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

[Stuff]

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.

I would feel bad for him if it was a one time mistake, but he has put the ball on the turf multiple times this season and hasn't corrected it.

 

[SHGopher]

You kick the field goal here. Third and 9 you should have thrown. You didn’t gain enough in the run to go for this. Take the lead before the half.

The odds of throwing successfully past the stixks is about the same as throwing short and running the rest or the oddw of maybe a lucky run, the lower risk conservative choice.

 

[Texan Gopher]

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

27 seconds left. We had to go 35 yards to get in FG range. Absolutely take a knee with a 3 point lead.

 

[Stuff]

Do I need to be worried about Newton as the commentators suggest?

Finally...a voice of reason

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Yes defense! Love it.

 

[GringaGopher]

Yes !!! Fumble recovery !

Big Jah

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Jah!

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Held again

 

[GopherJack]

Why does Newton have a fanny pack on? Is he going to the Mall of America later?

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Catch the ball

 

[GopherFanatic19]

Joyner will be an absolute beast

 

[Tully55]

Joiner...held and still got the strip!!!

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Gotta get 7 here.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Johnny newton is getting praise like he is rising from the dead. My gosh he’s good, but come on.

 

[GopherHole Staff]

Do I need to be worried about Newton as the commentators suggest?

Yep!

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Oh, so that's why we scored on every possession in the 1st half.

Lol

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Gotta get 7 here.

Or not.....

 

[GopherJack]

I wish Athan could run. Having a running QB would help a lot.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Great play by the defense. Crooms has to catch that. Carroll just whiffed on blocking Newton.

 

[Wally]

He ran around Carrol like he wasn't there

 

[Gilthorp57]

I wish Athan could run. Having a running QB would help a lot.

He seems to have gotten slower, knee must be questionable

 

[wdgold]

No excuse for no TD

 

[Tully55]

Most predictable play by Minn offense playbook. After 1st down incompletion not in 2 minute warning...slow developing off tackle run for minimal gain

 

[swelna]

At least Athan felt the pressure and protected the ball

 

[GopherFanatic19]

Why is it a common theme for commentators to pick an opposing player and just hype them against us every game. I never hear the commentators talk about our players the way they do for opposing teams

 

[skiumah1]

No excuse for no TD

Crooms has to catch that. Just a killer.

Johnny Newton is the best player on the field.
