Most important thing about Jerry Kill taking time off is that he's focusing on his health. Forget football. This is much bigger than that.

Kill: "This was a difficult decision to make, but the right decision…I have full confidence in Coach Claeys and them during my time away."

Kill will return when he has his seizures under control with the right medication levels. But nobody can know when that will be. #Gophers
