to old-timers- Do you recall the previous game at Purdue? With Minnesota down 13-11 late in the game, Aaron Brown is rumbling in the open field for an apparent winning touchdown but he pops a hamstring and is caught inside the Purdue 20-yard-line. 3 running plays put Minnesota in position for a short field goal. The player in #3 misses the chipshot and the Gophers are denied their first ever win in West Lafayette. I still remember his anguished expression in the photo on the front page of the Sunday Sports Peach. But he enjoyed some redemption against Wisconsin!
4) Minnesota's pedestrian offense gets a lift vs. Badgers by the performance of a sophomore back from St. Paul. His future seems bright but an off-season injury will prevent him from ever playing well again. Can you name him?
