Gophers knock out Hoosiers with 1st-half flurry, win 35-14

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- , Tyler Nubin’s interception gave Minnesota a chance to swing Saturday’s game. Tanner Morgan and Ky Thomas cashed in. Thomas ran for two scores, Morgan threw for two more and Minnesota produced two touchdowns in the final 46 seconds of the first half before pulling away from Indiana 35-14. ”It's been a long few weeks," coach P.J. Fleck said. “This game was going to be really short, it felt like. Whatever happens, I just like the way our guys have responded." Minnesota (7-4, 5-3 Big Ten) reinforced Fleck's point after losing its previous two. This time the Golden Gophers found some offensive punch behind Thomas, who ran 26 times for 105 yards, and Morgan, who threw more TD passes in four quarters than the previous four games. But Nubin's big play changed everything.
