As a long time Gopher fan, I've seen us lose every which way. This year has been really refreshing. Probably need to recap...
1. South Dakota St. - Normally we're the team that fumbles away a game they are dominating late in the 2nd half and then watch as the other team takes the ball, drives down the field and scores the winning touchdown. This year that was us.
2. Fresno St. - Normally we're the team that bumbles in OT. Holds a team to a field goal and then can't score. If it had been a previous Gopher team, we'd have been like 4th and 25 on the last possession and couldn't have kicked a tying field goal.
3. Georgia Southern - Need I remind anyone of blowing games with blocked punts? Or awful turnovers at the wrong time. Or needing to convert on 3rd and forever and 4th down on a game winning drive?
4 Purdue - Normally when the opponent loses their best two players you are in good shape. But I can't tell you how many backup QBs have had career days against us.
So that makes 4 games in and 4 trends that have reversed themselves. I may just be starting to believe...
