Biggest concerns going into Saturday?

1) Taking UNH too lightly
2) Penalties
3) Losing anyone to injury
4) Gray's confidence or him being worried he has to prove something and make bad throws
 

It ain't none of my concern.
Just watchin' your Mustang burn.
 




Having to stare at the ugly tents in the beer garden for 4 hours.
 

Dealing with the clusterf*** around the stadium from construction.

How is this QB more legitimate than UNLV's? Both are freshmen.

I wasn't basing my opinion on experience or age I based it on one QB completing 45 percent of his passes and the other completing 68 percent.

After additional thought it could simply be one freshmen debuted against a big ten school and the other against Holy Cross?
 

My biggest concern as always is that we might overlook another quality 1-AA opponent and have that bite us in the rear again, and I think that's what every 1-A team playing a lower level opponent has to guard against. We've unfortunately seen that happen to the Gophers far too often, and from up in this neck of the woods, I saw the U-Maine Black Bears go down to Starkville and beat Mississippi State in '04, and then two years later go into Boston and nearly beat a 10 win Matt Ryan led BC team, and then last year, nearly knock off Pitt on the road. I was just reading about the Maine-Boston College game tomorrow, and the BC coaches concerns their team will simply take that game for granted and assume an automatic home victory, simply by virtue of playing a team from a lower level, and undeserved overconfidence can just kill.

The upshot to me is that these New England teams can be a real pain in the tookus and should never be taken lightly. I don't think Coach Kill and Co. will allow that to happen. I think we'll be focused and ready to play, but I'm also mentally prepared for what might be a highly competitive game.
 



If any of the freshman students actually show up at 11am on a Saturday and use their free tickets, will they be perceptive enough to also understand that they're supposed to be rooting for the Gophers and not obliviously playing Angry Birds III on their cellphones?

This an advantage the Gophers have; hard to overlook a 1-aa team when you have a record of losing to those types.
 





I would love to see mg have a big game and turn this into a blowout. Get Max and the scrubs some reps.

Go Gophers!!*
