GN EDITORIAL NOTE: Recently former Gopher offensive lineman Derek Burns reached out to us. He wanted to share his complete recollection of Minnesota's upset of undefeated and #2 ranked Penn State Nittany Lions in 1999. We were excited to work with him and the following is his behind the scenes account of his experiences that week. What he wrote is incredible and I'm thrilled that we get to publish it here! I think you are going to really enjoy this.
Our only only disappointment is that Penn State is not on the schedule this year, as it would be great to tie this work to that game.
