There was a (in my opinion) key play in the second half.
Fourth quarter, we're well ahead, but we decide to throw the deep ball to Bateman — which is intercepted — and Illinois roars back and scores a very quick TD.
Bearing in mind our defensive ineptitude from last week — and needing to control the football — Fleck puts Mo in on the kickoff return team.
Mo fields the ball on the kickoff, and returns it adroitly to near midfield.
Gophers subsequently score with a short field. Game (essentially) over.
More Mo, please.
If you have Earl Campbell, or Barry Sanders, or Jonathan Taylor... give... them... the... ball.
