That was a grown-man drive by Penn State

It's pretty hard to be critical of KOC at all, but he seemed oblivious to Darnold's struggles tonight. KOC should have dialed things back with more runs and short/quick passes to get Darnold into a better rhythm, but he just kept dialing up more long pass plays. It's like telling a batter who...

This is the story of the game. If our offensive has a weakenss it's pass protections. Detroit did everything they could to exploit this, and they did by getting all kinds of pressure on Darnold, and we consistently responded with... long-developing passing plays. We just kept sending Darnold...

I predicted this more than once. Who is the NCAA to say how long someone can play college athletics? College is turning into another pro League. The logical step of the future will be for non-students to be allowed to play.

Terrible play calling by O'Connell. Darnold is obviously off, and our coach is trying to have him pass his way out of his funk. Which you can't do when you can't protect him. We need more screens or quick hitters to counter Detroit's pressure to help Darnold find himself.

When was the last time there were this many Gophers in the NFL? Seems like every game I watch I see someone, which is seriously at odds with history.

I agree with this. To me it looked like the Texas guy was just trying to make a normal play and heads just ended up in the wrong spot. You also have to consider the speed at which that happens, people are in the air... I didn't see anything malicious about it.

I'm for any future monopoly gets Chris Fowler off the main play-by-play duties.

This has been a gripe of mine for years. Football is a game of substitutions and injuries. If you want to occasionally run a quick play to try to catch the other team off guard, then fine. But real teams will be able to beat you man-to-man without resorting to that. If you're going to complain...

First play of the drive their QB ran backwards a bunch before getting sacked. They mostly recovered from that, but had a 4th and 1. Think of Iowa's offense the past few years, and then take that same level of ineptitude and channel it into a QB sneak. That was their final offensive play.

Wonder if the announcers will ever realize the laces weren't out the holder said "I'm sorry" to the kicker?

Who is telling every coach in the USA that solid color unis are so cool? They all suck.

Oregon's offense is peaking at the right time. Really impressive job by them.

May as well just do Rock-Paper-Scissors after the 5th OT.

You can bring a flag with your logo to a road game, but don't you dare bring it to midfield if you win. One of the unwritten rules of sport.

When was the last time a Big Ten game was this lopsided?

Iowa state's uniforms are embarrassing.

#35 for Michigan hurling the gatorade bottle was the best pass they had all day.

By my count we ran 10 times on first down and only got more than 2 yards on three of them. Between that, and running on 1st and 10, 2nd and 11, and 3rd and 9 in PSU territory before settling for a FG, I'm disappointed we picked today to try and be a running team again. We just aren't that good...

As it relates to National Titles, Nebraska is in the Minnesota Gophers year of 1987.
