Tracy Claeys has been head coach at Minnesota for only a handful of games. But we know one thing for sure about him: He's going to be aggressive at the end of games.
Thursday night's season-opening win over Oregon State provided another example of that. The Golden Gophers scored to go up 30-23 with 87 seconds remaining. That's when things got unconventional.
Minnesota lined up to go for a two-point conversion try before calling timeout. It appeared for a moment that the team had just gotten its signals crossed, because the Gophers could have just kicked the extra point to go up by eight points.
