Minnesota Football: Gophers fall to Penn State in overtime 29-26

The Minnesota Golden Gophers led the Penn State Nittany Lions 13-3 at halftime before a third quarter collapse allowed Joe Paterno’s former team to score 17 unanswered points and take the lead, 20-13. The Gophers would tie it up with a Shannon Brooks touchdown in the fourth quarter before taking the lead on a field goal with a minute left in the game. The Nittany Lions were able to tie it up on a field goal of their own in the final seconds and then take Minnesota into overtime, where a Saquon Barkley touchdown sealed the win for Penn State.
