***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT #1 OHIO STATE LET'S SHOCK THE WORLD IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Gopherchase]

Gotta pressure the QB. Our DL has to win some of the one on one battles. When we blitz we have to make the QB move his feet at a minimum. That’s been the ballgame here. Otherwise, I have no complaints otherwise, really. We were a whisper from a TD and 21-7.

Coach Day is actually a little pissed at his team as they play us.

Progress.

 

[crazysauce]

PJ declines the penalty rather than throwing a hail Mary. What kind if chicken s#!t is this

 

[GopherGuy82]

Gutless. I get it's unlikely something great happens but stop playing scared. You are never going to beat good teams playing like a scared little boy.

 

[BTChamp]

I always had u pegged as a manscapper

I'm an everything scaper

 

[GophersInIowa]

Indiana had one of the better transfer portal rankings in the country though. Got the #1 QB in Mendoza.

Indiana’s transfer portal ranking was 25th. Minnesota was 29th.

 

[Pdiddy]

Perich is so overrated

 

[Gopher1968]

Keeping in-state talent won't prevent what is happening tonight.

Agree. We're playing a team that is a mega national recruiter every year

Even the coverage wasn’t horrific on all of those passes, but their qb is putting it on the nuts.

I love giving Lindsey a shot as much as anyone but I don’t think he can throw the ball 75-80 yards. It was 5 yard penalty.

 

[oldman]

They have more size and speed. Money talks.

 

[Kitzmann57]

You win with players. According to 247 sports recruting: Ohio St 11 five star players and 56 four star players! Their 3rd string players are four star guys. Take a guess how many four star players the Gophers have?

We would actually risk an interception and runback for a TD.

It's that kind of night. Plus the crowd would have been nuts if we tried to run a play.

Right call to regroup.

It will be a victory if they have to work for their next score. Too easy so far. We just don't have any pressure on the QB.

But actually for the game at TCF back in 2014 with Urban as HC, it was a similar day. Dilly Bar Dan was calm and cool and tOSU scored twice with relative ease to keep them ahead.

Story remains the same. Super Gopher Ron Johnson still stands tall in the record books.

A loss is a loss. The score doesn't matter. At a minimum, I give Fleck credit for going for it on 4th and short at midfield because everyone in the country knows that Minnesota can't trade punts with OSU and the Gophs had to take some risks. The Buckeyes executed better on that play and a bunch of others and here we are, 21-3 at half. Not a surprise.

MN will be 3-2 after this game and OSU will be 5-0 no matter the final score. Not a surprise.

But it can be fun. When the game is over but not over we can talk about movies and checkers. Maybe exchange recipes. Because the game is not important anymore. Or not.

 

[jovs]

OMG. Unclench your ass Peej. That fourth down screamed play action pass. RUTM? Good God. You are so F*cking predictable.

Play to keep it close against the Bukeyes and you will get burried. Probably damned if you do and damned if you don't but you might as well give it a try and running that that play sure isn't giving it a
try.

 

[stocker08]

On the bright side.....our uniforms are better.

 

[BilldGopher]

Not worth any metling down on this one. Figure out your drinking game and begin...if you haven't yet.

Ironically I thought up one on Gophers converting 1st downs...thinking it would be a way to stay sober.

I think we've gotten enough to have a light buzz in Jaeger shots...

Throw the ball.

 

[Panthadad2]

Throw the ball.

Talk to the QB. He chose that play at the LOS.

 

[Gopher1968]

Their QB is leading the nation in accuracy.......completing 78% of his passes this year which is just insane

 

[oldman]

Penn st lost again if it means anything to ya'all

 

[btowngopher]

Well at least the boys should be well prepared for traveling to Iowa and Oregon later this year after facing this environment.

 

[BilldGopher]

Maybe we could suit up Antoine for the second half and nobody would notice...

 

[GopherGuy82]

That's the thing he doesn't have to throw it to the end zone. Maybe you get an interface call which gets you in range of a throw to the end zone. We will never know because we don't even try. Not trying sends the wrong message to the team. What do you even tell the guys at halftime, "try not to get hurt, this game is over"

 

[Panthadad2]

PSU hasn't beaten a single Power 4 team this year and I bet they're still ranked next week.

Ok. Running it wasn't going to work. Poor choice by whomever.
