What an amazing play this was. Only overshadowed because of the pick.

Saturday night, the Golden Gophers found themselves in a dog fight with Fresno State. Minnesota was down 28-21 with less than one minute to play and facing a 4th-and-long situation. Basically, the Gophers had one play left in the bag.

And it worked.

Tanner Morgan fired a perfect pass down the sideline of the end zone and Chris Autman-Bell made the catch of his life, getting one foot down inbounds for the touchdown. After the extra point sailed through the uprights, Minnesota and Fresno State continued the contest into overtime.

Talk about a big-time play. This will go down as one of the best catches of the season. Both Morgan and Autman-Bell will remember it for quite some time, too.

Just to add on as I’m re-watching the game tonight. That final drive to tie was nice but they had back to back fumbled snaps to set up the 4th and 15. The probability of the Gophers scoring a Td in that situation had to be somewhat low.

I think the Gophers might want to Make a Johnson, Bateman, Autman-Bell version of the linked poster. Heck, add Mr. Douglas and call it Four Deep!
