per Sid:
Based on the performance of the Gophers football team in losing 30-7 to Texas Christian and completing one out of seven passes in beating San Jose State 24-7, nobody in their right mind expected coach Jerry Kill’s team not only to beat the Wolverines, but to dominate them both offensively and defensively like no Maroon and Gold team had done since the days of Bernie Bierman and Murray Warmath.
Yes, this is certainly not one of the great Michigan teams, with coach Brady Hoke on the hot seat, but still the Las Vegas sportsbooks had the Gophers as nearly a two-touchdown underdog.
The 30-14 Gophers victory in Ann Arbor was a big surprise, especially considering Michigan had won 22 of the previous 23 meetings.
Yes, some of the fans and even some in the media campaigned for Kill to give up coaching when the Gophers coach had his seizure problems a year ago.
