Did he ask the ref if he was on the line? That’s typically how it goes — turn to the ref, signal you intend to be on the LOS, and you get a yes or no. If he didn’t and was 1.5 yards off, then it absolutely should’ve been a penalty.
It was a super disappointing season, and I think Fleck deserves some of the blame…and I won’t begrudge you for assigning him more than I (or others) do. But in retrospect, it’s tough to win games with a pretty awful QB and your top offensive player hurt much of the B1G season. Plus the defense...
Absolute STUD and has been for a while. I agree with Noel that Jah gets held a TON but still has multiple big pressures per game. He’s definitely going to be drawing an NFL check a year from now. Edge players are just so valuable at that level. Let’s enjoy these last 6-7 games with him!
He’s not a very good zone RB. He’s a super explosive athlete who hits a hole if it exists, but I just haven’t seen the ability to read interior blocking.
Frustrating series of events at the end of the half obviously. Taylor so irresponsible not having two hands on the ball and not knowing when to go down. Blatant hold in front of the head official that isn’t called. Their kicker nails a career long 54 yarder into a swirling wind. Argh.
But hey...
I mean I got what they were doing trying to get one first down so USC wouldn’t get the ball back. But then unfortuantely they got the ball back in another way. But yeah I would’ve liked them to go tempo like most of us and just let Brosmer cook.
The 3rd down conversion was frustrating because it was a horrible spot and there was a missed tackle behind the line, but the story of that drive is USC gashed MN on the ground. If they can keep any semblance of a run game going, MN is screwed with Moss throwing it.
They think they can run the ball on USCs statistically not great rush defense. I really hope they adjust quickly and go tempo like everyone has been calling for if the run game falters.
Stripe out looks good on TV despite what looked like a somewhat light crowd towards the corners. Nice job to those who followed directions lol! Hope it looks as good in person…and it’s loud!
Like everyone else, I hope the “questionable” Walley can go tonight. Nice that Robinson, Green, and Gousby are absent from the injury report.. JLR was a surprise I think, but I haven’t followed the news much. USC stud LB out as expected.
Nobody will find out about any injuries until 2 hours before kick, I can pretty much guarantee that lol. I know this: if both starting CBs are out, I can’t imagine a scenario in which MN wins. If both play, I feel good about the chances of a win.
