Minnesota 13, MIchigan 42

The Gophers drop their second straight, losing 42-13 to Michigan today in Ann Arbor.  The Gophers fall to 4-2 on the season.  No Jerry Kill on the sidelines once again for the Gophers today as his seizure problems continue.  This is honestly getting a bit troubling, that's twice now in their last four games.  As much as I like Jerry Kill, it may be time that he step aside and focus on his health.  It's really not going to help the program moving forward to have this hanging over their head.  The play of the team on the field isn't helping Kill's case either.  Craig Bohl anyone?

Observations:
  • The Gophers offense does seem to run smoother with Mitch Leidner as QB.  
  • Drew Wolitarsky is a pretty big target.  Get him the ball! 
  • The Gophers play calling is just way too conservative.  No killer instinct at all.
  • Cameron Botticelli is probably the most underrated player on the Gophers squad.
  • Once again, the Gophers pass rush was very quiet. Way too much time for Gardner.
  • Time of Possession:   Minnesota 33:48, Michigan 26:12
  • Maxx Williams has the makings of a pretty good TE. 
  • Michigan looked bigger, stronger and faster than Minnesota.  Hit the weight room guys!
  • Chris Hawthorne did a nice job kicking the ball. 
  • Why does Michigan QB Devin Gardner wear number 98?   
  • The Little Brown Jug stays in Michigan, for the 23rd time in 24 years/39th time in 42 years.
  • Up next?  @ Northwestern in 2 weeks.
