The Gophers won their first nine games of the year, punctuated with a home win over then-No. 4 Penn State, and rose to eighth in the College Football Playoff rankings. They suffered their first loss of the year the next week on the road against Iowa. In the final game of the regular season, in a game that decided the West Division, Minnesota lost to rival Wisconsin, 38\u201317. The team was invited to the Outback Bowl to play then-No. 12 Auburn, where Minnesota won by a score of 31\u201324. Minnesota ended the season with a record of 11\u20132, their 11 wins being the school’s most since 1904. They were ranked 10th in the final AP Poll of the season, their first ranked finish since 2003, and highest finish since 1962.[2]The Gophers’ offense was led by redshirt sophomore quarterback Tanner Morgan, who had 3,253 passing yards and 30 touchdowns, and was named second-team All-Big Ten. Wide receivers Rashod Bateman and Tyler Johnson both finished with more than 1,200 yards and were both named first-team all-conference. Running back Rodney Smith finished in third in the conference with 1,163 yards. The defense was led by first-team all-conference safety Antoine Winfield Jr., who led the team in tackles and had seven interceptions on the year. Head coach P. J.

The game would be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida. Auburn had impressive victories in their season, beating the Pac-12 champion Oregon Ducks in Texas to open the season and more recently knocking off the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Iron Bowl. The game was a back and forth affair with both teams trading field goals then touchdowns to make it 10\u201310 after the 1st Quarter. The lone Gopher 1st quarter touchdown came from Mohamed Ibrahim on a 16 yard TD run. About midway through the second, Seth Green found offensive lineman Bryce Witham in the end zone to give the Gophers a 17\u201310 lead, their first lead of the game. After Bo Nix connected with Sal Cannella for a 37 yard score, the Gophers would end the half with a drive that ultimately ended with an impressive Tyler Johnson touchdown reception to give them a 24\u201317 lead. Auburn would score the only points of the 3rd Quarter as Jordan Whitlow ran a touchdown in from three yards out. Finally, Tyler Johnson finished his final collegiate game with a 73 yard touchdown catch and run in the 4th Quarter to give Minnesota the lead. It would be the deciding score as the Gophers stopped the Tigers on their final drive to win the Outback Bowl 31\u201324.2019 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team rosterPlayersCoachesOffenseDefenseSpecial teamsHead coachCoordinators\/assistant coachesKirk Ciarrocca (offensive coordinator \/ quarterbacks)Joe Rossi (defensive coordinator \/ linebackers)Rob Wenger (special teams coordinator \/ outside linebackers)Kenni Burns (assistant head coach \/ running backs)Rod Chance (cornerbacks)Brian Callahan (run game coordinators \/ offensive line)Joe Harasymiak (defensive backs \/ safeties)Jim Panagos (defensive line)Clay Patterson (tight ends)Matt Simon (passing game coordinator \/ wide receivers)Gerrit Chernoff (General Manager)Dan Nichol (head strength & conditioning)Norries Wilson (director of player development)Legend(C) Team captain(S) Suspended(I) Ineligible Injured RedshirtRoster Last update: April 18, 2019Players drafted into the NFL[edit]References[edit]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki21\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki21\/2019-minnesota-golden-gophers-football-team\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"2019 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team"}}]}]
