With more than 600 victories, six national championships, and 17 former players in the College Football Hall of Fame, the Minnesota football program is one of the greatest in history. Legendary players like Bruce Smith and Bronko Nagurski helped the Gophers dominate Minnesota sports for the first 60 years of the 20th century. This book provides a look at some of the most memorable players, coaches, and games of the last 70 years. From the Golden? era of 1934-41, which included five national titles, George ?Sonny? Franck and Bill Daley recall their most memorable games. The Gophers won another national title and went to two Rose Bowls in the early ?60s under coach Murray Warmath and quarterback Sandy Stephens, who became the first black quarterback to earn All-America honors at a major college. Warmath remembers the second Rose Bowl as his most memorable game. Other memorable Gophers featured include future NFL legends Bud Grant and Carl Eller and future NFL coaching great Tony Dungy.
