Gophers: Defensive tackle Steven Richardson has 'unreal' game

FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- Steven Richardson stuffed the defensive stat sheet in Minnesota's 23-20 overtime victory over Colorado State

The 6-foot, 291-pound defensive tackle tied for the team lead with seven tackles and also had a sack, three tackles for loss, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, a pass breakup and a quarterback hurry.

"Steven Richardson played unreal (Saturday), like an All-American football player," Gophers coach Jerry Kill said.

One of the most impressive plays was when Richardson pursued after a Rams completion on a screen pass and made the tackle about 25 yards down the field.
