Rossi ready for 2019
Gophers defensive coordinator Joe Rossi took over that position on an interim basis in November last year before being given the permanent job three weeks later. In preparing for the Gophers' spring football game Saturday — moved to the team's indoor practice facility because of the weather and no longer open to the public because of limited space — Rossi said he is ready for a tremendous season in 2019.
There was a lot of evidence for why Rossi quickly earned the full-time job.
Before coach P.J. Fleck's decision to fire Robb Smith and promote Rossi last season, the Gophers were 4-5 overall and allowing 31.8 points per game. They were 1-5 in Big Ten play and had allowed 43.2 points per game in conference games.
After Rossi took over, the defense really seemed to turn a corner. The Gophers won three of their last four games, including at home against Purdue, at Wisconsin — which ended a 14-year losing streak to the Badgers — and a 34-10 triumph over Georgia Tech in the Quick Lane Bowl.
