***OFFICIAL IOWA AT MINNESOTA BATTLE FOR FLOYD OF ROSEDALE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Replacement Gopher]

You heard of shrinkage.

They always shrink in these games.
Meanwhile Iowa going for it on 4th and throwing the ball with 30 seconds in the half.

Our coaches in that same spot kneel it out.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

There was some pretty bad cross wind on the kick

It doesn’t look very windy.

 

[WAGopher]

All of our mistakes are correctable at the half. The team is playing hard and we’re only down 3.

This.

Clearly PJ doesn’t keep his balls and his timeouts in the same pocket. He can’t find the pocket that his balls are in, but he pulls timeouts out of his other pocket like candy.

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

3rd and 1, don’t hand it to Mo. Also, no sense of urgency last minute and a half. PJ, you’re out of timeouts! Unbelievable. We needed 7 there. Can’t coach piss poor and beat Iowa. That was awful. What a waste Fleck. So pissed!!!

 

[Cayman]

Wasn’t the general conclusion from the board after the Nebraska game that it was silly for PJ to even consider going for it on 4th and half a yard?

I posted earlier in that drive that we had 5 minutes left and it wasn’t enough time. I was almost right. SMH

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Good grief. You have to be kidding.

Kidding? Are we watching the same game?

To his credit only one of his 7 passes had a good chance to be picked.

 

[fmlizard]

I want Ohio State to lose to Maryland because it's fun, but that development would be pretty bad for Gophers bowl positioning.

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

I can’t believe we didn’t get closer to the goal line on that last drive!!! I can’t believe we didn’t get 7!!!! I can’t believe we passed on 3rd and 1 when Mo ran it down their throats the whole drive!!!!!! I can’t believe you don’t hand it to Mo!!!!! If he doesn’t get 3 feet then kick the field goal. If he gets it, the clock stops!!!!! Plus you can spike it!!!!

 

[Pompous Elitist]

AK is 6 for 7 passing....

Yep, he’s made some good throws and evaded a sack. He also just missed an easy TD and some early drives were stunted at least in part by a refusal (or prohibition?) to keep it.

We need to have more than 7 points going into halftime. Disappointing. Sure, it could be worse.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Winning TOP battle

 

[Live in the now]

3 points down to a pretty good Iowa team. I don’t get all the rage. Did anyone think they were just going to whoop that ass. Everyone needs a beer and a shot to relax.

 

[Gopherchase]

The tight end 88 could have walked in for a TD as well and AK was looking right at him. Head scratcher. Really bad decisions by AK today.

The running game is not read option for the most part they are called either RB or QB he’s not being given the option. He’s playing great missed one open receiver he has balls and guts. We would have no chance with 2.

Good grief. You have to be kidding.

He thought this was the World Cup thread

Would love to see PJ bring over KOC to run through some strategy and game management decisions between now and next weekend.

George had shrinkage and it cost him a relationship.

When you have all the momentum you have to capitalize instead of shit your pants and then miss a field goal. Complete shit show by the coaching staff on that last drive. Piss away 7 points, which could easily cost you the game.

Cialis can help, but do you want to discuss your personal problems on this forum?

I don't think the coaching staff did anything wrong on that drive. FG was the right call, and AK butchered 2 plays on 1st and 3rd down prior to the FG.

Nothing the coaches could do there. Players didn't execute.

Players gotta make plays also.

 

[Replacement Gopher]

PJ is weak sometimes.

Sometimes?

 

[GophersInIowa]

This is shocking to me how easy this is for Iowa’s offense.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Petras is just picking us apart. Credit to the WRs for catching some of these throws too.

 

[howeda7]

LaPorta out for the game...

 

[Gopherchase]

Pass Rush!! Where is it.

How do you know this? And why would that be the case if true?

 

[Gopherchase]

45 and 27 are ballers.

Nice Nubin!
