Overall: B-minus

Give the Gophers credit for their ability to run the ball Saturday against a tough Michigan State team. However, that success on the ground never translated into touchdowns, as Minnesota has now gone more than 10 quarters with an offensive touchdown. The Gophers had the ball in the red zone three times in Saturday's game but came away with just three total points thanks to a missed field goal and a fumble. Given that Minnesota held Michigan State's offense in check, the game never got out of hand. But the Gophers simply couldn't make that big play to get into the end zone. It resulted in a loss to a very good Spartans team that will now play Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship.

Meanwhile, Minnesota finishes the regular season with an 8-4 record -- a two-win improvement over last year -- and now awaits its bowl game fate.
