Lawrence Maroney is in the Heisman chase and got a big leg up Saturday with 217 rushing yards. The gophers defense came up big for most of the game and played with a lot of heart.
Minnesota held a 20-14 lead late in the game, but then gave up 14 points in 2 minutes, including an interception return for a TD by the Purdue defense. But the Gophers never gave up. They came up with a huge drive when they needed it to send the game to OT, where they won in 2OT.
The Gophers are now a real threat to take one of the top spots in the Big Ten. With this running game and a good defense that improves each week, the Gophers are capable of beating anyone.
Now comes the real test. The Gophers go on the road against Penn State and Michigan.
