MINNEAPOLIS — Max Brosmer passed for 271 yards and two touchdowns in just three quarters as Minnesota routed FCS opponent Rhode Island 48-0. Brosmer, a graduate transfer who led the FCS in passing yards per game last year at New Hampshire, completed 24 of 30 passes and helped the Golden Gophers dominate the time of possession by a 2-to-1 margin. Darius Taylor, Minnesota's leading rusher last year who sat out the season opener with an injury, rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 48 yards. Minnesota's defense held the Rams to 135 total yards and forced four turnovers. Sophomore quarterback Devin Farrell passed for just 76 yards for Rhode Island.
