Minnesota beat Rutgers 34-32. Normally, the difference between those two numbers would be vast. Today was not a normal game against Rutgers. Instead of a comfortable win, Minnesota decided to up the degree of difficulty by making every possible mistake.
In all facets of the game, the Gophers turned in their worst performances of the seasons. The offense was stagnant for much of the game. Mitch Leidner made multiple poor decisions and throws. While the interception had as much to do with his receivers running into each other as a poor throw, the senior quarterback overthrew and underthrew multiple receivers throughout the game.
