per Sid:
U shuts down Taylor
The Gophers football team’s defense improved drastically over its final three games, including the dominant 35-17 victory at Wisconsin on Saturday.
After giving up an average of 507.7 yards per game in their first six Big Ten contests, the Gophers gave up only 305.7 yards per game over their final three.
And while Fleck continued to say former defensive coordinator Robb Smith did a good job coaching the defense, he said that now permanent defensive coordinator Joe Rossi game plans did simplify things.
“Joe Rossi did a great job in a difficult situation with a lot of challenges,” Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said Sunday. “We were a lot simpler. We allowed our players to play really fast and not think as much, and I think the results speak for themselves.”
And for Fleck, the biggest part of the Gophers’ victory over the Badgers was getting an extra month of practices because they are now bowl-eligible. Fleck referred to it as like having a second period of spring practice.
