Minnesota Golden Gophers History
The history of the Minnesota Golden Gophers football team is a tale of ups and downs, marked by significant achievements and occasional challenges. The team's journey dates back to its inception in 1882, with its first victory over Hamline University in the same year. The Gophers have been an integral part of the Big Ten Conference since 1896, playing a pivotal role in college football.
In its early years, the sport at the University of Minnesota had humble beginnings, with students initially playing recreationally. It was only a short time before a formal team was established, with the help of faculty members who had played football at eastern schools. The Gophers had multiple coaches during this period, reflecting the sport's evolving nature. In 1900, the hiring of Dr. Henry L. Williams as the first full-time salaried coach marked a turning point, bringing stability and structure to the team.
The Gophers reached their glory years in the early 20th century under the guidance of Coach Henry L. Williams, who developed the innovative "Minnesota shift." They enjoyed an impressive unbeaten streak and won three consecutive National Championships from 1934 to 1936. The team, led by Bruce Smith, secured additional national championships in 1940 and 1941, including Smith winning the Heisman Trophy in 1941. This period featured an 18-game winning streak.
Despite some challenging seasons in the late 1940s and 1950s, the Gophers returned to the national stage in 1960 by winning their seventh national championship. They also claimed their first Rose Bowl victory despite a second-place conference finish. Minnesota last secured a Big Ten title in 1967.
In recent history, the Gophers have had moments of resurgence. Notable seasons in 1999 and 2003 marked their return to prominence, and they moved to their new home at TCF Bank Stadium in 2009. The team faced challenges in 2006, resulting in a coaching change. Subsequent years saw shifts in leadership, with the Gophers making bowl game appearances.
In 2019, the Gophers turned heads with a historic 11-2 season, including a victory over a top-ranked Penn State team and their first 9-0 start since 1904. This recent success continues to build on the rich legacy of the Minnesota Golden Gophers football program, cementing their place in college football history.
