Lot of fun plays from the game last night. Thought it would be interesting to post a poll to see what everyone's favorite play was. My vote goes to Kingsbury launching Johnson and getting the sack.

2 picks allowed

Can you change it to allow multiple selections?

I’d pick all of them

There was an Ijeboi run where he moved the pile like five yards that summed up the game pretty well.

That one didn't quite make the cut but I considered it. Jalen Smiths catch and run where he went across the field, evaded some tackles and got the 1st down was another. Too many to choose from.
 


Given that Kingsbury looks like the runaway winner I just changed it to allow you to make 2 choices :)

Hard to pick just one, but that throw and catch between Lindsey and Brockington/ Wow!!!

Agreed. Brilliant play call.
 

What did Ijeboi do wrong on a play that blew up that sent The Drake into fits? He went after Ijeboi at least 3 times in the huddle time after the play. Ijeboi would disengage and Lindsey went back at him.

Ijeboi was pulled but don't know if he was in the doghouse with the coaches. Fortunately he came back.
 

The Darius Taylor 71 yard run.

It was important because of the Gophers' inability to run the last two weeks, and it was funny because Taylor (who I love) got chased down from waaaay back.
 

It’s close between the DT run and Kingsbury’s blitz for me, but the 71-yard run takes it for me because of what it represented. It showed that we CAN run the ball and still take advantage of Taylor on that side of offense, and that this unit is at its best when it can be a dual-threat offense. It really made me confident that this could very well end up being the best offense we’ve seen from this program since 2019.

When I saw the replay he went out left to run a pass route instead of staying home to pick up the blitz (which came from his right)
 


Glad to see Karter Menz get a vote. He popped in a game earlier this year and he had a really good game last night. Could be a really good player for us.
 

I liked that they ran DT to the middle for the final FG, making it easier to make and ending my anxiety.
 


I voted for the Lindsey/Brockington TD, it's really for that entire drive which was the length of the field.

First Gopher possession of the 2nd Half. It was a clinic, including a 4th Down conversion as well as chewing up 9 minutes of clock to go up by 8. Never looked back.

Bonus, happened in the End Zone by my seats.
 

Kingsbury.

How could anyone not vote for that? Makes me smile every time I rewatch it on YouTube. :)
 

Sacks were great.

Drake’s fade was beautiful too. A throw the overhyped Raiola can’t make.

But I went with DT’s run. In a season where we’ve struggled to run the ball, it sure was cathartic to see DT break that one loose.
 


i'm surprised Menz sack isn't getting more love, he trucked a RB trying to block him then threw down cos playing Mahomes

I'm an idiot, I had the menz and kingsbury sacks mixed up
 

While it honestly is hard to choose, but one play that has not gotten as much attention is the first Brockington catch. We were deep in our own territory and on third down Lindsey zipped it into a very small window for a Le'Meke catch and first down. The 98 yard drive (the defining sequence of the game) never gets going without this play.

Maybe that one play had an outsized impression on me, but overall it seemed like Ijeboi had some good gains after contact in this game (while protecting the ball).
