***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT NEBRASKA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[USAF]

Tanner apologists will blame WR on that one

There's plenty of blame for both to get some

 

[Gilthorp57]

4th and 1 they know they can't get it. Of course now a timeout so maybe the ladies change their mind

If we run to the right, we're screwed

 

[PMWinSTP]

He means read option.

I know. Gophs don't run the read option.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Love the 3 yard pass

Thrown behind the wR so he couldn't get OB and costing us 40 seconds. Not bad.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

I’m sitting outside enjoying a warm 66 day and starting to shake my head cold.
I’m Golden

 

[CurveballJesus]

Not that it matters, but that was textbook targeting

 

[Grant]

We need a transfer qb big time. The North Dakota guy did well against Nebraska.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

I know. Gophs don't run the read option.

Not all the time, but we run the play on occasion.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Its funny to think that at one point some people thought Morgan could play in the NFL. Nice guy, but not a very good football player.

Funny how much better a couple of all big ten receivers can make a QB look

 

[stocker08]

Interesting to see the contrast between the opinions of coaches and broadcasters and some posters here.

The contrast is that the coaches and the fans see the games. The broadcasters looks at stats and box score.

 

[Section 100]

That can't be good for Morgan's head. Nebraska guy crushed him with the crown of his helmet.

 

[rivergopher]

He legs and arms. It’s. It hard to see when you watch him play.

So the 42.3 completion percentage and 3 ints has you convinced. We have not had a qb complete an nfl pass since what the 70s? OK

 

[Jack jones]

Puke, puke, we need NEW offensive and defensive line coaches. We couldn’t block EP let alone a big ten team. Our defensive line has to be least athletic line in college football. The Tommies have better down line than the Gophers. Sad

 

[BTChamp]

Get on the horn and call up ol Jer for some halftime advice Peej

He is the fixer by the way

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Nebraska 3 punts averaging 53 yards. Minnesota 4 punts averaging 38 yards. That is an issue for a special teams coordinator that’s been there since 2017 and from what I can tell has never had his job come under fire. That even though Minnesota specials teams has been terrible since he got there.

 

[fmlizard]

I never thought I would call for this while Morgan was healthy, but it’s time to try Athan. Something has to change.

 

[saintpauljeff]

ESPN game cast trying to have mercy

View attachment 21603

Whoa, I guess they really did predict the future too

 

[beavergopher]

Pj will milk the clock to shorten the game in the sexy half

 

[rivergopher]

We need a transfer qb big time. The North Dakota guy did well against Nebraska.

I agree we need a lot but I think you need a veteran QB.

 

[FlaGopher23]

I don’t disagree but at the same time it’s also easier for fans to say this. A coach has to manage a team so if they think Morgan gives them the best chance to win, then they’re probably going to play him. It isn’t always a great thing to start playing for next year if you’re not in a full rebuild.

After watching Tanner and you think he gives this team the best chance to win, you need new glasses.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Agreed but never going to happen.

Agreed and that’s why Fleck will never be a Top 20 CFB coach - he’s 2 much of a wuss to actually eat the tough conversations.

 

[tikited]

Iowa and Wisconsin are going to absolutely crush us. I hate this season.

 

[PMWinSTP]

Yes, but if the QB isn't a threat to run, it's just a long, slow developing handoff giving the defense a chance to load up on Mo.

Then the ball should be pulled and passed. That's how it works.

 

[GoodasGold]

Gophers have ten yards with 6 minutes left in the half. Hard to top that for ineptitude. Since Nebraska knew exactly what we would do, why not surprise them with something different and not have a half like this?

Wait’ll the second half. We’ll cream them!!

 

[GophersInIowa]

On many early downs they’re playing a safety over the slot about 10 yards away while the CB plays press against the outside WR on that same side. Tanner could literally just throw it immediately to the slot and it should be a minimum 3-4 yards.

 

[kg21]

Tanner Morgan has not thrown a touchdown since September. Holy Shit Balls

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

Can we get Caillou off the field before he gets hurt?

 

[metrolax]

A QB has to provide the spark to the engine, and there is simply no spark...at all. Chances are slim that AK can lead the team back today, but chances are nil with Morgan. Its just not there unless something drastic happens

 

[MirandaB]

Our OL is making me sick.

 

[FanSinceTheFifties]

The contrast is that the coaches and the fans see the games. The broadcasters looks at stats and box score.

That kind of suggests that we're measuring the wrong things in those stats.
