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

[short ornery norwegian]

Points on our opening drive!!

Does that count as the opening drive since they fumbled the kickoff?

 

[mnsportsgeek]

It’s extremely unhealthy, and a bad example.

And all the overweight, white guys on GopherHole talking about it is really healthy and not at all ironic.

 

[Tully55]

Matt Millen makes watching football so difficult.

One of the many reasons I sync up the tv with KFAN broadcast. Thank heavens for DVR!!

 

[BleedGopher]

Missed a false start on right tackle on TD, FWIW.

100%! It seemed pretty obvious too.

Go Gophers!!

 

[mnsportsgeek]

How about a stop against the 5th worst scoring offense in the conference, please?

 

[saintpauljeff]

Wow Illinois looks good, how the hell are they only 3-5?

 

[USAF]

No pass rush yet again

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Wow Illinois looks good, how the hell are they only 3-5?

Well here's the funny thing. They're not good.

 

[BarnBurner]

Illinois offense looks really good.

 

[Tully55]

No pass rush yet again

Altmeyer has been sacked 29 times this year

 

[howeda7]

Blitz if you have to.

 

[BleedGopher]

Just awful defense. How does he get that wide open??!

Go Gophers!!

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Illinois offense looks really good.

20ppg in the B1G. We gave them 14 in 12 minutes.

 

[46Gophers]

Well defense looks like sh*t.

 

[GopherGold01]

This is brutal

 

[Stuff]

As much as we like to make fun of Bert for being fat. He could beat the Gophers with a high school team.

 

[BarnBurner]

No pass rush. Mn defense looking very poor today.

 

[laazrakit]

Kinda wish there was a little pass rush on Altmeyer... He gets that much time on every pass and it's going to be a long afternoon.

 

[upnorthkid]

Fleck coached teams seem like they can’t help but choke when opportunity gets thrown to them. Yeesh for ugly out there. We love letting QBs play 7v7 against us

 

[Iceland12]

Just awful defense. How does he get that wide open??!

Go Gophers!!

Announcer was saying the Gophers were in a zone defense. From the 9 yard line?!?

 

[scools12]

D looking like they aren’t going to show up today.

Against everything Fleck stands for the offensive might have to open it up to win this game.

 

[GophersInIowa]

#3 Bride covering no one there. That’s brutal. I hate straight zone near the goal line.

 

[cncmin]

Blitz if you have to.

they haven’t even gotten close to getting pressure on him yet, just a terribly perplexing, awful defensive scheme so far today. Awful.

What coach would think rushing 3 on 3rd and long is a good idea?

 

[swelna]

Joyner was held on that TD pass...

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Your turn, Athan. Gonna have to win a shootout.

 

[Igor95]

Hopefully the D comes around here soon. I worry the O won’t keep up if they don’t make some stops.

 

[Iceland12]

Hope the Gophers don't wait again until the 2nd Half before blitzing as much as they can.

 

[metrolax]

Gophers defense and special teams are $&^tt#$@ the bed right now

 

[cncmin]

Joyner was held on that TD pass...

maybe. still doesn’t excuse the terrible D scheme.

 

[NorthernLakesGopher]

Hope Rossi makes his halftime adjustments a quarter early...
