ON THE ROAD

u Coach Kill has a knack for winning football games on the road. He has a career record of 53-50 on the road despite taking over teams that traditionally did not fare well on the road before his arrival. Saginaw Valley St. was a combined 18-8 away from home during the five years Kill was head coach. Emporia State was 2-3 on the road during both of Kills years at the school. At Southern Illinois, Kills squad lost its first 11 road games before going 21-10 away from home during the next five years. At Northern Illinois, the Huskies went 2-4 in each of Kills first two years at the school. In his final year, they were 5-2 on the road, which included a 34-23 win at Minnesota. The Gophers were 0-5 on the road last year, but are 1-0 away from home this season. u This weekend the Gophers are looking for their first Big Ten road win since they beat Illinois 38-34 on Nov. 13, 2010. Minnesota was 0-4 on the road in Big Ten games last season. A win this weekend would give Minnesota its second straight overall road win, which is something the Gophers have not done since 2009 when it won at Syracuse and Northwestern.
