Well, certainly Purdue did more dumb things. The halfback pass intercepted by the Gophers was so unnecessary...so dumb.
They could run the ball at will but fell in love with the pass.
The two face mask penalties were Gopher luck...without them we would have needed to make another play or two.
This should be a good thing for the Gophers! So many times a team that climbs into the polls feels the pressure and gets knocked out. The Gophers were gifted some juice to victory.
Matt Rhule has the highest buyout of any college coach....unless he has a Penn State dream school clause. Not sure you pay that plus Franklin/s money plus new guy money.
I believe on a number of throws the receiver did not execute their route properly. We throw before the guy turns around by design. If I reverse pivot on the wrong foot I'm going to be three yards away from the ball....these types of things happened a lot during the evening. Much more bad...
I am not an offensive line analyst at all but ... I didn't think there were any holes for Mo Ibrahim to run through either. He hit the line quicker and identified a tiny crease instantly and then broke tackles. It seems we are hitting the line slower and its just a pile of bodies...could we...
The list has a few ommissions...just off the top of my head
No Ben McCollum, No Tom Izzo, No Todd Golden...three guys who get a lot outta what they got I'd say.
Yup, my wife drags me to a barn wedding in Iowa....I snuck away to listen to the second half on the car.radio which was parked in a hilly grass field. A couple car rows away the noises of "Yessss!! Yess! DON'T STOP!!!" were interrupting my concentration.
Morgan and the Gophers kept...
