Pffffffffffffffffffttt. That was the sound you heard at about 10:00 pm Saturday night as the Gophers dreams of winning the B1G West popped like a balloon stuck from a needle. Once again Gopher players, coaches, fans and media are left wondering what might have been. This season will forever be remembered as the Season of Missed Opportunities.
The Gophers are now 0-3 in toss-up games this season. They gave the Penn State game away. The played their worst offensive game of the season against Iowa and still held a 4th quater lead. They held a halftime lead against Nebraska, then came out in the second half looking like a completely different team, yet they still put themselves into position to tie the game late.
