Ish last week SUCKED! But back at it. This is a must win game. And absolutely no excuse not to come out with the W.

Need to find the run game, then let The Drake cook. After that D needs to get off the field on 3rd and 5+.

I want a blowout. I want our moxie back.

GET ‘ER DONE FLECK!!!!!!!!!!!!
 


















In the 80s and first half of 90s Sparty had a hex on us like no other. I can remember Mason hog piling with the team in front of the student section in 97 when the curse was broken.

Get the win boys
 






Under PJ, the Gophers are not a very good play-from-behind team once the team faces a 10 point deficit at any point in the game--incuding the 1st Q. Not just picking on this year's team: it has won two come from behind P4 games. But historically, because of PJ's conservative play calling, slow pace of play, etc., PJ team's just don't come back well. This year's team? Ryan Burns says (I haven't checked) that the Gophers, in their six P4 games this year, have scored a total of 3 points on their first offensive drives. PJ's teams are notorious slow starters. Is it mental prep? Game plan? I don't know. But for a team that doesn't play well from behind, these constant slow starts make the game needlessly tougher tougher to win. MSU hasn't got a B1G win yet, but it has a QB who is dangerous when running (not so much passing). Goal for today: Gophers score early and first. Go Gophers!
 

Burns mentioned MSU has a poor run defense so maybe we’ll see some second level magic from Ijeboi and Ford.

The Gophers are notorious for "feeling them out " on the opening offensive and defensive drives. It's very frustrating.
 



Darious Taylor: OUT

Are any of those injuries important for Michigan State? I don't know their roster and team that well.
