Michigan 29, Minnesota 26

The Gophers fell to Michigan 29-26 tonight in Minneapolis.  The Gophers fall to 4-4 on the season.  What a heartbreaker to lose this game on the last play of the game.  Clock management was not good at the end of the game for the Gophers, I sure hope that doesn't cost Tracy Claeys the full time job.  Let's not overreact to this loss though, Minnesota was a two touchdown underdog and they really did outplay Michigan, they just couldn't finish. Tough loss.

Observations:

• The Little Brown Jug heads back to Ann Arbor. 
• Can we have that last 19 seconds back please?  
• Was Michigan offsides on the last play of the game?  
• It was nice to see Briean Boddy-Calhoun back on the field. 
• Is there a better kicker in the B1G than Ryan Santoso?  
• Brandon Lingen is becoming quite the weapon at TE for Minnesota. 
• I really liked the Gopher linebackers tonight. 
• Minnesota gained 461 yards against Michigan's number 1 in the country defense.
• Total Yards:  Minnesota 461, Michigan 296
• I've been impressed with Andrew Stelter this season. 
• Too many line drive punts by Peter Mortell this year. 
• It was not a good night for Kunle Ayinde. 
• Start that slide just a little earlier next time Jake Rudock. 
• Jabrill Peppers is good.  Go to the NFL early please! 
• All of Minnesota seems to already miss Jerry Kill. 
• It sounds like a nice tribute to Flip Saunders pre-game. 
• I really like those gray Gopher uniforms!  
• It's amazing how improved Michigan is under Jim Harbaugh.  
• If you're not playing, stay off the damn field people. 
• Up next?  @ Ohio State next Saturday night.
