per The Gazette:
For any program, taking the next step is essential. To reach that step, Gophers Coach Jerry Kill specifically targeted Wisconsin.
“Last year we were one game away from playing (for the Big Ten championship),” Kill said. “And, really, Wisconsin has been the one that’s kept us out of there. And I feel like we had a lot of success last year. We got three trophies. But we don’t have ... we haven’t had the Axe in a long time. I think that’s been the issue.”
Minnesota has lost 11 straight to Wisconsin, the most-played rivalry in Division I football. The Gophers led Wisconsin in the third quarter but was outscored 21-7 in the second half.
“How do you get over the hump? Got to recruit better players,” Kill said. “Players everybody gets fired up about the coaches and talks to the coaches. But coaches don’t win games. Players do. And I think our recruiting has gotten better, and that’s how we’re going to have to get over the hump.”
