per Judd:
Much of Thursday morning was spent expressing seldom-heard or felt optimism about the Gophers football program.
A video was done devoting 2 minutes, 20 seconds — the maximum allowed on Twitter — to the fact the Gophers had a real chance to win the Big Ten West. A podcast was produced with Chip Scoggins in which the Star Tribune sports columnist and longtime chronicler of Gophers football said eight wins should be the floor and also spoke highly of where P.J. Fleck had the program.

Nowhere in any of these conversations was it broached that the Gophers could lose their opener on Thursday night to South Dakota State at TCF Bank Stadium. The Jackrabbits might have been ranked fourth in the Football Championship Subdivision coaches poll, but they were still a full division below the Gophers and this meant Minnesota was supposed to roll.
Not only did that not happen, but the Gophers needed a fourth-quarter fumble from SDSU quarterback J’Bore Gibbs to get possession at the Jackrabbits’ 34-yard line and score the go-ahead touchdown on Mohamed Ibrahim’s 1-yard run with 5 minutes, 39 seconds remaining for a 28-21 victory. The Gophers had trailed 21-20 and got the two-point conversion on Tyler Johnson’s pass to quarterback Tanner Morgan.
