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

XP missed, as expected

I don't F'ing believe it, but I should. We deserve to lose this game.

 

[GopherFanatic19]

Of course missed XP

[Gophergrandpa]

Tricket ain’t the ticket …

 

[cjbfbp]

because the o-line was playing really well and the run game was working....

Obviously they don't pass block consistently as well as they run block.

 

[saintpauljeff]

Good job avoiding the shutout

 

[kix4kix]

LOL

We LOOK TERRIBLE

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Man oh man

 

[rowdaboat]

Shouldn't even need a deliberation to go for 2 there

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Do CAB is out and the sideline reporter doesn’t find out why?

 

[ForecastingAWin]

Go for 2 there. Set up a win.

Pro teams are employing this concept all the time now. Thats what stats say to do. If you don't get it, you have another shot to go for two. Odds are you get one of the two chances. Completely agree with you. Go for 2

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

How did one of the best kickers in college football two years ago become one of the most mediocre this season?

Not enough water squirted in his face during practice kicks?

Concussion almost certainly based on how it looked.

 

[howeda7]

Won't matter. We're not getting the ball back.

The card didn't call for it!

There should be enough cow shit thrown at him during practice this week.

Especially when your kicker has a 25% chance of missing the ep.

Artist's rendering of my relationship to Gopher football today

Different in the Pros though with the XP moved back. Plus we didn't need a 2 point play there. XP was the right call he just missed it.

Peter’s did not enter the tent.

 

[wdgold]

This program is so Fu@#+&$ frustrating!

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

I'd rather be in the car with those ladies going to Sonic than watched this game.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Defense needs a turnover. Please.

 

[DanvilleGopher]

Anyone at the game to see if 5 is warming up?

Morgan will need to be carried off for Fleck to replace him. We've already seen the worst that Morgan can play (BG) and he wasn't replaced in that game so there is your blueprint on how Fleck will treat those situations.

 

[howeda7]

Iowa season wish list:

Simon at OC.

Annexstad or Kramer at QB.

Walker or someone else new at K

 

[GopherFanatic19]

If fleck doesn’t fire Sanford after today’s loss and bowling greens loss then our offense will never be better than what it is now.

 

[laazrakit]

Morgan will need to be carried off for Fleck to replace him

Well, in his defense… He played pretty well on that last drive

 

[GoodasGold]

Gopher fans are routinely disrespected.

 

[hungan1]

I had to leave at the end of the half. If I may say, PJ left too many points on the table by going for it. When is he going to learn to take points? Does he have no confidence in the kickers? At 14-6, it is a two-score game. If they had seven points, a touchdown with a successful kick will get them into OT.

Fair point. You're probably right. I tend to lean towards the gamble most of the time
