The Gophers didn’t put up a whole lot of resistance again, but they stiffened up when it mattered the most and forced Ohio State to settle for three points.
The big play on the Buckeyes’ drive was a pass from Terrelle Pryor to Dane Sanzenbacher that covered 39 yards on third and 2, putting the Buckeyes inside the Minnesota red zone. However, the Gophers held fast, and the Buckeyes had to settle for a 23-yard field goal from Devin Barclay.
With 8:24 left until halftime, the Gophers trail the Buckeyes by a score of 17-7.
