Trevone Boykin is a Heisman Trophy candidate and the Horn Frogs needed every bit of his 338 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns to hang on, 23-17.
Minnesota got a Mitch Leidner-to-KJ Maye touchdown with about a minute and a half left to get within six points, then had one final shot to tie/win the game, but could only get to its own 27 as time expired.
