per Sid:

“When you play a quality opponent you have to make plays,” said Kill, pointing to the fact that the Gophers passing game definitely missed leading receiver Derrick Engel, out for the season because of a torn knee ligament. Without him, Nelson completed only seven of 23 passes for 83 yards with a long of 31 yards. The only Gophers points were scored by the defense, on a 39-yard interception return for a touchdown by Aaron Hill.

Kill was proud of that defense, which held the high-scoring Badgers to only the one second-half touchdown.

The 12 seniors who were honored Saturday should be proud of how they finished their final home game, and regardless how they come out at Michigan State, a good bowl invitation awaits them.

Go Gophers!!
 

Hats off to our seniors.

But compare Wisconsin's seniors to ours, and therein lies a story.

I think the Badgers front seven started 6 seniors and a junior.
