Ever play electric football and try to pass? Mertz. I love this guy.

 

[60's Guy]

We need a Touchdown!!!!

 

[Word]

Ever play electric football and try to pass? Mertz. I love this guy.

He's almost as bad as Illinois' 4th stringer that we played. Or maybe he is just as bad (so far).

 

[Dano564]

We need points on this drive!

 

[Some guy]

Can’t run it every first down

That’s true. And we don’t!

 

[fmlizard]

What was your favorite part of the Graham Mertz as Heisman contender era?

 

[GopherGangsta]

Anybody get an explanation why CAB was returning kicks?

 

[Some guy]

He caught the ball at or near his head near the goalline. Cost some field position

It was a squib kick. You can’t fair catch after it bounces

 

[Word]

This kinda feels like a game where they should just stop playing and say neither team deserves to win

 

[Replacement Gopher]

That’s true. And we don’t!

We have since we tried to run out the clock at end of first half.

 

[Word]

Anybody get an explanation why CAB was returning kicks?

To try to get a good kick return.

 

[Some guy]

Anybody get an explanation why CAB was returning kicks?

Because some of the best players in college football return punts and kicks:
Devin Hester, Charles Woodson, Percy harvin, Ezekiel Elliot, Reggie bush.

You can disagree but it’s not as clear cut as you want it to be

 

[Some guy]

We have since we tried to run out the clock at end of first half.

Bad decision to run there.

 

[Tully55]

MO!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MirandaB]

CrAB is done

 

[upnorthkid]

Mo just churning. love it

Devin Hester very fast and elusive...CAB not

 

[koalasibala]

Wisconsin’s anemic offense is giving us so many chances to take full control - we NEED to capitalize on this drive.

 

[Markous15]

Please get points.

 

[gopherguy06]

Need to capitalize here

 

[Some guy]

Devin Hester very fast and elusive...CAB not

You just said he is one of our best players? Do you want to put one of our worst guys back?

 

[Word]

I'm ok with a timeout there ...important to score points and apparently Seth was not in the right spot.

 

[Bayfieldgopher]

This kinda feels like a game where they should just stop playing and say neither team deserves to win

Axe won’t allow that

 

[GringaGopher]

And here comes the TO. Hope we don't need it later and it results in a 1st down.

 

[GopherGangsta]

Devin Hester very fast and elusive...CAB not

And now he is out for the game because of that decision

 

[Some guy]

We have since we tried to run out the clock at end of first half.

I wish we would’ve thrown on second down there.


I just hope someday people stop claiming we go into a shell. We live in a shell.

 

[Some guy]

And now he is out for the game because of that decision

Yup.
We shouldn’t play any of our good players. They could get hurt. We should rest them in case we need them

 

[GRAB-THAT-MAN-AN-OAR]

4 down territory. Get it to 4 and 3 then go for it.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Need 7 here

In a hole, but the metaphor still works
