per Chip:
Steven Richardson played like a wrecking ball Saturday. Every snap, he delivered 300 pounds of wallop.
His disruptive pass rush resulted in two sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He helped spearhead a dominating defensive performance by the Gophers in a 29-12 win over Northwestern in the home finale.
Richardson wasn’t finished at the final horn, though. The defensive tackle carried a large chip on his shoulder into the postgame interview room.
“You know how it kind of went down,” he said.
No, do tell.
“I was like really lowly recruited based on height,” said Richardson, a Chicago native who is generously listed at 6 feet. Wink, wink.
“So I saw that guy come into my high school coach’s office and just look me up and down and just look at me like I’m way too short to play the game,” he continued. “It was really nice to play one of these types of game in front of him, just because he doubted you.”
Richardson later acknowledged that he was referring to Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald.
