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

[Igor95]

Joyner was held on that TD pass...

One of the Gopher podcasts this week Ryan Burns mentioned that Joyner never gets any holding calls to go his way.

 

[GringaGopher]

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?

They do look surprisingly bad so far but we know Rossi has been good at making adjustments.

 

[cncmin]

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

they’ll blitz at some point and it’ll work, so then they’ll go away from it and play loose zone to make sure Illinois’feelings aren’t hurt too bad.

 

[Texan Gopher]

.... we have a legit passing game ourselves. Our practices where the defense goes up against a fake offense running the opposition's team's playbook, will never mean anything because we can't pass ourselves.

Our pass defense is atrocious because they get no practice during practice. The key to beating the gophers is simply pass the football. When those teams come in from the PAC next year, we are f*****.

ok, but we have a team that typically struggles to score 20 and the D has already given up 14 on TDs on two 3rd and longs in the red zone, both with zero pass rush and wide open receivers. If it doesn’t work, do, do it again?

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Option - a new wrinkle for the offense!

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Maybe a shootout is what this team needs for Fleck to start trusting the offense.

 

[BTChamp]

Spanferd!!! Nice catch and run.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Go for it

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Did we get a new OC this week?

 

[BTChamp]

Nice play call on 4th

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Wow look at this creative and dynamic offense. Am I watching the wrong game?

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Tell me you haven’t watched the Gophers play all year, without telling me you haven’t watched the Gophers play all year. This coming from the guy with a 7 CrAB jersey on at home watching the game.

Simon locked Harbaugh in the broom closet. He's texting Sanford for the code again.

 

[swelna]

Yeah, something has changed at play calling...

That's so bad coming from the conference's own network.

The Summer Intern made the graphics. Making new ones sounds like a lot of work.

Should have been OPI but I’ll take it

.... We are ourselves. Can have a passing offense. Our practices where the defense goes up against a fake offense running the opposition's teams playbook, will never mean anything because we can't pass ourselves.

Our past defense is atrocious because they get no practice during practice. The key to beating the gophers is simply past the football. When those teams come in from the PAC next year, we are f*****.

I think he's ^ upset at something.

Are you upset with our "past defense" which team? David Gibbs' D? Carl Eller and Bobby Bell's defense? TC and Jack Brewer? Those past defenses weren't atrocious, please be specific.

Go Gophers!!

 

[mnsportsgeek]

We're never punting again!

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Last team with the ball wins.

 

[Stuff]

BSF waited until the 9th game of the year to start playing football.

 

[BleedGopher]

Spann-Ford with some big boy football toughness there!!

Go Gophers!!

 

[cncmin]

wow! O decided to mix it up today, use the TE today, and quite an innovative game plan. Where was this all year prior?

Who would have thought that if it wasn’t for the O today, we’d be blown out?

 

[mnsportsgeek]

This game may hit the over in the first half.

 

[GopherFanatic19]

What offense is this! BSF can catch?

 

[GophersInIowa]

This is beautiful on offense so far. Love it!

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Somebody wants to get drafted

 

[mnsportsgeek]

You'll never guess what the score is at Northwestern.
