Teague and Renner win up front and STUFF Northwestern on third-and-short!
The D is holding steady early and the offense will have it at the 20-yard line after a touchback. Tied 0-0 with 5:34 left in the 1st quarter. #NUvsMINN

Really interested to see how many Gopher fans show up today. Team is coming off an impressive win, one more gets them into a bowl. Right now, there are a few dozen people in the stands other than the band.
