It wasn’t flashy, it wasn’t pretty, but the Gophers pulled out a 10-7 win over Kent State on Saturday. Minnesota averaged just 2.4 yards per carry and scored just one touchdown but was picked up by their outstanding defense.
“The bottom line is we won the game,” said Jerry Kill. “We found a way to do it. We’re 2-1. We’ve got to work and get ready for the next one.”
Shutdown Defense
What the offense didn’t provide in scoring, the defense provided in a stifling attack. The Gophers D looked incredible, holding Kent State to 79 yards on the ground and 63 yards passing for just 142 total and zero points.
