***OFFICIAL GOPHERS BUCKEYES IN-GAME THREAD***

How close were we to blocking that punt in the first half? It looked like we could have tackled the punter from my view in the stands. Did I have an optical illusion or was it some type of miracle that we didn't block that punt?

I'm way late to the game, but where was Donovan Jones today. I didn't see 1st half.

He was benched for disciplinary reasons for a series or too, then he was too sick to play.

I'm sure getting aggravated with the pro-Ohio fans and press. Every account I've read has asserted that the Gophers only hung with Ohio because Ohio gifted us with so many turnovers.

I thought maybe I hallucinated a competitive game, so I checked the box score and confirmed what I thought: Ohio had three turnovers (one int and two fumbles) and the Gophers had two (two interceptions).

So the game was competitive, it wasn't all about turnovers, and the OSU crowd is trying to sidestep the fact that Minnesota played almost as well as the Walleyes.
