#91 -- Minnesota's own Willie VanDeSteeg was a two year captain for the Golden Gophers. VanDeSteeg played in 44 games with 31 starts, and led the team in sacks and tackles-for-loss during the 2006 and 2008 campaigns, earning first and second team All-Big Ten honors. VanDeSteeg ranks fourth on the Gophers career quarterback sack list, and is the Gopher's all-time career leader in tackles-for-loss!

For tomorrow. The views are higher than last year, over 4000 so far. I think we peaked at 10k by kickoff. I bet we beat that comfortably this year. We'll see.

Logan Payne vs Purdue. One of my favorite games.
