***OFFICIAL*** MIAMI (OH) GAMEDAY THREAD 9-17-2011

Have at it. Go Gophs!

 

[Ski U Mah 55]

Great football weather, that's for sure.

 

[Gopher_Nutz]

Excited for another Football Saturday. Go GOPHERS!

They are expecting 12-14mph winds during the game. Some stadium designs amplify the effects of wind (ie swirling winds); I'm not sure if this is the case of The Bank. I guess i don't know if that is a high enough wind to have a big affect on the passing game or not - I would think it is.

Looking at Miami's one game against Mizzou (not much of a statistical base), their passing game was more effective than their running game. I'm not sure I'd call our running offense better or worse than our passing offense, but I definitely think our run defense is better than our pass defense. I think the wind will be our ally in this game.

I'm going to go ahead and predict a defensive game with a combined point total of under 28.

On a hunch, I'm going to say that the defense really steps up to the plate this weekend and we win by a score of 16-7. (The last time we held an opponent to 7 or fewer points was 2008 - when we did it against IU, Purdue and Florida Atlantic).

[CentralMNGopher]

Glen - 3rd and 1 in the red zone is a "waste down????" 2nd and 1 might be a waste down, not 3rd.

Thanks

The website worked great, well played. What do you guys think so far?

 

[victor04]

Vereen sure gets picked on by opposing teams and commontators, but from I can tell he is more than serviceable. I still dont know whats up with m carter

 

[Tully55]

Sure would be nice if the WRs would lineup on the LOS like they are supposed to. 5 men in the backfield is unnaceptable. 5 men in the backfield a second time is absurd.

 

[victor04]

For all the shortell enthusiasts, can shortell ever bring a 50 yrd run like that to the table? nope, until shortell is clearly the better product, lets put this debate to the side

Glen Mason loves holes.

 

[GopherInPittsburgh]

McKnight has at least 4 inches on the guy covering him

 

[Tully55]

That was absolutely EXCELLENT blocking on the TD run!! IMHO best executing I've seen this year.

 

[gopher the gold]

Keep going to Kirkwood we need to find a back who can do something

 

[Iceland12]

A LEAD , followed by a SACK?! Beautiful!

 

[Slim Tubby]

We need more Lair!!!!!

+1000!!!!! Thank you and holy heavens if Gray could just go like 30-35 for 390 and 4 TDS and 0 INT's with 25 carries for 210 yards so people would quit calling for the backup quarterback I would be exstatic!

 

[Slim Tubby]

Just plow it in!

 

[victor04]

nice a freshman gets the first sack of the year

 

[kuhlmanalex]

I really like how hard Kirkwood is running...looks like a little bowling ball out there

 

[Slim Tubby]

Take the points. We still could lose this game but a much different team today...so far.
