I think it is fair to say most of us didn't have high expectations going into the Ohio State game. OSU are the defending National Champions, it feels like they've never lost a B1G game, the Gophers were 23 point dawgs and the game was being played at the Shoe. The odds were certainly stacked against the Gophers. With everything that has gone on with the Gophers the past two weeks, my fear was it would be too much and they would get embarrassed. However the Gophers hung tough and fought until the end.
One of the things I came to respect from Jerry Kill lead teams is they would fight until the end.
