Ballsy play by Cal to go for the win rather than tie on 4th down in OT.

 

[stocker08]

Wow. Cal goes for it on 4th and 3 in OT.....down three and gets the touchdown. Ballsy move to take down (#15) Louisville

 

[stocker08]

We better beat the hell out of this dork Cal QB next year. Total dork.

Yep, and that makes the Gophers loss to Cal not quite so bad.

Announcer seriously said Nebraska/UCLA feels like a postseason game. Dohkay

Yea in 1987

 

[stocker08]

It makes me feel a little better....but it was still a bad loss. We made that team look way better than they were at that point.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Conditions were not good. Their offense can put up points.

I’ve seen them play 3 times this season, against Ohio State, Michigan and today, and they’ve put up 6, 7 and 10 in those games. Maybe it’s me.

The secondary especially when playing zone has been the team”s weakness.

 

[stocker08]

Passion for the game.

It just means more

 

[Rowthatboat]

Iowa has lost 12 straight to ranked opponents.

MN and WI are each 1-0
In last game against a ranked opponent.

Yes—but than again Iowa pounded both Wisconsin and Minnesota

 

[GophersInIowa]

UConn is not in the ACC of course.

Cal lost to SDSU 34-0 but beats #15 Louisville? It’s almost like one game has no bearing on other games. Go figure.

Another good game that didn't exist for me today cuz Disney cut off YTTV.

The Gophs need to get ranked before they play Iowa again. That will do it.

 

[IceBoxGopher]

UCLA just pulled within 7 of Nebraska. 28-21

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Lateef is better than Raiola. Hopefully he transfers out

 

[MNVCGUY]

Coming into the game tonight they had averaged 35.5 points a game and that included 2 of the 3 games you mentioned above. They can put up points. The weather conditions almost certainly played a big role in their struggles today.

We don't actually play Cal again until 2028. Though who knows, that QB could hypothetically still be playing for them then since I think he's a freshman.

 

[Great Plains Gopher]

Lateef is better than Raiola. Hopefully he transfers out

He was amazing. Raiola can't run, which makes the difference - Lateef hit 13 of 15 (3 TDs) and ran for 31, often escaping tacklers to complete a pass. Emmett Johnson (who should be a Gopher) had 129 running and 103 receiving for 232 total. How did the Gophers hold the Huskers to two field goals? Also, Kaliakmanis at Rutgers had one of his best days, hitting at 66%, 13 of 20 for 205 yards and 3 TDs in a win over Maryland.

23 from Grambling tried to look so badass while wanting absolutely nothing to do do with a physical altercation. Fortunately (?) for him a couple of his his teammates did.

 

[Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0]

UConn is not in the ACC of course.

Has there been a bigger group of underachievers than FSU lately?

 

[BigTenGuy]

Iowa has lost 12 straight to ranked opponents. . .

Iowa’s decline as a program makes the Gophers’ struggles against Iowa all the more frustrating.

Iowa is the third most big ten wins in the conference since 2019 I believe. Ahead of Penn state

Going unbeaten vs unranked teams is better than beating one ranked team but losing to two unranked teams

Iowa's decline? They've won 10 games 3 times over the last 5 full seasons.

They're from Seattle, where it rains 150+ days/year. They should be used to playing in bad weather. They're currently averaging 21.2 PPG in their six Big Ten games, which is 12th in the conference. They skewed their average by piling up a shit ton of points against bad non-conference teams, averaging 55.7/game, which is 2nd in the conference.

I see the excuses about Washington and Oregon being limited by bad weather and just shake my head.
