Gophers Crushed by Bulldogs at Home | Minnesota Golden Gophers Football News

Minnesota’s season opener against Mississippi State ended in a brutal 38-13 loss, as the Bulldogs dominated from the start and never let up.

Mississippi State’s Kamario Taylor shredded the Gophers’ secondary with three touchdowns and strong runs, while Minnesota’s offense couldn’t convert key drives. The defeat marks Fleck’s fourth straight loss to Power Four teams and leaves fans frustrated after a historic home matchup against an SEC foe.
