I know we have not beaten any great teams but the defense has been playing really well all season and has kicked it into a higher gear during conference play. Rossi has done an amazing job since he took over.
Winfield is playing like an All-American and we are getting contributions from guys all over the defense. We are also consistently getting to the QB and making them uncomfortable which has not been the case around here for quite some time.
Our D is not going to be confused with the top units from around the country but they are playing really solid football and deserve far more credit then they have been getting.
Leading up to this game we had fans all over talking about how we were going to struggle with Maryland's playmakers and the D shut them down, the same way they shut down Purdue (with the exception of 2 late scores in garbage time), Illinois, Nebraska, and Rutgers.
4 tough tests left in the regular season but I have confidence in our defense to rise to the challenge and do enough to give our offense a chance to score enough points to earn the W.
Bring on November! Go Gophers!
