VIDEO: Minnesota's Tyler Johnson Hauls in 3rd TD of Day for Game-Winning Contested Catch
By Adam Weinrib
The Minnesota Golden Gophers came oh-so-close to falling yet again to a bizarrely competent opponent, but it seems they've gutted out another one. With 34 seconds left and a first-and-goal at the goal line, PJ Fleck saw his crew stuffed on a run. No matter; they'd do it the hard way, with wideout Tyler Johnson grabbing another one and muscling it away from the defender on a fade.
MINNESOTA FINDS THE ENDZONE?

Not what we expected, but it got the job done!
Minnesota truly was inches away from going 0-3 on the young season. Instead, they're solidified at 3-0.
Minnesota is 3-0.

Minnesota is like thiiiiiiis close to being 0-3 with losses to the Missouri Valley, MWC, and Sun Belt
Scary start, but it'll work!
