ESPN: Season wrap: Minnesota (O MVP Cobb; D MVP Hageman)

[BleedGopher]

per ESPN:

Best moment: The Gophers’ 34-23 win over No. 24 Nebraska. It was Minnesota’s first win over the Cornhuskers since the 1960 season, and Nebraska had dominated the series, taking care of Minnesota by an average score of 40-9 over their previous 16 meetings. It marked a huge momentum swing for the Gophers, who would go on to win their next two conference games. It was also the Gophers’ sixth win of the season, making them bowl eligible. “The way Coach Kill runs his programs, we knew that we were going to have success, and it was just a matter of time before we really started rolling,” quarterback Philip Nelson said after the game.

Decent writeup though I would disagree on the worst moment. I don't think anyone really expected us to beat Wisconsin so I would rank the performance against Iowa to start Big Ten play and the loss to Syracuse in the bowl game ahead of getting beat by Wisconsin.

I also disagree with the worst moment. Iowa/Michigan losses were much worse.

Citing that we gave up 324 total yards to Wisconsin? They averaged 283 per game on the ground alone.

It's probably the worst moment nationally cause that was the point anyone paid any attention to us at all. Iowa and Michigan were just business as usual to everyone else. The verbiage of she used of allowing the Badgers to "rack up" 324 is ridiculous, as noted above, that's a pretty darn good defensive effort.

Yeah should have just quit after writing that the offense struggled and the only points that were scored were scored by the defense. No reason to make it seem like the defense was part of the problem against Wisconsin because it definitely was not the defense's fault
