If you believe there is any such thing as a moral victory, the Gophers defined it in the team’s 30-14 loss to No. 3 Ohio State on Saturday afternoon. A team most predicted to lose by 30 or more points, Minnesota came out and showed that when firing on all cylinders, they can compete with some of the best teams in the nation. The defense played incredible against an explosive offense and Annexstad and Co. were a couple plays away from making the game close at the end. While the game will still show up in the loss column, many Gophers fans will be happy with how the team performed, at least for the first three quarters.
By the Numbers: Gophers have strong three quarters, ultimately fall 30-14 to No. 3 Ohio State
