***OFFICIAL GOPHERS AT NORTHWESTERN BIG TEN OPENER IN GAME THREAD!!***

[MadtownGopher]

You gonna back that up or just bury that prediction in this thread?

You have to score points - we don't.

 

[GameDay]

I'm sick of Leidner at this point. Yes, I know it clearly isn't all his fault, but he's doing nothing out there. Time for Demry, Perra, whatever...

 

[GophersInIowa]

I AM MAD, SUPER MAD, WHY DO YOU HANDICAP YOUR TEAM WITH LEIDNER? YOU KNOW HE CAN'T PASS AND CAN'T RUN, YET INSTEAD OF REPLACING HIM, YOU JUST THROW THE GAME AWAY AND HIDE IN THE CORNER IN A FETAL POSITION. WHAT IS THE POINT? DON'T EVEN COME OUT FOR THE SECOND HALF, JUST TELL THE REFS YOU GUYS GIVE UP.

It would also help if you even gave him a chance. If you're going to live and die with Leidner, at least give him a shot.

 

[Replacement Gopher]

I don't think I've watched a worse Gopher offense and have been following the team since they beat Lavar Arrington.

Are you watching the game?

 

[jaymil]

The offense has been atrocious, it's clear the game plan coming in was to win this game with a score of 10-7, 13-10, etc.

But, that Mortell punt was killer. If he hits a good punt we're likely sitting 3-0 at half with a good chance to win. Now, it's not looking good.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Kill doesn't have the guts to fire Limegrover. Kill has given Limey a great career, he should just step down.

Goblirsch insinuated, IMO, that maybe it goes beyond Limey. As in Kill orders it.

 

[MNGoldenGophers1]

U knows it bad when they start talking about Jersey

 

[Sparlimb]

Pathetic.

 

[gopherncostarica]

If we're just going to do that on offense, might as well take a knee to help prevent injuries.

[JZsportswhiz]

11 pass attempts, 31 yards and a turnover

How can a QB start 3 years in the B1G and be this incompetent?

Well then in that case it's time for a change. 5 years of this offense and I've seen enough.

 

[46Gophers]

Worst Gophers offense I've seen since... 1995? Maybe?
Brewster fielded better offenses than this. Kill always had good offenses at N Illinois and it didn't take 6 years to do it, what the hell?;

Chandler Harnish I believe was his name. Kill needs a decent dual purpose Qb and he doesn't have one in Leidner.

This. So much this. If he's your guy, then let him throw. If he can't throw, find someone that can.

 

[MRJ]

If I'm Fitzgerald, I'm licking my chops to get back out there for the second half. Gopher team and coaches are scared spitless on offense. No threats anywhere. Open it up on offense, score a few more times and blow Kill's team apart.

 

[Sparlimb]

I don't think I've watched a worse Gopher offense and have been following the team since they beat Lavar Arrington.

Fleetwood had more yards passing in that game (probably on the one 4th down throw) than Mitch through the first half today.

 

[rivergopher]

Hey now they averaged 21.25 points a game in conference no chance of that this year with Leidner.

I believe this based on limeys offense when kill was out

But here's the thing... the Offense was more open earlier until Leidner threw the INT. So it's a chicken/egg thing.

So change the QB then.

 

[Replacement Gopher]

Our offense is bad. Our o line is bad. Time to make a change in the guy who coaches them both. He should get one job, not two, starting next year. He can report directly to new o coordinator.

 

[Myke]

I'm for moving on from Limegrover but it can't happen until the end of the season because promoting someone from within will change nothing. They've all been together so long that they share the same philosophy. Kinda stuck with this offense for the rest of this year.

I can't figure out why this staff couldn't find a Juco or grad transfer QB.

who cares about an interception. give leidner better options than a damn out route.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Please stop chanting Jerry's name at home games. Thanks.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

The inability to get plays in leading to serial unnecessary timeouts is a symptom of the coaches arguing, vs Limey can't decide. Seems like the former is more logical. It happens far too much to just be a brain fart...right?

 

[GophersInIowa]

This. So much this. If he's your guy, then let him throw. If he can't throw, find someone that can.

The only time we throw beyond 5 yards is when we have to. It's pretty easy to defend. I'm not defending Leidner and I'd be okay with Croft getting a chance, but the play calling isn't making it easy either.

 

[mcal24]

I blame the playcalling and receivers more than I blame Leidner, but that said it's time to mix some things up. #InCroftWeTrust

 

[Sparlimb]

Our OLine sucks and Leidner can't hit the ground with a pass. So more options don't do **** with him. He's not the answer, but evidently they feel no one else they've recruited is either. So we have nothing to switch to.
