BTN: Best of Week 1 (Weirdest Moment: MN going for 2), Grades (MN: B-)

[BleedGopher]

per BTN:

Weirdest moment: When the Gophers scored in the last 90 seconds to take a seven-point lead, Tracy Claeys elected to go for two to try to make it a two-score game. An extra point would have made it impossible for the Beavers to win the game in regulation. “My opinion is 95 percent of the time those teams go down and score late, they’re going to kick the extra point and go to overtime,” Claeys said. “So I would rather take the chance on getting three yards and ending the game.”

Defensive Players of the Week:

Minnesota DE Tai’yon Devers notched a pair of sack-fumbles, both of which led to Minnesota scoring drives in Thursday night’s win vs. Oregon State. Not bad for a freshman, huh?

Stock Up:

Minnesota. The Gophers opened with a big home win vs. Oregon State in what could be a Cinderella season.

Rutgers was losing 48-3 before some garbage points. Averaged 4.2 per pass and 2.8 per rush.

What earns a failing grade?

Dang the media just cannot get over this stupid 2 point conversion. Get over it, it's not a big deal.

Also, Wisconsin gets an A-?
