per Sid:
You have to give Jerry Kill and his coaching staff credit for adjusting defensively to stop a Boilermakers team that led 31-20 at halftime while generating 304 yards of offense. In the second half, Purdue was held to 147 yards and one touchdown, as the Gophers shut down the Purdue passing game and quarterback Austin Appleby. After halftime he was 4-for-10 for only 18 yards, and he threw the interception to Cedric Thompson with 2:28 left that just about wrapped up the first second-half comeback for Kill with the Gophers in 22 chances.
Before Saturday, under Kill, the Gophers had won every game they led at halftime and lost every game where they trailed. This victory gave Kill a career winning record with the Gophers at 23-22.
Kill talked about how he approached the team at halftime while trailing by 11.
“I said, ‘Hey men, this is going to define who you are,’ ” he said. “Can you fight back from adversity? Can you fight back through some tough things? You’re going to do it your whole life.
