Minnesota was firing on all cylinders on Friday night.

After coming forcing Indiana into a three-and-out in the third quarter, the Gophers were able to make a few additional big plays on special teams and offense. It gave Minnesota some serious breathing room.

Justus Harris broke through the line and blocked Indiana’s punt, giving the Gophers excellent field position. Then, from 17 yards out, running back Shannon Brooks crossed the goal line to give Minnesota a 31-9 lead in the third quarter.

Friday marked the first time Brooks has seen the field all season and he already racked up 100 rushing yards. Not a bad outing for the formerly injured Gopher.

Minnesota has dominated Indiana in every aspect of the game.
