Let's just have a little reminder of other upsets against top teams before the Buckeyes match-up!

2019, Vs. No. 4 Penn State. The Gophers won 31-26


1999, at No. 2 Penn State. The Golden Gophers won 24-23


1986, at No. 2 Michigan. The Golden Gophers won 20-17


1981, at No. 6 Iowa. The Golden Gophers won 12-10 (Highlights at 9:35 in the video)
Bonus. 1981 Vs. No. 18 Ohio State. The Golden Gophers won 35-31. (Highlights at 17:22 in the video)


1977, Vs. No. 1 Michigan. The Golden Gophers won 16-0 (Highlights at 21:10 in the video)


1968, Vs. No. 6 Purdue. The Golden Gophers won 27-13
According to the Rivals site Gold and Black | Minnesota running back Jim Carter ran for three touchdowns and the Gophers had 300 yards on the ground. It was a cool 33 degrees and the Gophers built up a 27-0 lead going into halftime. Purdue would score just 13 in the second half.
 


2000, at #5 Ohio State. The Gophers won 29-17

 

What do we do about 2019 Iowa where CFP #8 Minnesota beat themselves?
 

As great as this thread is, it’s sad that 1) we haven’t played many top 10 teams that often and/or we simply don’t beat a top 10 team that often! We’re sad 😆👍
