An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty pushed the Gophers into the red zone and another pass interference call in the end zone placed Minnesota at the goal line.

The Golden Gophers piled up 193 rushing yards and three touchdowns in 40 carries, nine of which came on the final game-winning drive.

While spirits remained high at practice this week, a loss to the Golden Gophers on Saturday evening at the Rose Bowl would be deflating for a team badly in need of a pick-me-up.

Except, in this case, after a lengthy video review, officials gave the Gophers the benefit of the doubt.

Clarity was not forthcoming Monday when Foster was asked what he saw from the film and what the plan would be against the Golden Gophers.
