Minnesota 22, Iowa 21

Gophers win!!!!  22-21 over Iowa today.  Floyd of Rosedale stays in Minneapolis!!!  Much improved effort by the Gophers today, they really played hard, you have to like seeing that from a 1-6 (now 2-6) team.  This was the definition of a trap game for Iowa, they were coming off 2 big wins, they were on the road, they were playing against a far inferior team (Iowa was a 16 point favorite), you had to kind of see it coming.  I don't know that the better team won today but I'll take it. 

Observations:
-Today was the best game the Gophers have played this year.  
-MarQueis Gray seems to be settling in and is looking more and more comfortable with every game at the QB position.
-Iowa is the first Big Ten team to not score on it's first possession against Minnesota this year. 
-Duane Bennett had a nice game today (101 yards on 20 carries, 1 TD).  
-Kyle Henderson has done a nice job of filling in for the injured Troy Stoudermire at CB. 
-Devin Crawford-Tufts looks like he may have a nice future at WR.  
-Nice job by kicker Jordan Wettstein in his first collegiate game ever.   
-Iowa RB Marcus Coker is a beast of a RB (252 yards rushing, 2 TD's). 
-Iowa WR Marvin McNutt just may be the best WR in the Big Ten (7 catches for 107 yards, 1 TD).
-Up next is Michigan St (6-2) in East Lansing, MI.
