But instead of duplicating a home upset of a fourth-ranked Penn State team like they did in unforgettable fashion in 2019, Minnesota gave up the lead in the third quarter and lost 26-25 at Huntington Bank Stadium.

The Gophers football team put up a valiant effort and had a chance to win the game in the final minutes, but ultimately it couldn't pull off the upset, falling 26-25 to No. 4 Penn State Saturday at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

However, the Gophers offense was shut down by Penn State's defense in a three-and-out and the Nittany Lions carried that momentum on offense, going five plays for 57 yards before Nicholas Singleton rushed for a 12-yard touchdown to give Penn State their first lead of the night, 23-22.
