per Judd:
Doing what the Badgers had done to them so many times before, the Gophers did not let Wisconsin get it hands on the football much in the second half. Minnesota ran for 152 yards on 33 rushing attempts and got two fourth-quarter touchdowns from running back Bryce Williams. Both of Williams’ scores were set up by Hornibrook turnovers.
The Gophers finished with a time of possession advantage of 35 minutes, 6 seconds to 24:54 for the Badgers.
A year ago, Wisconsin came into TCF Bank Stadium and cruised to a 31-0 rout of the Gophers that put an end to Fleck’s first season in Minnesota. That left the Gophers with a 2-7 record in the Big Ten, a defense that gave up 70 points in its final two games and an offense that scored zero.
A year later things aren’t perfect when it comes to Fleck’s team and there remains plenty of work to be done, but what happened on Saturday in Madison at least could be considered a definite sign of progress for a program that needed it.
