Gophers Football Team Dominates Competition


The Gophers football team had it’s best season in ages, beginning their 2019 campaign with a 9-0 record and a ranking of eighth in the nation. The climax of the season came in a home win over fifth ranked Penn State, when fans stormed the field after the game. It was just head coach P.J. Fleck’s third year on the job. On New Year’s Day, the team will close its season at the Outback Bowl game against the Auburn Tigers. Click here to read about the team’s success.
