Impossible to single out one person, or even one unit. A HUGE TEAM WIN.

I'll give it to Dpo since he has been so quite lately.:cool03:

I would say Parski, because he has been dead silent.

Pretty good team win. Does Cobb run for 183 against a top 10 FBS defense without some blocking? He is a beast. He is arguably the best back in the B1G. There are a lot of great components to this team with a secondary that might be second to none, stout LB play, some receivers starting to get in the mix...I'm pretty jacked.

I was going to suggest Kill but then your Soupcan banner reminded me that Kill is not fit to coach.
 


I don't think Kill and Limey fit the model for Most Valuable Player.
 




Has to be the entire team. This was a total turnaround from the TCU game and it took the whole team to do it.

Michigan may not be playing well, but they have some very good players. The team fought through early struggles and a scare when Gardener came in to the game, and kept playing hard the whole way.

This was a team win, including the players and coaching staff, both preparation and execution.

Agree. I can't think of one player that really carried the team. The team played well across the board.

I chose Cobb just because he is the most visible, put up the best numbers, and has more or less made himself the face of the team over the last five games.

Big 10 Game ball number one to David Cobb, because he played like the first true Big 10 back we have had since Laurence Maroney and Marion Barber III.
A close second MVP and another Big 10 game ball would be the play of both #46 Cameron Botticelli and #55 TC, Cockran played like the guys they are capable of being. The final
Big 10 game balls number three go to Peter Mortell, for fantastic punting.
The honarable mention Big 10 game balls go to Damien Wilson and Zach Epping for taking on blocks and kicking their guys butts a lot this game.
Zach Epping he is my kind of football player, the kid is playing with a bad wheel and he played as hard and as tough as anyone on the football field today.
I don't have to mention #88 Maxx Williams because everybody already knows how good he is and that he has an NFL pedigree.

All three of these guys with the first three game balls are going to play football on Sundays in the NFl. Say what you will about the Brewster but he gets a shout out, he did'nt have the skill to be head coach in the Big 10 because he wasn't ready, but he did have enough eye for talent to pick these three guys out and get them to come to Minnesota and be Gophers. This current staff is developing them into players that likely well could play on Sundays. I have to think the scouts are taking notice of Cobb, Epping and Botticelli and that TC is already on their radar along with #31 Eric Murray.
All three have god given talent and are good football players, but they are learning enough in college that will prepare them to be Pro Football players.
I would bet a lot of money that people are finally realizing that #46 Cameron Botticelli is one hell of a football player. Now the task at hand is going to be keeping Tracey Claeys in the fold as defensive coordinator for a couple more years until the Gophers have turned the corner completely, because he might just be showing he is good enough, and ready to be a head coach. Freshman defying there youth #22 Craig James you can tell he is already special because he is wearing the #22 made famous by TC and LoMo and Gaelin Elmore, and Steven Richardson JR. Elmore and Richardson had an impact on todays game and these guy's are true freshman, Coach Kill hooked a couple really good players in those two, they are going to be special along with Celestin the linebacker. Man there is a lot of youth on this football team and the future is bright.
Mitch doesn't quite get a game ball yet, because he can and will do better. Mitch knows he can play better and he will do that he will earn his Big 10 game balls against Iowa and Nebraska this year.

It's amazing how much NFL potential is on the D.

Murray
Cochran
Wilson
Campbell
Botticelli
Myrick

Elmore, Richardson, and James are beasts that will be on the radar too sooner than later.

And likely others.
 



I chose Cobb.......but you could make the case for five or six different players.
