Can we hire Jamey Chadwell? This offense is giving Oregon all sorts of fits despite the talent discrepancy

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Yeah, better than our punt returner who lays down if someone gets close enough..

We never had Beanie return punts. I wonder why not? PJ's refusal to engage the kicking return game as an element of offense and field position is something that really perplexes me. Most teams, including top teams, actually engage in the return game, which makes me believe that the "numbers" do not say ignore the kick return game.

YTTV Multi-view actually has all the best games (ok only games) on. Nice feature.

How is LSU ranked 13?

Must be opt-outs/transferees/low motivation. SEC bowl game bingo

Tanner Mordecai is carving LSU up. He is 14-20 for 219 yards and 3 passing TDs ... at the half. Wisconsin receiver Will Pauling (transferred from Cincinnati with Fickell) is really good. We were unable to cover him in our game. He's got a few years of eligibility left.

SEC. It just means more.

They have less opt outs than Wisconsin. Broadcast made a point to mention it. Though missing Daniels is massive

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Uh oh. Iowa goes down 7-0.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Iowa receivers need to wash the bacon grease off hands. Not helping Hill out at all so far, and Hill already threw a Favre NFC championship-style INT at the TN goal line. They’re trying, at least.

Wondering what others here think about Irving's draft prospects if he decides to declare. Not the biggest guy, but after watching Aaron Jones last night, there's a place in the league for guys who have a great first step and versatility to accommodate various schemes.

I don't mind G5 getting a good bowl game, but liberty with the second weakest schedule in all of football ... is a fucking joke.

They should have snubbed liberty.

Down 31-6 at the half, even with a talent discrepancy, I'm not sure that's a good halftime result.

Go Gophers!!

Watching this amount of offense from Bucky is disturbing.

Thank god we didn’t hire him mid game

 

[SHGopher]

The Wisconsin-LSU game is entertaining.

 

[GringaGopher]

Oregon’s kicker is fat - dude you’re a D1 baller - save the roly poker look until your 40a.

Their unis are hideous; I’d immediately declare for the portal, if they wanted me to wear that eyesore.

Lol, OR = 10,000 uniforms n 0 Nattys . Their uniforms today look way too much like the Pac .

Definitely a blind spot for PJ

I stand corrected.... Wisconsin is folding like a cheap suit at the moment.

 

[SHGopher]

5 passing TDs (3 WI, 2 LSU), at the end of the third quarter, Wisconsin-LSU.

fWIW - when he signed, RIvals, IIRC, did an eval of all the recruits pro prospects. They had him listed as a 3-4 round pick out if HS.

He reminds me of a poor man’s Warwick Dunn - I’ll be surprised if he is selected and has a nice NFL career, barring injury.

Tough to say as liberty has dropped about 5-6 passes, including one for an int that was at least a 10pt swing, as well as a bunch of presnap penalties and some dropped snaps. Players doing themselves no favors. I’d still love to have chadwell run our offense as it fits what we can recruit extremely well

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

In the iowa game they rutm on 3rd and 8 for little gain, and the commentator said.

"I wasn't expecting that play call from Brian Ferentz"

Guies ... yeah you should have.

 

[SHGopher]

It's looking like Wisconsin may beat LSU. It's an entertaining game.





While Iowa slumps.

It's a weird game where plays are being made.

But it also looks like an incompetent slap fight at times too ....

 

[SHGopher]

Wow, this LSU-Wisconsin game is really good.

 

[upnorthkid]

The more you watch fickell coach the more you see he’s not a great game day coach. Why you’d think playing field position and for fgs against the lsu offense was a good call is beyond me

Yup I don’t know what he is doing.

 

[upnorthkid]

Going with his gut, which makes it all the worse

 

[GophersInIowa]

I feel like Iowa has a greater chance of getting 11 safeties than 3 TDs

 

[GringaGopher]

Hate cheering for Brian Kelly but……competitive game.
