Minnesota Gophers squander game in California; Koi Perich STRUGGLES!

The game was there for the taking for the Minnesota Gophers on Saturday night, but it was not to be for a variety of reasons. Koi Perich struggled in the punt return game by calling for a fair catch at the two-yard line and muffing a punt late in the 4th quarter leading to a Cal touchdown. YIKES! The Minnesota Gophers defense didn’t force one turnover and likely didn’t pressure Cal’s true freshman QB enough. The Minnesota Gophers offense struggled to score points too. It wasn’t all bad though and there were some good things to take away from the game. The Minnesota Gophers now have two weeks to get ready for Rutgers and fix all that ailed them against Cal. Ross Brendel and Manny Hill are back for Gophers 101 on SKOR North. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
