The Minnesota Golden Gophers (5-3) rallied from a 6-0 first quarter deficit to send the Michigan State Spartans (2-6) to their sixth straight loss, prevailing by a score of 27-12.
The Elite
Jordan Nubin. With Bryce Williams out for the season, Darius Taylor and Zach Evans sidelined with injuries, and Sean Tyler unable to hold on to the football, the Gophers turned to walk-on running back Jordan Nubin to carry the load against Michigan State. It’s safe to say he was up to the task. Operating behind a Minnesota offensive line that found their groove in the second half, Nubin racked up 40 carries for 204 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
