per FSN:
Overall: B
Things looked ugly for a while Thursday as the Gophers barely held an edge over a UNLV team that had lost 22 straight road games prior to its trip to Minneapolis. This was a game Minnesota needed to dominate. Finally, in the second half, it did thanks to several big plays by the special teams and defense. There's no doubt Kill will find plenty of things to critique when he watches the film, as the Gophers were far from perfect in the opener. The passing game remains a work in progress, and Minnesota has to figure out its running back situation if Kirkwood's injury costs him and games. For as lackluster as Thursday's first half was, though, Minnesota was certainly impressive in the second half as it pulled away for a win to start the season 1-0.
