Kill trying to raise Gophers' confidence before battle with No. 16 Wildcats

The Gophers can clear up any confusion about the quality of their club this Saturday, at 11 a.m., in a road tilt at Northwestern. The Wildcats are 4-0 and ranked 16th nationally.

Jerry Kill has worn many hats in his five seasons as the Minnesota Gophers' head coach.

These days, Kill is a part-time sports psychologist.

Yes, Kill's Gophers currently possess a respectable, 3-1 record. Yet, Minnesota's players have heard criticism around town in the wake of two straight narrow wins over MAC teams. Thus, Kill has had to boost his team's self-esteem recently.
