The Golden Gophers’ undefeated run has come to an end.
A week after upsetting then-No. 4 Penn State at home, No. 8 Minnesota went on the road and was knocked from the ranks of the unbeaten by No. 20 Iowa, 23-19.
Minnesota, which dropped to 9-1 with the loss, came storming out the gates against PSU last Saturday. But this time it was the Gophers’ opponent that had a scorching start.
Iowa, energized by a pair of freshmen — running back Tyler Goodson and receiver Tyrone Tracy — marched right down the field and scored touchdowns on its first two drives.
