The start of the P.J. Fleck era in Minnesota didn’t go exactly as planned, but the Gophers found a way to get the 17-7 victory over Buffalo. Despite a tighter score than expected, Fleck was happy to start his tenure off with a victory.
“We are going to enjoy it tonight,” said Fleck. “I’ve learned in my short career you never not enjoy a win.”
