The Minnesota Golden Gophers climbed high with last week’s win over Penn State, only to fumble away their positive momentum in an ugly 23-19 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes.
The Elite
The Minnesota passing attack. Quarterback Tanner Morgan and his elite wide receiver corps did not have a perfect game by any means, but they did nearly everything they could to keep their team in the game. Morgan was 25-of-36 for 368 passing yards, with the vast majority of those yards spread out among Tyler Johnson (nine receptions for 170 receiving yards and one touchdown), Rashod Bateman (six receptions for 98), Demetrius Douglas (four receptions for 60), and Chris Autman-Bell (three receptions for 21).
