Thanks. That's interesting. I wonder how many times we had more than one missed tackle on the same play.

I knew that we did not tackle well as another Gopherholer previously posted. I am familiar with norms for several stats, but could someone give me an idea of what is typical in a D1 game? I know that zero missed tackles would be preferred, but that's a tall order.

Fully agree with both statements. As I have been harping on lately, our margin for error is just too small to overcome multiple mistakes vs. a solid opponent.

Yes, we aren't good enough to win if we don't play well against a quality opponent. Fleck also mentioned that we do not have much/any margin for error. That has been the case for a long time, Kill used to talk about margin for error too. We just can't make the stupid ones, like illegal...

I can't blame the ST coach too much for second the missed field goal, but how the hell do we line up in an illegal formation twice on punts (I only remember one, have read that there were two)? The one I recall cost us a fumble recovery! Getting a punt team aligned is not rocket science. Our...

I gave him a "D", but its only one game. After 3 or 4 games we will get a better picture. Premature to give a grade, certainly not a final grade. He'll have better games. Go Gophers!

Hmmmm…..surely has no escapibility.

Why oh why do I care?

We always have been late adopters.

Great idea! Do the Gophers have one of these babies?

Yes, Go Gophers! I have great anticipation to see what the defense does. My guess is that that there will be some hiccups. I want them to "play fast' but not so fast that they quickly take themselves out of position. Go Gophers!

In a funky way, I think that I could enjoy seeing either NDSU winning, or losing 63-0.

Yes, lightening sucks. From a player's standpoint it may not be a huge issue, other than for QB's and maybe receivers. Throwing a wet football is a real struggle for some people, Troy Aikman for instance. Anyone who says its not a problem to throw a wet football never played QB. Now, from a...

Flying in Thursday. Supposed to land at about 2:30. Hoping to dodge poor weather then and for the game. Sounds like a pipe dream right now. Go Gophers!

They might be lazy, but what they write has a ring of truth to it too.

"Hampton runs for 200 yards, Gophers 0-1." I hope that I am wrong.

Mason's last game, vs Texas Tech. I was furious!

And still managed to win. They made it tough on themselves for sure.
