Wisconsin 31, Minnesota 21

The Gophers concluded their 2015 season today with a 31-21 loss to Wisconsin in Minneapolis.  The Gophers conclude their 2015 season with a 5-7 record.  I was hoping for better but considering the Coach Kill resignation, all of the injuries and their lack of depth, they finished about where they belong.  I'm confident they will improve next year though, their schedule is much easier and they did get a lot of guys some very valuable experience.

Observations:

• Briean Boddy-Calhoun couldn't have played that pick-6 any better. 
• The interior of the Gophers defensive line was in a shambles.  
• KiAnte Hardin appears to have a knack for returning kicks. 
• Why didn't the Gophers use any of their timeouts to close the first half? 
• You're not going to win when you keep fumbling the football. 
• The Badgers didn't need Corey Clement today. 
• I think that De'Vondre Campbell will be playing on Sundays. 
• Credit where credit is due, Wisconsin's defense is good. 
• Nick Rallis flashed late in this game.  
• Time of Possession:  Wisconsin 40:35, Minnesota 19:25
• Turnovers:  Minnesota 5, Wisconsin 1
• Pass interference most certainly should have been called on Wisconsin late.
• Worst decision by the Gophers this year?  Not redshirting Demry Croft. 
• The Gophers need to find a way to improved their pass rush next season.  
• Perhaps the Gophers should have guarded Alex Erickson closer on third down.
• Injuries have really decimated this Gophers football team. 
• The Paul Bunyon Axe remains in Madison for yet another year.  
• Five wins could still get the Gophers to a Bowl game. 
• It was nice to see Jerry Kill on hand for Senior Day.  
• You can't tell me that the B1G Network can't do better than Matt Millen.
• I can see Wisconsin DC Dave Aranda getting a head coaching job soon. 
• Up next?  Oregon State in Minneapolis to kick of the 2016 season.
