This win by the Gophers really surprised me.  I guess I'm somewhat relieved.  I would have been much more nervous about Michigan playing an improved Badgers for a second time this year.
A decade of Victory over Penn State.

All in since 1969

Some thoughts now that I'm sitting at my computer and working on recovering:
-What probably helped rankle him is that the Gophers won by giving the Badgers a big dose of their own medicine. Both Gopher lines bullied the starch out of their counterparts in white jerseys. I know some were saying that Allen was banged up and/or got hurt, but even if he was at full strength, he had nowhere to go. 47 yards on 17 carries isn't gonna get it done.
Allen was hurt early on, twisted his ankle. He had some nice long runs early.

As for PC and the program - two things.

New OL and ST coaches. ST coach ran the punt unit out.

Mertz will be fine. If not, Deacon Hill is waiting in line.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!
