per Sid:
Gophers football coach Jerry Kill blamed the 33-17 loss to Missouri in the Citrus Bowl in Orlando on Thursday on the failure for the team to execute and for his team’s five fumbles, including three lost.
“I say all along you run into games like this,” Kill told reporters after the game. “They had some tricks up their sleeves, and they executed them. And the bottom line is you can’t turn the ball over and you have to win the turnover battle.”
Mitch Leidner lost two fumbles, including one in the second half when the Gophers trailed only 19-17.
“I don’t think there’s much he could do about it, you know. And we had a little bit of a letdown in protection, but I thought he improved today, threw the ball,” Kill said of Leidner. “Our future is good, but it’s disappointing, and it will hurt, but we move on and we can’t take away from — we haven’t gone [to a Jan. 1 game] in a long, long time. And I thought our kids would be a little bit tight today, and they weren’t. They went out and played hard. so it’s another step then and we’ve just got to keep moving forward.”
