Zook to fans: stand up and shout

October 7, 2008 12:12 PM

After challenging his players to make plays before 220,000 hostile fans on the road the past 2 weeks, Ron Zook put a challenge to the Illini Homecoming crowd for Saturday's Minnesota game.

"We need help from everyone in the stadium Saturday."

There may be some moaning from the masses because Zook actually suggested that the fans take it easy Friday night in preparation for the early game (kickoff is at 11:00am).

"We need to have the 12th man."

Zook expects the Gophers to come in emotionally charged, able to move the ball and ready to play.
