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

[gopherguy06]

Hate the shotgun for short yardage. Back yourself up to start

 

[GringaGopher]

WTF !!

 

[Igor95]

Why do we do dumb stuff?

 

[Border Gopher]

lol insanity

 

[spermophilus]

Shotgun!!!!! Arrrrgggghhhhh!!!!

 

[Pompous Elitist]

PJ

PJ..cmon man.

 

[mngg11]

That was a fucking awful playcall

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Our 4th down offense has to be one of the worst to ever exist.

 

[nitramnaed]

OMG!

 

[USAF]

Just a different level of talent

LOL.

This was also you in the Jilek thread (scolding those of us who questioned recruiting 83 level talent with one P4 offer):

"Lots of hopes for schadenfreude from a few of you. Fleck has been here nine years, you should understand how the system works and how often we hit a double with guys many programs would consider a strikeout before considering an offer.

We don't cast a broad net for 4 and 5 star guys generally, we seek dudes who the staff deems fit for our system and culture. Until you understand that, you're going to be unhappy with recruiting rankings (and even then, our rankings aren't bad). There's a reason we have zero discipline issues off the field, send guys to the pros with regularity, etc. The staff knows what they're doing. And if you'd rather sell the soul of this program for a first round exit in the playoffs, you're short sighted and nihilistic."

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

GO UNDER CENTER!!!!!!!

 

[GoldenMAV30266]

I swear to god every time a coach goes for it on 4th and short he calls a fucking middle run.

LEARN

 

[fmlizard]

I didn't like any of that. Very uncreative and obvious what they were going to do.

 

[tikited]

Big gamble. Big consequences.

 

[SuperMeat]

Hate the shotgun calls on 4th and short

 

[Gold Vision]

What makes you think you can run up the middle from the shotgun against the #1 defense in the country?

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

We're not actually going for it here.....are we? I mean.....Rutgers was stuffing us repeatedly last week.

It doesn't matter. They've had two long drives. Go for it, but not that play call.

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

Can't say we say this coming, I guess it's playoff baseball for me.

 

[Schnauzer]

If I know this shotgun BS slow developing crap isn’t going to work from my couch, how is it this coaching staff keeps going to it on third and fourth and short. Maddening.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

At least we did the play they were expecting … polite

 

[mngg11]

If you're going shotgun on 4th then throw the friggin ball. The ground game isn't working

 

[Bring back the Axe]

PJ just likes touching the stove

 

[GoGophersUMN]

Did they not learn anything from the past few weeks? The defense has been in the backfield by the time the RB got the ball on almost every 4th down play from shotgun all season.

 

[JZABR]

Hate being in the shotgun on 4th and short.

 

[BilldGopher]

Agree need to be under center but we went seasons with Tanner who did not go under center.

Don't understand it but whatever...

 

[btowngopher]

LOL.

Why don’t we just sign the guys that OSU is signing?

Greg Harbaugh offense.
It's an "NFL" offense....

play caller

 

[Stuff]

If we can't do 4th and short vs Directional Liousiana State. Probably can't versus Ohio State either.

 

[btowngopher]

At least Fleck chose to go for it. I respect that.

I'm okay with the body of work overall in terms of the playcalling but jesus the 4th downs have been terrible
