The University of Minnesota Football did what they needed to do today. They finally played above an FCS opponent and easily dispatched Indiana State by a score of 58-28. The Gophers were the better team on offense, on defense, and especially on special teams, but still have some issues to work out during their bye week next week.
Jalen Myrick started things off on the right foot with a 25 yard kick off return before the Minnesota offensive line tried to set things back. Mitch Leidner battled through three false starts by his offensive line, and two dropped passes that hit his receivers directly in the numbers to convert on three third and longs.
