In a game where the Gopher defense stuffs the run early and attacks Barkley the men of Troy reduced to one deminsion. Barkely to Woods. Making an intial first down they are stopped and forced to punt. The Gophers start on their 35 and feature a multiple attack. Gray and Bennett are a dual threat and passes to Lair and McKnight are enough to get to the USC 25. Gray sprints to the 5. Three downs and its Minnesota 7 USC 0.
Still focused on defense Barkley goes to a screen game. And USC moves the ball. He hits Woods on a deep dig. The Gophers are being attacked through the air and a series of three step drop passes yield the tying touchdown to Woods.
As the second quarter comes to an end neither team is able to generate anything and they go to lockeroom tied.
As the second half begins Stoudemier breaks a huge return to the USC 15. Gray to Mcknight and its 14-7. And now the game is on.
USC responds with a kickoff of their own. Starting at the Gopher 45, Barkley continues to styme the rush with a three step drop and swing passes to the backs. Taking the ball inside the Gopher 5 two rushing plays reach the 1, and Barkley sneaks over from there. The quarter features each team making a couple first downs and being forced to punt. The Quarter ends 14-14.
The Gophers have the Trojans on the USC 40 and USC is forced to punt, but wait its blocked. Its Michael Carter with the block, and its covered at the USC 25. The Gophers take a shot at the endzone and Lair comes down with it. Gophers 21-USC 14. The clock is now becoming a friend of the Gophers. They have only been beaten by great plays by USC. But another run back to the USC 40. USC needs to score. And Barkley responds. Trojans march 55 yards and score on fade to Woods. 21-21. With less than 3 minutes left in the game. Kiffin believes more in his defense and kicks away, Stoudemier responds. The Gophers start at their 40. The USC defense is blitzing Gray, but he finds Bennett and he takes it to the USC 45. The Gophers run Edwards three times and have a first down at the USC 32. Gray runs an option keeping the ball and taking it to the USC 25 with less than a minute. Edwards gets a first down to the USC 22. And the Gophers take a time out with 5 seconds left. USC responds with their time out to freeze the kicker. The snap, the ball is down, Hawthorne's kick is up, its GOOOOOOOOD!
