It wasn’t exactly how we all scripted it, but the Gophers did just enough to earn their first B1G victory of the season. It wasn’t necessarily pretty or exciting. The Gophers used a swarming defense and the legs of Kobe McCrary and Rodney Smith to earn PJ Fleck his first ever B1G victory.
Maybe we got ahead of ourselves last week in the excitment of how well Demry Croft played in the 4th quarter against Michigan State. Maybe we were all just desperate enough for any type of hope we forgot Croft is still a really inexperienced quarterback.
