First quarter

"The Gophers are the better team right now. I repeat: @GopherFootball is the better team right now. #minvswis."

@BillSou

"Got a text from Laurence Maroney on Cobb breaking his rushing record: 'What a hell of a season and congrats on breaking the record.' "

@chipscoggins

"The Badgers can show up anytime now."

@Jthiermann5

"Huge penalty on Minnesota, and huge stop by the Badgers. A TD there would have really put UW in a hole."

Jason Galloway

Second quarter

"Cameron Botticelli is a BEAST! #Gophers #SkiUMah."

@kirkalurk

"#Badgers kicker is from Brazil, but his body is so Wisconsin. #gophers"

@GRLitman

"I'm completely shocked that conservative playcalling comes back to bite the #Gophers at the end of the half..."

@njrowan

Halftime

"Only way Melvin Gordon can claim #Heisman is if he has a lights-out second half against #Gophers."

@Football_com

Third quarter

"Momentum is shifting! Not looking good for the #Gophers #MINNvsWIS."

andy_abramson

"I can confirm the press box shakes during "Jump Around." Was not a problem on my last visit to this press box in '94."

@JoeChristensen

Fourth quarter

"I would not complain at all if the gophers do not attempt another pass this game. #brutal."

@bert580

"YOU'RE DOWN BY 2 SCORES WITH LESS THAN 5 MINUTES LEFT AND YOU PUNT IT?! Just give 'em the axe while you're at it #Gophers."

@Kitty_McCallson

"I don't like how the gophers are just trying to survive...YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME #TryToScore."

@AndrewBregel

"Wisconsin always has a second-string running back waiting to rip through a defense."

Star Tribune Live Blog

"4 straight incompletions for Leidner. Welp."

@chipscoggins

"Only concern now is that the Gophers clear the field in a timely fashion lest any feelings get hurt when the Axe comes out."

@ButtersBC

Postgame

"Jerry Kill's Gophers have been 20-0 when leading at the half....until today."

@deptulahasrage

"Gophs are going to play a ranked SEC team in the outback bowl and then open up next year with TCU. This team will be ready to brawl next year in the B1G. Take that to the bank."

"I am glad I stuffed myself with turkey....I knew there was zero chance I would eat crow."

"Great effort by the team today, containing the guy who can't be completely stopped. Unfortunately Wisconsin is just too deep and we just don't have enough QB play to overcome such a good team. Another step forward this year; great season Gophers!!"
