***OFFICIAL ILLINOIS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[BTChamp]

OK, 1st beer is cracked, lucky shorts in place, lucky hoodie in place. Let's go Gophs!

 

[Gilthorp57]

Shit!. Just saw the first of a long line of commercials with that blonde dork with the blonde dog selling insurance.

Any Bell and Howell commercials yet?

 

[BTChamp]

Any Bell and Howell commercials yet?

Haha, not yet. I need my Tac glasses too.

 

[ProfessorBum]

don't really like that last play call (quarterback run).

 

[ProfessorBum]

ugh. well, that interception is just a bad break.

 

[nitramnaed]

UGH!

 

[BTChamp]

Not a good start

 

[Tully55]

Tipped ball

 

[stocker08]

Hopefully we aren't going to do the run, run, long third down pass offense all day.

 

[Tully55]

Big OL for ILL

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

Can't read too much into the first few plays. But defense looks good.

 

[gopherguy06]

Seems like a lot of chase Brown today. Hoping our run D is up to it

 

[saintpauljeff]

Gonna get pounded today

 

[Nax5]

Beating us at our own game so far.

 

[theTurning]

Sigh

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

I hope MN didn't sleep on Illinois.

 

[gopherguy06]

I hope MN didn't sleep on Illinois.

Yeah hope not looking ahead to Iowa

 

[BTChamp]

Well, shit!

 

[goldengophers]

Sconnie light here

 

[nitramnaed]

Wow! Our D needs to tighten-up a bit.

 

[DocfromDarwin]

So much for stopping the run

 

[gopherguy06]

TD Illinois 7-0

 

[Replacement Gopher]

Please don’t make the game plan real simple real fast like we did against Bowling Green

 

[cjbfbp]

But defense looks good.

I beg to differ

 

[GopherFanatic19]

need to wake up

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

Yeah hope not looking ahead to Iowa

This is the type of game to do it on. Had a few nice wins in a row. Offense and defense clicking. Taking on a 3 win team at home. We can sleepwalk through this game. Yikes!!!

 

[Gopher028]

Gophers: We're ranked now, we can stop playing football....

I mean, it's just Illinois. No need to do anything but RUTM and miss tackles, right?

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

I beg to differ

So do I.

The Gophers have become predictable facing a team that mirrors them. I hope that they have the passing RPO working. This may be a game where you rely on your ability to score with the pass to set the run.
