per Neal:

You do not let a three-win Illinois team come into your house and row your boats. Illini coach Brett Bielema now is 8-0 against the Gophers, including his time at Wisconsin.

"There's been highs and there's been lows," linebacker Mariano Sori-Marin said. "At the end of the day, were going to stick together. This team is very close and we're going to get back to work tomorrow."

Work smartly, because the Gophers must enter the cauldron at Iowa City's Kinnick Stadium next weekend, where they have not won since 1999. They will need to exit with a victory to restore momentum as they chase a title. The Gophers couldn't have won the division on Saturday, but the result could be the beginning of how they let it slip away.


Go Gophers!!
