An electric night in front of a record crowd at TCF Bank Stadium and the Golden Gophers kicked off the 2015 season on national television. The opponent was unfortunately the #2 team in the country. TCU, at times, looked every bit the part of being a national title contender. But the Gophers played well and may have missed on an opportunity to upset the Horned Frogs and make an early-season statement. In the end TCU was the better team and held off Minnesota to win 23-17.
Actually both teams were working out some kinks from the offseason and made plenty of mistakes.
