Well deserved win by the Gophers today.

Red Grange Brando’s close personal friend

They went to high school together

 

[Panthadad2]

I guess Vegas knew what was up. How do they do it?

 

[CentralGopher]

The Bert curse is over! That’s two top 25 wins in a season now too. Go gophers!

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Jah just told Fat Bastard to get in his belly!

 

[Ope3]

JAH Rules!

 

[Drake University Gopher]

When did we last beat a ranked team on the road?

And be favored! Gaining some respect and then delivering too.

 

[Wally]

PJ almost crying in post game, emotional one

 

[DEGopherfan]

I hate the prevent but it worked this time.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Both Jah and Danny were held on the play and both still made the play

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

Defense gave up some plays and then defense closes it out. Gophers probably stole this one, clearly late hit from Koi but we'll take it.

 

[Ski-UT-Mah]

I was so nervous on that Koi hit. That gets called every time

 

[Married@SiebertField]

Third and long....BRING SOME DAMN PRESSURE

 

[Schnauzer]

That was hard work. I need a shower

 

[GridironGus]

Currently alone in 5th place in the Big Ten

 

[Married@SiebertField]

The large simian is no longer depressing the spine!

Stole it? We were winning most of the game.

 

[stocker08]

The respect the two coaches have for one another?!? Haha!

I actually think that Fleck and Bielema have a pretty cordial relationship.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Good win. Excellent scoring drive by Brosmer to take the lead! He played well when it counted

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

I hate to say it but I think PJ's boneheaded fake punt actually threw the challenge to the offense and defense and they both rose to the occasion!

With the exception of that long IL touchdown run with 3 or 4 missed tackles, another outstanding game by the defense. Offense struggled through much of the game (Illinois DBs' style is still very physical) but they had enough in the tank to get it done.

 

[Panthadad2]

With the OSU/PSU going on at the same time, I'm guessing 3 people outside of MN and IL watched this game.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Joyner and Striggow both held on that fumble recovery.

 

[tikited]

Good win. Excellent scoring drive by Brosmer to take the lead! He played well when it counted

The throw to a held Jackson was money.

 

[GopherGold01]

Bowl eligible baby. Kesich MVP today?

 

[Gilthorp57]

I actually think that Fleck and Bielema have a pretty cordial relationship.

Bert is more cordial when he wins, does the drive by when he loses.

Hey now! I'm outside Mn......

 

[Panthadad2]

Yeah, that was pretty bad. It was like watching a game being broadcast by a local homer crew.
