Joe Rossi and defense note from game notes

[swingman]

Joe Rossi took over the reigns as the Gophers defensive coordinator after Minnesota's 55-31 loss at Illinois last season. Since then the Gophers are 8-1. In four of those games (2018: Purdue, Georgia Tech: 2019 Illinois, Nebraska) the Gophers have allowed 10 or less offensive points. Minnesota did not allow an offensive touchdown against Illinois. It was the first time the Gophers have held a Big Ten opponent without an offensive touchdown since Nov. 10, 2012 at Illinois. The Gophers did not give one up against Nebraska until the fourth quarter. That touchdown stopped a stretch of 111:27 without allowing an offensive touchdown for the Minnesota defense.

Yeah but they allowed a touchdown from within the red zone in those two games so they aren’t that good.[emoji57]
