In a thrilling late-night battle at the Rose Bowl, the Minnesota Golden Gophers rallied past the UCLA Bruins, clinching a 21-17 victory. UCLA initially held a 10-0 halftime lead, energized by Keegan Jones' 1-yard touchdown run and a last-second field goal, as their defense stifled Minnesota's opening efforts.
Minnesota emerged reinvigorated in the second half, sparked by a key interception by Koi Perich and a composed performance by quarterback Max Brosmer, who led a decisive 61-yard drive capped by a game-sealing touchdown pass to Darius Taylor with mere seconds left. Despite a strong start, Ethan Garbers and the Bruins stall in their attempts to secure a long-coveted first Big Ten win.
