He could be an awful good player ... I'm certainly pleased with his progress.
"People don't know how the physics department or math department really operate internally, but every day in the paper they pick up the results of sports," he said. The incoming director will have some advantages: a dynamic new football coach, Jerry...
Look for the University of Minnesota to hire the Parker Executive Search firm based in Atlanta to assist in identifying candidates for its athletics director job. The university used the Parker firm in hiring football coach Jerry Kill in 2010. Joel...
Kill doesn't have an easy job to do. Recruiting in Minnesota has a number of built in disadvantages: the talent base in the state isn't high (unlike Ohio and Pennsylvania) and the state doesn't border any particularly rich recruiting hotbed. The weather...
There aren't many teams in college football that go full pads on Tuesday and Wednesday ... I think it's made a difference in our football team. I think we tackle better. We block better. We've been more physical. I think that helps us.
The fans' enthusiasm was similar to four years earlier, when Tim Brewster unveiled a second recruiting class that ranked much higher than Kill's second group by analysts that work full time in assessing such things. If you had asked the Gophers...

There aren't many teams in college football that go full pads on Tuesday and Wednesday ... I think it's made a difference in our football team. I think we tackle better. We block better. We've been more physical. I think that helps us.
The first half was as good a football as we've played since I've been here. What I'm used to. That's why I'm kind of excited ... That's what Coach Kill is used to: A physical, hard-nosed football team that can run the ball and play defense. We tackled better. I think it's the way we practiced.
It's a big win for us ... It helps us move into the offseason.
We still have to learn how to play football
He had some good plays ... We needed that from him. I know he came here as a tight end and has been moved around.
I couldn’t be happier for the senior group ... They set the tone for us going forward.
We never put a limit on people ... We didn’t kick the ball off well at Northwestern. We challenged him and he came through.
The first half is as good as we played all season ... We all know winning solves a lot of things.
He some awfully good decisions today ... He is certainly getting better. (Quarterback coach Jim) Zebrowski has done a good job with him.
He could be an awfully good player ... I’m certainly pleased with his progress.
That first half was as good as we’ve played since I’ve been here ... That’s what I’m used to, so I’m excited. A physical, hard-nosed football team that can run the ball and play defense.

We still have a lot of learning to do ... We still make too many mistakes.
I don't know what happened, but over the last four or five weeks, it's just been different ... Intensity has been different, and several guys have dropped by to see practice, and scouts and things go, 'Hey, Coach, you'd never know you just won two games; boy, the kids are working hard for you.' And they...
We're taking baby steps ... If I'd have been a little bit better coach, maybe we'd have had a little more wins to show for it. But I do think we're making progress, and if I didn't think we were, I'd tell you, but I think we are.
We've gotten better because the kids haven't quit on us ... I told (the seniors) all along, we're here trying to turn the program around and you're the beginnings of it. … Certainly the last four or five weeks, I think our kids finally understood how you have to practice to be successful.
