Had a few?
35 points notwithstanding, 14 of those were basically from special teams.
The offense was decent today but definitely not above criticism.
Again, neither the punter, kicker, or kick returner punched those touchdowns into the end zone. Collins deserves everyone's wrath today, not Harbaugh.
With ZERO improvement all season!
Wait till after whiskey game till you defend Harbaugh..my guess you’ll want his head on a chopping block. But I hope you’re right.
How hot is his seat in Miami?
I'm going to say not very hot. Miami has probably the best Defense in the ACC.
I'm fairly consistent with giving credit when it's due and being critical when it's not. Harbaugh is allowed to call a decent to good game and deserves some credit when he does, such as today. Yes, he's had some head scratchers this year, but again, this wasn't a "little sisters of the poor" defense we were facing. If you give the guy good pieces, such as a balanced offensive line who can both run and pass block and skill players who can avoid injury (looking at the rb stable), he can call the types of games that keep us in the upper third to half of the conference in the W/L column.
A kickoff return to the 5 yard line in my opinion, special teams gets full credit for a TD. A muffed punt inside the 30, I give special teams credit for at least 3 points. No question the offense was better than the defense but it required unexpectedly good individual effort by Lindsey and WRs. Also Northwestern best pass rusher was out so he had loads of time.
I agree. Offense was bailed out by Kio early and NW muffed punt later.
Why not Jeb Fisk?
She's probably still a smoke show at 81.
Excellent? It’s ranked 16th or 17th per player in the conference.
We can't afford tennis balls.
we will never when with this elementary clown as DC. Nor will we win with the clown OC
We will never when…
I mean has anyone ever seen him and Rob Smith in the same room together?
Robb Smith is the Defensive Coordinator for Rutgers and the Gophers played Rutgers this year. So in theory they were both at Huntington Bank Stadium this year.
Smith is just a whisker less than a a full foot taller than Collins, but they certainly do seem like twin spirits.
Not in the same booth…
Despite PJ’s habitual slow start, the Offense averaged 6.7 yards per play for the game (with an ineffective run game)! No turnovers. Threw downfield. Scored 5 TDs. All in only 19 minutes of possession time! Sorry, but against NW’s defense that is a straight A. Koi had 242 kick return years today. That’s an A++. There are HS FG kickers (and probably kickers on our bench) more accurate beyond 40 than the Gopher's, and with a kicker of simply average accuracy the Gophs might well have won this game.
