TAMPA, Fla. — It seemed, for a moment, that Auburn had fully recovered from its uncharacteristic start to Wednesday's game.
Yes, No. 16 Minnesota scored 24 points in the first half, which was tied for the second-most Kevin Steele's unit had allowed in any game this season, but the 13th-ranked Tigers held firm through the entire third quarter and early part of the fourth.
The Golden Gophers gained just 52 yards on 15 plays during that span. After quarterback Tanner Morgan muffed a snap and got stopped short on fourth-and-1 deep in Tiger territory, Auburn had the ball back in a game tied at 24.
