Philip Nelson pass for 6 yards, David Cobb run for 1, Nelson pass incomplete, punt.
Cobb rush for 9 yards, then for 6, then for 2, Donnell Kirkwood rush for 5, then Isaac Fruechte fumble.

Its been one day shy of three full months since Kill last coached on the sideline for Minnesota, which was Sept. 28 against Iowa.
