If any consolation, SB Nation at Black Shoe Diaries offers this: "And what happened on the field was Penn State running into a rested Minnesota team, coming off a bye, that, realistically, could be 8-2 if not for some self-inflicted wounds earlier in the season (and a screw job by the refs as...

Sounds about like the performance of a middle-of-the-pack program... The counter-statistic would be performance against teams with losing records.

Still give the A but agree that it just didn't look right as they finally lined up. Apparently though it is Coach's call each 4th down as to whether to explicitly play for a fake or not. Coach's individual call in that circumstance is an F. Truly a brain fart if there ever was one.

Gameday conditions in Madison appear similar to yesterday but about 10 degrees chillier. Overcast but no precipitation chance to speak of. Fine with me. Let's not have conditions influence the performance and play for this last game and the better team that day win.

Totally agree. Coach treats every snap as a unique event and fails to account for the initial conditions coming into each snap, especially performance wise. Similar to his thinking that each game is a one-off championship season. Don't know if his mom took away his lollypop randomly when he...

Just watched the first half on the VCR and our running was better than it seemed in person. I think when Tailor gets holed up for a 1 or 2 yard loss just stuck in my mind like Rutgers but that was not the case. Will have to watch the second half tomorrow and see if my thinking changes...

The Football Gods could chime in but won't this time. We now know PSU is the real deal while USC is not. Like Coach said in the presser that was a heck-of-a football game. We came out on the losing side but could have just as easily got the W. As to the original point, play at this level...

Billds were there in person too. Never felt like the Gophers would put it away. D kept us in the game but the O just couldn't quite get there in the second half. PSU's No. 44 is the real deal. The closest thing we've had like that player since I've been a Gopher was Maxx. Tough loss but...

Contrarian as I am went with an A. Since this is a coaches poll, fact is Franklin was glad to get out of there with the W. As usual played 'em tough and it was defense that kept us in the game. Offense had its chances but overall coaching was not bad.

Lions had to earn it while Gopher errors lost it.

Was in the living room. Was on the phone with an Atlanta friend watching the end. Priceless. Went nuts. First significant win for Mason.

I'm hoping we end up partying like it's 1999 again to 24-23 good guys...

Certainly a Gophers W will go down in the books as a unanimous upset from bookies to press to general prognosticators...

Certainly more than a nibble...

That is not good. Really thought the October run might have provided that extra push but maybe not.

Eight Injured with Field Storming II for Gophers Win Over PSU

Sounds like the O-line better show up or big trouble ahead. This is very important for any running game success. Still hopeful but if Max is running for his life early may be a long day. Ski U Mah.

The Football Gods chime in...

Went with W. Why not now? Why not us?

I wonder what turf he covets now...Rose Bowl won't quite "cut" it... Wish him luck nonetheless...
