Describe the Gophers loss to NW in 1 sentence?

[gopherbadgerman]

You can’t sugarcoat a shit defense

 

[Catechol]

Northwestern tried to apply a handicap to the game by repeatedly kicking it straight to Perich.

 

[Tim from Rosemount]

One word: Pathetic
Two words: Not Elite

 

[Raindog4]

Started slow, put the pedal to the metal, hit the brakes, accelerated, repeat; like a spastic guy driving a muscle car.

 

[everybody knows my name]

Isn't it obvious at this point that our defensive coordinator and our field goal kicker suck more ass than Richard Simmons?

Texan Gophers getting personal with the kicker again. Criticize the coach, and point out mistakes or failures by the team, but don't take personal shots at these young men.

You might need to put a cork in it till you sober up.

 

[caliGopher]

Sometimes, when you play not to lose, you lose OR live by the sword, die by the sword.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

The combination of our DC and the surrender whites is quite awesome for our opponents.

 

[XMan]

525 yards given up defensively is unacceptable.

 

[FlaGopher23]

So glad I went fishing today.

 

[Arminius]

Regime change in your mirror is closer than it appears.

 

[FanSinceTheFifties]

The Gophers allowed NW to pass effectively due to poor coverage and no pressure on the QB.

 

[gwbbfan82]

Gopher football taps women's soccer team for a kicker.

 

[BronkosGhost]

The Gophers didn't lose this one because of a lack of NIL money.

 

[BronkosGhost]

Some people wonder why we weren't rated.

Count me as one of those who didn't wonder.

 

[fmlizard]

It's hard to believe it's the same pass rush from week to week.

 

[Laker]

Pinstripe bowl here we come.

 

[Ski-U-Mahed]

How was this DC and kicker our best options?

And both those decisions circle back to a head coach who routinely makes made decisions with those two positions.
