per Neal:
On first down from his own 20 on Saturday, Northwestern quarterback Ryan Hilinski hit receiver Malik Washington with a 5-yard pass. Gophers linebacker Mariano Sori-Marin popped the ball out of Washington's grasp while tackling him. The ball bounced right toward Justin Walley, who collected it and raced into the endzone.
And there it was. You had to pinch yourself to make sure it was real. A Gophers defensive touchdown.
Anything is possible.
Every time Northwestern attempted to turn the momentum,there was a Gophers defensive player wagging a Dikembe Mutombo-sized finger at them. The Gophers defense set the tone for their 41-14 romp Saturday at Ryan Field, beginning with Walley's play.
More of that will be needed, as the 6-2 Gophers are alone at the top of the Big Ten West Division and will be fighting off challengers the rest of the season.

U defense gets its first score of season, and Gophers will need a lot more
You had to pinch yourself to make sure it was real. A Gophers defensive touchdown early in rout of Northwestern. More of that will be needed.
