Blake Cashman became the first Gopher since 2002 to record at least 20 tackles in a game.
Senior linebacker Blake Cashman made 20 tackles against Northwestern last Saturday. He also added 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack and one pass breakup against the Wildcats.
Cashman's 20 tackles were a career high and came during his last game at TCF Bank Stadium. The Eden Prairie, Minn., native started his career as a walk-on, but is leaving a legacy for the Gophers. His 20 tackles were the most by a Big Ten player in a non-overtime game since Ohio State's Ryan Shazier made 20 against Indiana in 2013. Cashman's 20 tacklers were the most by a Gopher since Eli Ward had 22 against Wisconsin in 2002.
Cashman's 20 tackles set a TCF Bank Stadium record for a Gopher and are the second most in stadium history behind San Jose State's Keith Smart's 21 tackles in defeat in 2013.
