Defensively, Chris Bergin has 79 tackles on the season, ranking him second in the nation with 11.3 stops per game. He has at least eight tackles in every game, including a season-high 16 Saturday at Michigan.

. Going back to at least 1942 again, Minnesota has never had five individuals record 100-yard rushing games in the same season. In fact, Minnesota is the only FBS team this season to have five different individuals reach 100 yards.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Kramer hit 100 yards before the year is up as well.

I like this list. I hope Bielema stays out of the way. (Why would anyone want to play for the putz???)

Big part of Wisconsin success was built on recruiting Illinois so well. He has built his staff with the idea of doing better in-State.

MJ Anderson out of St. Louis has been a nice piece as well...just across the river in Missouri but an area Illinois wants to do really well in.

Should be a lot of family and friends in attendance from Illinois in Evanston...nice trip for the Indiana guys as well (Otomewo, Booker, Lewis).

I was thinking the same thing. He’d have to break off a long one to make it possible. Or perhaps a TM2 injury would result in him getting extended run.
