***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN AT MINNESOTA SEASON OPENING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Tully55]

Mich almost got the handoff there

 

[46Gophers]

Ugh, Gophers have had three nice plays and a bunch of bad ones.

 

[GopherGangsta]

And a pathetic punt...14-7....This is gonna be ugly

 

[johnnybb]

alright, alright, it wasn't ever gonna be a gimme.

 

[Jeshurun]

Ish

 

[Parcival]

Uh oh

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

Their defensive front so far looks as advertised.

 

[Nax5]

Starting to worry we may have just too many players out tonight.

 

[stocker08]

And a pathetic punt...14-7....This is gonna be ugly

14-7? You watching the wrong game?

 

[Parcival]

Morgan is going to take some hits tonight

 

[GoGophersUMN]

31 yard punt.

It's going to be hard to win if we're giving up 10-20 yards every time we trade punts.

 

[Markous15]

We are a big ten team and we don't have a serviceable back up punter or kick off guy?

 

[disco]

We are a big ten team and we don't have a serviceable back up punter or kick off guy?

We do. They are also out. They mentioned it at the beginning of the game.

 

[Igor95]

Nice!

 

[Ewert86PC]

Great defensive play!

 

[GoGophersUMN]

Well at least we aren't the only ones with special teams problems.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Fortunately both special teams units are terrible!

 

[Jeshurun]

TNubs sighting

 

[howeda7]

Wide right. Sweet.

 

[johnnybb]

Good bend don't break defense... too bad they were starting from their own 45 and bending probably means a FG.

 

[stocker08]

Wow. We caught a break there.

 

[GSUsTALON]

Nice 2 defensive plays in a row and Michigan looses 3 point on top of it all!

 

[johnnybb]

NO GOOD!

A battle of atrocious special teams on tap tonight!

 

[Jeshurun]

Almost seems like both teams are rusty in areas from a pandemic

 

[Nax5]

As long as we don't have to kick the ball outside of extra points, I think we have a good shot. I'm really nervous about our kick-offs, though.

 

[RolGnav]

Ughhh... scary! Settle down Gophers! Let's go!

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Cody Lindenburg. Nice aggressive play.

 

[GoForGold]

Ha! Michigan special teams have cost them 10 points already.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

We do. They are also out. They mentioned it at the beginning of the game.

Wait how many kickers and punters have Covid? They're the only ones that don't need to be around people!

 

[GopherFanatic19]

Shake the opening jitters off and score one here
