Week 9 Other Games Thread

[Stuff]

I'm having a hard time deciding to pull for Northwestern or Nebraska. The gut says Northwestern.

Nebraska scores first 7-0

Watching Cal stumble around with Va Tech makes my stomach turn. Why oh why do we have to have at least one game that defies reason, for a loss, every year?

I mean it’s pretty hard to sweep every team you play that has a similar level of talent.

So weird seeing an FBS grass field at Purdue. I miss it. Both So Cal schools used to have beautiful grass fields but I think they're both turf now.

Cal got shutout by an average G5 school the next week 34-0. I think its safe to say we shit the that day.

Neither UsC nor UcLA have turf?
Or are you talking about someone else

My bad. Grok said both the Coliseum and Rose Bowl had turf now. I was a bit shocked. AI still has work to do.

The Northwestern QB has quite a windup for a major college QB.

Hold the A

How the Gophers could lose to Cal will occupy my brain for far too long.

It took a series of missteps … and an abominable pass defense. Truly swatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Nebraska scores first 7-0

7-6 now a few minutes before the half,

Unreal how Nebraska is Nebraska-ing

To me they look like a competent real offense. Northwestern looks bad

1 point game

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Indiana is doing what Cignetti likes to do. He came out swinging and is up 28-0 against upstart UCLA still in the 2nd Q. He puts so many games away—renders comebacks almost impossible—before the other team has even fully waken up, It’s amazing, really.

There is no reason to allow a kick or punt return ever.

I’d rather kick out of bounds on any kick than allow a return.

Can’t let iowa have even 1 yard of returns.

Nebraska just returned the 2nd half kick for a TD.

The Northwestern QB is about as accurate as Carson Wentz.

 

[GopherVotary]

Ole Miss defense actually making plays and getting stops.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Was going to post something similar. He is not good.

 

[Stuff]

Nebraska fans are going to be delusional about how good their team is again, but this is a lot about Northwestern QB and special team failures.

San Diego state has one loss.

San Diego state has one loss.

Look at the records of their last 3 opponents and then report back.

I just combined the two and used a search engine’s AI. According to googles AI, Huntington bank stadium still has heating coils under the turf.

Q: does huntington bank stadium have heating coils under the turf?

AI Overview

Yes, Huntington Bank Stadium has an underground heating system to prevent freezing
though it uses artificial turf and the system is designed to keep the field from freezing, not to make it a warm grass field. The system uses a glycol-based heat solution pumped through 38 miles of Aquatherm pipe.

That settles a hotly contested GH debate.

Look at how we did vs Rutgers and Purdue and then tell me you’re shocked and appalled how we could drop a game vs Cal.

No thanks

Joey Freshwater decided to go for it on 4th and 1 inside their own 25, didn’t get it. But Oklahoma loses 9 yards on 3 plays and settles for a FG.

But what about Coyles? The debate continues......

What a horsecrap call on the spot that gave Northwestern a first down.

 

[Gopherchase]

Gotta move on.....Drake's first road game, late start, no DT......frustrating as hell because it was a winnable game but we didn't get it done.

While not overlooking the obvious mistakes the players made that was our yearly example of horse shit game planning and coaching against the non conference team

 

[MGGopher]

What a horsecrap call on the spot that gave Northwestern a first down.

Agreed. I can understand not overturning the first down, but to not even move the ball and remeasure was mind-boggling. The WR clearly didn’t possess the ball until he was down around the 26 (and I actually think he was short of the 26), and yet they kept the spot at the 25. Crazy.

Coleman Bryson getting some run for the North Carolina cheaters.

Don’t recall seeing him in any other games I’ve seen this year.

 

[Xerxes_]

The battle to be the 16th best team in the B1G is pretty entertaining. Rutgers takes the lead and Purdue follows it up with a long kick return.
