***OFFICIAL ILLINOIS AT MINNESOTA WE NEED TO BEAT BB IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

Halftime....IA and NU in a 0-0 shootout

 

[skiumah1]

Not sure why I'd expect any different play call there from PJ, but man it's frustrating every time.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Bert just wanted to burn 20 more seconds to make the drive harder.

Seconds before the half....IA and NU in a 0-0 shootout

It’s gotten out of hand at Iowa not sure how Phil Parker doesn’t strangle a Ferentz at halftime

 

[Iceland12]

Go and get the QB!

 

[mnsportsgeek]

110 total yards at Wrigley field

 

[StudentSectionMenace]

I don’t hate the idea of getting points there, but why just let the offense stand around and burn a timeout? Why not try to draw them offsides and then call the timeout?

 

[Iceland12]

A 4-man sack?! Nice.

 

[U2Gopher]

It’s very unlikely we win this game if we don’t get to the QB!!

 

[Stuff]

Striggow!

110 total yards at Wrigley field

Not even a loud out into the power alleys

I have 0 faith in PJ trying to do anything that remotely makes sense when it comes to clock management

 

[GophersInIowa]

A turnover here would be nice.

 

[GopherJack]

Why do we not throw to our RB's? Is it a PJ thing?

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Come on PJ 30 seconds try for 3 more. Our kicker has a cannon and Illinois couldn't stop a parked bus

 

[Iceland12]

Gophers got to the QB with 4 guys so now they sent 3..

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Boo.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Ah, the PJ School of Clock Management.

I can’t decide if it’s PJ’s brain freezing or something I’m not smart enough to understand.

 

[SuperMeat]

Cowardly PJ

 

[fmlizard]

Gophers will prolly win this if they avoid stupid turnovers in 2nd half

 

[wdgold]

Why the F#$@ do we always have to kneel

 

[mngg11]

Until we do?

 

[mngg11]

A little late to the party but Nubin has Mo written all over him. I hope he keeps developing and maintains the patience, great vision for the hole.

Sean Tyler: "Give me my helmet."

 

[cncmin]

Don’t look now but the Gophers went 17-7 after Tyler’s opening blunder. As for Tyler, you gotta feel for him, but man, you can’t do that. Worse, it was over a meaningless 1-yard difference.

Went clicking at halftime and AXS TV is showing Pickleball. Apparently there is some kind of pro league.

They are used in pass pro

I watched power slap last Friday night. It was so much fun.

I have no problem doing it in that situation. Most teams would.
