Going to be very hard to stop them as they can go for it on fourth down. Once again he could not have kicked that any more perfect.

Thompson with the pick, obviously OK after the big hit earlier.

OMG Wiziwig.TV just switched the game on me. I will now have to rely on the box score and commentary here.

Awesome to hear about the pick. Now put this one away and put the ridiculous superstitious meaningless halftime history thing out of it's misery. If we lose it now though I might start to believe.

QB sneak for 1st down. 1:10 going, time to kneel. We win, streak broken!

Wow, what a back and forth game that was. Great to be on top, would've been a heartbreaker to lose.

Streak ended just as I expected. I won't mind if the other side of streak stays intact forever despite the fact that I put no, zero, nada, none zip credibility to it.

Don't know if this win will put us into the top 25. We were a two TD favorite at home and won by one. Still it is a win and I will happily take it. Gophers have an opportunity to go to a nice bowl game this year. Shouldn't talk about it and jinx them though. So proud of Kill for putting faith in his kicker and team and sending them out for the long FG.

Nice win. I was concerned going in about this game as one that might get away. Forget the pregame point spread. This Purdue team is not that bad. They've figured out some things offensively in the past couple of weeks.

This Gopher team is playing with some heart. That's the big difference this year. They're starting to believe.

This game showed that these players have some of what Kill calls "havin some fight back in em."

Beat Nebraska, we win the West.

If it breaks right for Ohio State or Michigan State, and they crush us in the Big 10 Championship, they could be in the final playoff which would send us to the Rose Bowl.

As much as I'd like to see it, we are not currently a team deserving of a Rose Bowl appearance. I want a step up from the usual bowl, but I want a bowl opponent we can beat. Too big a bowl game will get us against a team with more speed than we can likely handle. We are among the best of the Big 10, but we are a far cry from among the best in the nation. Some success and some improved recruiting could continue to move the needle in the right direction, but we need to become a program that top athletes want to come to and that is quite a hurdle to overcome. Until we do, we can't be a program deserving of a top tier bowl game.
