Minnesota football has played 45 games against teams from the Dakotas since 1898. If the Gophers were kicking off the 2019 season against UND the 20 games the teams have faced each other would be too many to review, however SDSU has only traveled to Minneapolis seven times, making this much easier.
The 4th win in brand new TCF Bank Stadium, after a bad offensive game, the Gophers revived four South Dakota turnovers, scored on one of them, and the final take away setting up the game winning Eric Ellestad field goal.
Francis “Pug” Lund scored all 3 Gopher touchdowns as well as punting, passing, blocking, and playing a great defensive game.
