On Saturday night TCF Bank Stadium ("The Bank") was broken in with a victory over the Air Force Academy. Nate Triplett had 17 tackles and was recognized by the guys on ESPN for his outstanding performance.
An excerpt from the U of MN website reads:
Triplett recorded a career-high 17 tackles and also returned a fumble 52 yards for a touchdown to break a tie in the fourth quarter and give the Gophers a victory in their first game at TCF Bank Stadium. The senior linebacker’s 17 tackles mark the best single-game performance in the Big Ten this season and are also the most by a Minnesota player since 2002.
