You might have missed

Pass rush limited

For the second consecutive game, the Gophers didn't sack the opposing quarterback. They ended up with four QB hurries, plus Tyler Nubin's interception.

"We were a little inconsistent. We did a good job stopping the run,'' coach P.J. Fleck said. "… We got some pass rush, but they did a good job of getting the ball out. They were throwing everything quick. They weren't going through progressions, and it's hard to get to the quarterback that way.''

A coach in training

Injured running back Mohamed Ibrahim patrolled the sideline with his left leg resting on a knee cart after undergoing season-ending surgery on Tuesday. Both Fleck and Potts praised Ibrahim's influence on the running backs.

"That's my partner in crime. He was right there the whole game with me,'' Potts said. "He helped me manage the game, gave me pointers. I've always been right on his hip.''

Said Fleck, "He's getting a lot of practice for being a coach one day, I know that.''


Go Gophers!!
