OFF TO THE GLUE FACTORY:
SOUTH DAKOTA 41, MINNESOTA 38 (coverage)
Holy hell, Minnesota, you are a goddamn mess. 41 points to an FCS team? To an unranked South Dakota squad that went 5-5 a year ago and got crushed by Central Florida a week ago? With a quarterback making his second-ever start? Against UCF, USD QB Dante Warren went 10/19 for 104 yards, 0 TD/0 INT and had no rushing stats to speak of. Against Minnesota, Warren went 21/30 for 352 yards, 3 TD/2 INT and added 81 yards and two scores on the ground on 10 carries and made it look effortless. Jesus, Minnesota. The loss dropped Brewster's record against I-AA squads to a scintillating 2-2 and just 1-2 against teams from the Dakotas (and given how close they were to losing to South Dakota State last year, he's damn close to being 0-3 against teams from the Dakotas); Glen Maturi may want to rethink that whole "rivalry with South Dakota" thing. Up next: USC! Even the current depreciated Trojans should have a field day with this hilariously bad Gopher defense.
While we cherish the schandefreude of Minnesota losing to South Dakota, we cannot help but be pained at the knowledge that this may be the proverbial last straw for the Tim Brewster Era; WIN FIGHT TRY is making its seemingly inevitable transition into LOSE FAIL FIRED. If our rodent-loving friends had any faith left in Our Man Brew before the season began, it's officially evaporated -- they're just counting the days and pining over replacements now. "The Bank" was clearing out before the end of the third quarter yesterday and that's sure to be a common sight the rest of the year. If by some miracle Brewster is still employed next year, the Gophers' fancy new stadium is going to look like even more of a ghost town (though as Iowa fans seeking tickets, we fervently support this development). At this point, Brewster probably needs to win at least two of his remaining monster home games (USC, Penn State, Ohio State, Iowa) or the Wisconsin road game and, hey, didn't Kansas just provide us with ample evidence that "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE~!" is alive and kicking in college football? Sure, but Brewster-led Minnesota teams have never beaten a rival, never won a trophy game, and never beaten a ranked team. So it could happen. And our fantasy of becoming Roger Sterling could come true, too.
