EP's roadgraders completely controlled Lakeville North in a 21-3 matchup that wasn't as close as the score indicates. They only passed 2-4 for less than 15 yards; the rest was ground and pound. Time of possession in second half was incredible; LN never had the ball.

I think you nailed most of the opportunities the Gophers had to put the game away, but the one that really torques me is the 4th and 12 with a totally cold second string QB practically in his end zone throwing the rock. The absolute time to send in the cavalry and put pressure on him to make a...

On a day when Wisconsin and Nebraska lost we took the conservative approach again and lost it. We had all kinds of opportunities to put this game away but questionable play calling and our typical problems of not catching "catchable" balls, AK throwing it 125 mph to an open TE or skipping one...

I just returned from the game. Rossie didn't jam anybody on 4th and 12 on the Illinois 8 and the Illinois guy caught the pass surrounded by five Gophers. Then the next one, the same thing. On the TD play once again no jamming their #1 receiver, #1 and the safeties both committed the original...

I expect EP vs Lakeville North to be a real slugfest, a "slobberknocker" a la BIG 10 games.

Like I said....stranger things have happened on a football field....and with November weather.

I went with 3-1, BUT if we play OSU in a raging blizzard, with howling winds, and low temperatures negating Mr. #18 and our run game is alive you never know. Stranger things have happened on a football field. Having said all that I hope we play Wisconsin for all the West marbles after getting...

Just remember in all of this analysis, the Gophers have to be beat Big Bad Bert FIRST! which has been difficult for PJ. Next CHAMPIONSHIP GAME for the Gophers is Illinois..

What cold? Gopher second half performance caused a lot of jumping around and the blood flowed!!

Yes!

I would be very surprised if anyone beats EP this year. They would have to beat Lakeville North, Maple Grove and Lakeville South in succession, in all probability, and I don't see that as a problem unless the team suffers a lot of injuries. I continue to be amazed at their OL's size and ability...

Progressions, footwork. And get rid of the sidearm throwing.

A W is a W not matter how ugly. BLTs for everyone, with double bacon.

A W is a W no matter how ugly. BLTs on the way home.

Stan the Man! I like his prediction that the Gophers will find a way at Kinnick this year.

I've watched EP this year. Their front OL is massive and they have a number of RBs. Their QB is an accurate passer and an above average runner. EP is weak on the perimeter on defense and their intermediate pass defense, 10-20 yards, is suspect. I expect them to make the Final two come November.
