Yeah, this game against Wisconsin will be really hard. I have a lot of road games left, so it's going to be really hard to continue playing this well.

Thanks for checkin' in.

Gophers Pull Off Upset!

The Gophers were supposed to get slaughtered against Wisconsin. The Battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe seemed like it was going to be an easy win for the Badgers, but the Gophers were able to overcome the opening kickoff fumble by Troy Stoudermire. The Gophers haven't been able to gain control of Paul Bunyan's Axe since 2003. This is a huge win in Madison, and could set the stage for a memorable season.

After fumbling the opening kickoff, it seemed like this day was going to be doomed, but the offense would respond and tie the game at 7-7. The Gopher's defense held strong throughout the entire game stopping the Badgers' offense multiple times within the red zone. It was a huge team effort, however, even with all the stops, the Badgers were still able to put together an 80 yard drive to cut the score 21-19. The Gophers defense would hold strong, and get a sack on the 2-point conversion try. After the onside kick was recovered by the Gophers, 3 QB kneels sealed the deal.

@

The Gophers go to Purdue and hope to continue a stellar start to the season.

Haha, you've seemed to have no trouble before, so it shouldn't be too big of a challenge. Good luck!
