Some signs of life from Minnesota?
After trailing Bowling Green 7-3 at halftime, the Golden Gophers came out of halftime and scored on a 19-yard run by backup quarterback Cole Kramer to jump back out in front 10-7.

It was a much-needed score after Minnesota’s poor first half on offense. The Golden Gophers managed 92 total yards and just looked out of sync. They entered the game as 31-point favorites over Bowling Green, which is 1-2 on the season.
We’ll see if Minnesota can keep it going, but it might not be easy. Top receiver Chris Autman-Bell went down with an ankle injury on the first drive and hasn’t re-entered the game. Minnesota hasn’t given an update on his status for the second half.
Bowling Green has the ball in the 3rd quarter on ESPNU.
