Mo Ibrahim, Dylan Wright make huge plays to pull Gophers within striking distance of Ohio State

Minnesota started a bit sluggish against Ohio State but woke up in a big way in the second quarter!
After forcing the Buckeyes to settle for a field goal, it looked like Minnesota may settle for a quick punt. But on a short 4th-down play, Mohamed Ibrahim went on a massive run.
The blocking set up a perfect hole, and Ibrahim was into the second level of the defense in a flash. He gashed the Buckeyes for 56 yards and went down inside their 20 before getting tackled.

That’s when quarterback Tanner Morgan went to work. He connected with wide receiver Dylan Wright from 13 yards out with Wright making a gorgeous catch in one-on-one coverage.
Wright looks like a problem for defenses to cover on the outside:
The Gophers are on the board❗️
