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

Awful 3rd and 1 Call - Really bad

 

[mnsportsgeek]

According to the TV crew, Newton must be the greatest player of all time.

The announcers are not the ones shoving his face on camera every other play.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

May need a pick-6 or scoop-and-score to win this game.

 

[upnorthkid]

Lmao. What a sequence

 

[cncmin]

good god this playcalling. First half was far too successful. Best to go into a shell, right?

gotta love that 3rd and 1 call outside against an overloaded D formation. Yikes.

 

[swede2]

Garbage 3rd down play call.

 

[GophersInIowa]

It’s like we had a guest play caller in the 1st half and now we’re back to the normal one.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Autman-Bell a non-factor today.....

That’s normal

 

[Texan Gopher]

Keep the fucking ball AK. You had 15 yards and a 1st down. Good grief this is embarrassing

 

[GopherFanatic19]

Yup let’s crap the bed, nothing changes, even play calling

 

[matt]

Believe it or not when you run every play at some point the defense figures it out.

PJ already playing for the FG. Rossi needs to score some points if we are going to win.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Slow developing 3rd down shit play for a loss.....ugh

AK could have kept that for 20

 

[Gopher028]

Mike Sanford > Harbaugh.

wtf is wrong with PJ that we stick with this utter garbage?!

 

[GopherJack]

Should have done the tush push for one yard

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Gopher Football - We don't trust our QB to make plays.

 

[Blackhammer]

Not matter how many short yardage run plays we get stuffed on Fleck keeps doing the same thing expecting different results.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Where’s Dakota2 he guaranteed the offense would be better done the team cared so much

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Detroit bowl in my backyard is looking pretty realistic right now if we can beat Purdue.

 

[GopherJack]

Autman-Bell and BSF were supposed to be all Big Ten players this year. Some had BSF tagged as an All American. Is it their fault, our play calling, AK, or what?

 

[Iceland12]

Should have done the tush push for one yard

That hasn't really worked for them either.

 

[StudentSectionMenace]

Keep the fucking ball AK. You had 15 yards and a 1st down. Good grief this is embarrassing

Y’all will literally blame Athan for anything. Definitely a designed run that is not supposed to be an option. Last thing you want as a head coach is a QB who won’t listen to the play call

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Why is MN trying to run out the clock on itself? Snapping under 10 sec consistently. You’re down, guys.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

29 yards this half. Outstanding.

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

Yeah, fuck PJ Fleck. As long as he's here we ain't winning shit.

 

[USAF]

Immediately upon getting back to 14-14 PJ goes back into his patented prevent offense.

FG instead of TD before half, takes a knee to end the half. Happy to turn a turnover inside the 15 into a FG.

Play not to lose yet again. Maddening.

 

[Bayfieldgopher]

It’sOK. D needs to do their job. We moved ball on ground which will matter next possessiin

 

[cncmin]

Why is MN trying to run out the clock on itself? Snapping under 10 sec consistently. You’re down

this. infuriating. also lets the D set up. just no urgency at all.

 

[Iceland12]

Autman-Bell and BSF were supposed to be all Big Ten players this year. Some had BSF tagged as an All American. Is it their fault, our play calling, AK, or what?

Can't speak to BSF but Autman-Bell has never really recovered from his injuries. Not sure if he ever will.

 

[Tully55]

9 men in the box and we call a slow developing run around end????? You can't make this poor play calling up.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Yeah, fuck PJ Fleck. As long as he's here we ain't winning shit.

If we're being perfectly honest, we'll never win anything again. We're like a bottom table premier league team, just happy to be invited to the show. This is reality for 50% of college football teams.
