I hope in this last 7:10 we don't see QB keep the ball on option... There goes that
 

Jones might be electric with ball in his hands on kick returns but catch the dang ball!

Meanwhile, another vertical route where our CB doesn't even turn around to play the ball.

Again. No flags have been thrown yet this year on minor contact. If the DBs are going to play "trailing" style only, I'm curious if this no-flag trend will continue once the $$$,$$$,$$$ schools are our opponents in B1G games. I'm guessing they won't hesitate to pull out the flags to bail out the big boys. The technique needs improvement.

Just want to say thanks for this. The level-headedness is a very nice breath of fresh air around here.

I have no idea who said it, but I love it: "Don't get too high when you're high; don't get too low when you're low".

no prob and that's a great quote. a win is always a win. michigan might not be quite so lucky with their sleepwalking
 






Ouch not a good day for Big Ten...Nebraska is getting trucked after being up 21-3 and Michigan is now losing to Akron with 5 minutes to go
 


Holy Akron! Goes to show anything can happen Big Ten season.
 


It's amazing to me that in the 1st half when we were struggling GopherHolers were in constant bitch mode with negative after negative, complaint after complaint so fast that I could not keep up. Now that we have things under control, the board is pretty quiet. That tells me all I need to know about the negativism here.

I was thinking the same thing. Funny how that works.

The Gophers have been notoriously slow starters the last couple of years. To do so against W Ill is pathetic.
 

It wasn't pretty but, all things considering (Kill and Nelson out), I'll take the win.

- Hageman continues to be a beast. He absolutely blew up the OL multiple times. The sack without he helmet was a thing of beauty.
- I like the creativeness of having Cockran being a spy on the QB. Good to see him get two sacks.
- Jones needs to field the punts, plain and simple. That's a huge difference in field position when the ball hits the ground.
- Maxx Williams is very good.
- Only two penalties again. I think it is becoming a trend.
- Impressive to see Aaron Hill run down a WR, regardless if it is W. Illinois.
- Leidner looks more confident passing the ball than Nelson in my opinion. I know it was only one game but that is my observation so far.

- I have a feeling that's going to be his go-to highlight play. It's just so indicative of the kind of player he is
- I wonder if that's why KJ Maye was fielding the punt toward the end of the game? Maybe the coaches are thinking Jones needs to start catching the kicks and are letting him know that he's not a guaranteed starter.
- I love Maxx. It's so huge to have a great TE in an offense like this.
- Smart football wins games. We'll see how we do once we're matched up against similar athletes, but this is a VERY good sign.

Leidner did look good, but I felt like they opened up the playbook a bit more for him. This was also against Western Illinois. Again though, he did look good, and it'll be interesting to see how the coaching staff deals with it going forward.

It did? I felt like they stuck pretty close to the same game plan. But I'm pretty weak recognizing my Xs an Os.

I believe both Maye and Jones were back to return on that one. They've been going with the two returners most of the year. They may have said Maye was the primary returner on that one though.
