per Randy:
Last January, Kirk Ciarrocca faced a formidable challenge. He had to find a way to deal with Wisconsin’s defense. As Western Michigan’s offensive coordinator at the time, he had mixed results, with his upstart Broncos falling 24-16 to the Badgers in the Cotton Bowl.
Nearly 11 months later, Ciarrocca has a similar challenge with the Gophers, who face No. 5 Wisconsin and its lock-down defense on Saturday afternoon at TCF Bank Stadium.
“That was a good defense, a really good defense, but this is a better defense,” Ciarrocca said, comparing the 2016 and ’17 versions. “Their coverage is better, their interior defensive linemen are better and their linebackers have always been great.”
