So I was on vacation last week and wasn't able to watch the game, having to listen to it instead. Watching the highlights, though, wow. What a catch at the end and then a game winner of a kick to get the W. Got me thinking, what are the best game-winning plays or clutch moments where a victory was clinched for Minnesota?

Here are some from the past few years that I can think of:

2011 Vs. Iowa
Marqueis Gray's game winning touchdown run on 4th and 2 with 2:48 left in the game.

2012 @ UNLV
Jordan Wettstein's 32-yard game winning field goal in triple overtime.

2013 @ Indiana
Aaron Hill's fumble recovery on a failed lateral with 25 seconds left, sealing the win.
 

2014 @ Nebraska
Briean Boddy-Calhoun's strip fumble with 1:19 left, letting Minnesota run out the clock for a win.

2015 @ Colorado State
Ryan Santoso's game winning overtime 18-yard field goal, set up by a Scott Ekpe strip fumble. (at 2:48)

2016 Vs. Rutgers
Emmitt Carpenter's game winning 34-yard field goal with 10 seconds left.

2018 Vs. Fresno State
Antoine Winfield Jr's interception in the end-zone to seal the win.
 

2018 Vs. Indiana
Tanner Morgan's 67-yard touchdown pass to Rashod Bateman to take the lead with 1:34 left.

2019 @ Fresno State
Antoine Winfield Jr's Interception in the end-zone to seal the win, double overtime edition.

2019 Vs. Georgia Southern
Tyler Johnson's game winning touchdown catch from Morgan with 13 seconds left.

2019 Vs. Penn State
Jordan Howden's interception with 1:01 left to seal the win.
 

I like this (what I consider) a victory clinching interception. Adekunle Ayinde vs WSU in the Holiday Bowl.
