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

[mnsportsgeek]

Nice wasted timeout to punt.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Why didn’t we run a play like that to counter Iowa’s defensive aggression???

We don’t run screens, except our outside tunnel screen. Since we never run screens, maybe we don’t practice defending screens very much. A screen is a great way to punish over-aggressive pass rush but it ain’t in our playbook under PJ. Too bad. Iowa has one effective receiver: LaPorta. Hard to believe we don’t have somebody assigned to tail him.

I’m sure we won’t need that timeoutx

 

[HitMeAgainIAmStillMoving]

Where is Brewster when you need him?

 

[Grant]

Super depressing start.

Nice wasted timeout to punt.

So stupid. I’d rather take the 5 yard penalty.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Stretch is just not there. Better run between the tackles and see what is there.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

1st 2 punts 38 & 37 yards. Losing the field position battle so far.

 

[GoodasGold]

PJ burns another one

Risk aversion has driven me to the nut house this season.

No worries. Once they're under 5 minutes left to go in the 2nd quarter, we won't even try to score. Not enough time.

 

[Replacement Gopher]

Ok PJ, it’s time to open up the playbook. Enough of this conservative shit, it hasn’t worked for you for the last 5 years against Iowa. Be creative and aggressive. You have nothing to lose.

He will never do this. We’ve been pleading for this for years.

 

[USAF]

Im glad they took the timeout and PJ came to his senses.

 

[Grant]

So fleck bails on going for it if there is disagreement on what play to run. Same thing at Nebraska.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Burning a TO to punt. What a joke.

Someone needs to medicate Fleck before the Iowa games. He freezes up every year.

It is maddening how conservative PJ is. Just about done with patience with him

 

[Ewert86PC]

Gabba gabba hey!

 

[Gopherchase]

PJ is so

It is WIDE the F open. He has to do this some.

PJ won’t let him run. PJ is dumb.

 

[Grant]

Need a turnover here.

 

[big10guy]

We must be playing for a 6-3 win. If Iowa scores 10 points, we may be in trouble.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

The way to beat Iowa is to do exactly what they think we’ll do.

Fleck and Kevin O'Connell couldn't be more opposite.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Yeah, doesn’t make sense. Handcuffed or wrong read?

 

[SamSquatch]

It’s bonkers how easy it is to call a defense against the Gophs.

 

[SuperMeat]

Fleck and Kevin O'Connell couldn't be more opposite.

Yep... one is having quite a successful year and the other is reminding me of Zimmer.

 

[Ski U Master]

On the plus side, the band is mic'd well today. Sounds good and picks up some of the student chants too. Props to the Fox crew on the audio setup.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Iowa has a better offense than us.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Was that really a catch?

 

[Grant]

What a throw. We need that type of throw today.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Was that really a catch?

I guess so.
