***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT COLORADO IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[UpAndUnder43]

What the fuck is this random sit on couches chat at halftime? Such a strange network. The production value is medium sized university AV club

 

[fmlizard]

He is the best QB Minnesota has had since Adam Weber. What are you talking about?

lol Morgan is vastly better than Weber and in terms of efficiency is by far the best QB in school history and 3rd in Big Ten history.

we deeply underrate him.

 

[howeda7]

PJ was told that it would be. Not excusing it but pretty shitty job by PAC 12 officials.

Because it should have stopped. The play before the penalty was a dead ball.

 

[haef7]

I think the coaching staff was told the clock was stopped.

That's my guess. It looked like the Head Linesman even acknowledged that to Fleck.

 

[BTChamp]

When was the last time Minnesota held someone shutout the 1st half? I think it started with an N and ended with shit.

If the penalty ended inbounds, the clock starts on the ref’s signal - I believe. That’s how I read the rules. The refs were correct.

 

[CurveballJesus]

So what’s the recourse here? You could see the referee acknowledge that they fucked up. They could have fixed it and chose not too. File a protest at halftime?

 

[short ornery norwegian]

I blame the offensive quality-control assistant in charge of watching the clock.

But they told the coaches it would be stopped. It’s ridiculous that they wouldn’t start it over.

And overrate Weber

 

[ForecastingAWin]

Unsung first half positive performance - punt return. Don't love that 3/4 returns featured Potts, but even with BA back there, Minn has gotten some solid returns.

I don't know if he's vastly better than Weber......but Morgan is definitely the best QB that I can recall the Gophers having. We were spoiled by a 2019 season in which we had two first team All Big Ten receivers.

And Weber's passing success at Minnesota due to:
#1 Spead Offense alowing so many attempts
#2 Eric Decker's ability to catch balls thrown to his ankles for 3 years

 

[FullBanana]

These unis look great.

Tough day for Bryce Williams

 

[stocker08]

These unis look great.

I'm also a big fan. Helmets are killer.

 

[BTChamp]

Missed the 2nd half kickoff, start at the 10 ish? Not a good start. Then these assholes show lowlights of Colorado coming back to beat Minnesota in the Dome in 1992.

 

[stocker08]

Great throw.

 

[PhillyGopher]

Agree! Love the numbers on the helmets

 

[ElectricGopher]

But they told the coaches it would be stopped. It’s ridiculous that they wouldn’t start it over.

I can’t speak on what the refs did or didn’t say. The point of contention is WHEN the clock should start. Because the clock obviously stopped… the rules say the clock should be started on the refs signal, not the snap. The refs were correct in starting the clock on the signal.

 

[BTChamp]

DJ!!!

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Let's look at the sidelines a few more times before snapping the ball.

Morgan doesn't have Weber's arm talent.

 

[BTChamp]

Me too. The white M is gROWing on me.

 

[GopherGangsta]

Hate it...they just run it up the middle anyway

 

[cjbfbp]

I don't know why Tanner threw to the end zone into double coverage.

 

[hello-world]

I don't know why Tanner threw to the end zone into double coverage.

Second time throwing deep into double coverage and then wildly missing the throw today.

 

[PhillyGopher]

Glad you could find something to be upset about.
