per Chip:
P.J. Fleck’s program grew up Saturday. His team played big-boy football. Tough, physical, confident, opportunistic football.
The Gophers stormed into a house of horrors and left with a bowl game ticket and a rivalry trophy missing for so long that it had become merely a rumor.
Gophers 37, Wisconsin 15.
Enjoy it, Gophers fans. That’s not a misprint.
No fluke, either. The Gophers dominated their rival in a manner that left no doubt about which one was the better team at Camp Randall Stadium.
“What a game,” Fleck said.
More than a game, this marked a pivotal moment for Fleck’s program, and not just because the Gophers became bowl eligible, though that certainly represents a tangible sign of progress in Year 2.
It was the kind of statement victory that makes believers of skeptics. The kind of win that should jumpstart woeful attendance. The kind of win that gives credibility to Fleck’s unabashed positivity and insistence that better days are coming.
