***OFFICIAL MARYLAND AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[howeda7]

Evidently PSU blinked at home an Illinois won in the 8th OT.

We are....unable to score in 5 straight OT's.

 

[BTChamp]

I'll take the result of the 1st quarter. Looks like the field is starting to lean the Gophers way.

 

[howeda7]

Illlinois wins in 9 OT's. But it was 16-16 and the win 20-18? I'm still confused.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Nope. 9th OT underway now.

And Illinois scores the TD to win. Watched it live.

Whats the record? Im assuming there is one (for OTs)

 

[howeda7]

And Illinois scores the TD to win. Watched it live.

That was a 2 point conversion...

 

[hungan1]

Let me tell you. Don't take Illinois and NW for granted. They may be awful early, but they are improving and learning through losing. They are going to give the Gophers a run for the money.

There is no denying the Gophers have to fight their way every inch to a title.

 

[Tully55]

Illlinois wins in 9 OT's. But it was 16-16 and the win 20-18? I'm still confused.

After so many OT's....keep trying 2 pt conversions till someone wins

 

[Ewert86PC]

Whats the record? Im assuming there is one (for OTs)

I don't know, but the Gophers fans would have multiple heart attacks if we were involved.

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

Pound the rock!

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

Okay, when is the last time we had a back that could cut like that and accelerate so fast?

 

[Ewert86PC]

That was a 2 point conversion...

Well, you know exactly when I switched over, then.

 

[Taji34]

2 point conversions. It was 16-16, they both got the conversions, so 18-18, then Illinois got a conversion and Penn State didn't, so 20-18.

 

[Tully55]

As much as I detest Butt B, I'm glad Illinois won. Helps us for bowl position.

 

[nitramnaed]

Waited for the 2nd quarter to call first TO

 

[GophersInIowa]

I feel like we’ve gotten away with a few false starts. Guys leaning forward just before the snap.

 

[ForecastingAWin]

Progress

 

[howeda7]

2 point conversions. It was 16-16, they both got the conversions, so 18-18, then Illinois got a conversion and Penn State didn't, so 20-18.

So it just becomes a series of 2 point conversions? After how many OT's does that kick in?

 

[matt]

Whats the record? Im assuming there is one (for OTs)

That is the new record*. I think they said six games have been to 7 OTs but none had made to 8. But they did the two point conversion thing in most of these OTs so not exactly apples to apples.

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

I like Big Dan with that slight should pad hold

 

[BTChamp]

Bryce Williams on 1st and goal run. Beth: "Maybe got a yard". How about 3?

 

[Ewert86PC]

Nice Kramer TD to finish off driving in the Red Zone.

 

[PhillyGopher]

Hate to interrupt the OT thread but that was a nice drive by the Gophers for the TD

 

[GringaGopher]

Harder than it looks but agree we are @ the point where we should have enough talent to have a return guy.

 

[howeda7]

Bryce Williams on 1st and goal run. Beth: "Maybe got a yard". How about 3?

By the ESPN standards that gets an A-

 

[matt]

It starts in OT3.

 

[GopherGangsta]

So all it took was Burt throwing his team under the bus to beat a top ten team on the road?

 

[howeda7]

It starts in OT3.

I thought that was when they had to go for 2 after TD's. Interesting. I guess the not scoring in OT's 3-7 is slightly less pathetic but still bad.

 

[BTChamp]

By the ESPN standards that gets an A-

No kidding. They're on the fantasy cartoon Disney mindset. Anything is possible. Just say it is and there it is.
