per Dienhart:
This was a program-defining win for Minnesota under Jerry Kill’s watch. But really, it was much more than that. The Golden Gophers’ 34-23 upset victory over No. 24 Nebraska was a testament to the foundation that Kill has laid since arriving in the Twin Cities in 2011. It also embodied the toughness Kill possesses as a coach and in his fight to control his epilepsy.
“I think this victory says a lot about our kids,” said acting head coach and defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys. “We talked about how Nebraska had two weeks to prepare and we’re not sure what we’re going to see from the other team, and Nebraska came out right away and got after us. Our kids kept staying positive, though and we moved the ball while taking some time off the clock and allowing the defense to regroup. I told the team to play hard and do their job and when they look up in the fourth quarter they’re going to have an opportunity to win and sure enough we did.”
