***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT ILLINOIS BOUNCE-BACK IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[GophersInIowa]

That wasn’t even hard

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Illinois shouldn't punt the rest of the game. They know they'll get us with a 4th play every time.

 

[rivergopher]

We just are not that good on defense

 

[Tully55]

Illinois...3 for 3 on 4th down

 

[wdgold]

Wow! not going to win many games giving up 4th downs

 

[USAF]

Again, decline it....

No

 

[howeda7]

This is a long drive. It feels like we should be down by more than 3.

We will be.

 

[jblass]

Defense needs to show up

 

[HitMeAgainIAmStillMoving]

Penguin is a good QB

 

[Grant]

Devito and O’Connell can really throw. Must be nice.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

IL exerting their will, with a little help from the officials.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Gonna need some turnovers to pull this one out

 

[stocker08]

Rossi needs to start bringing more pressure. That's all there is to it.

 

[BTChamp]

My profanity laden post from last week is creeping up on me. I'll not do it.

 

[RolGnav]

I'm sorry but... our coaches < theirs

 

[Yah-E]

 

[rivergopher]

Man what a let down I was in East Lansing, knew Mich st was not very good. But looking like another oh hum season like last year.

 

[BTChamp]

Just not aggressive.

 

[GophersInIowa]

The CBs are giving them inside release every time.

Write it, read it, delete it

Two holding penalties and still an awesome drive. First time this year I’ve really been worried about the gophers defense.

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

I'm sorry but... our coaches < theirs

Say what you want, Bielema has a certain coaching style that is effective in the Big 10.

 

[RogueGopher]

Have to keep them out of the endzone...

 

[denguegopher]

We have NO pass rush

 

[Allshade]

Weren't we the top rated defense in the country? Hmmm.

 

[Yah-E]

Need to hold them to a field goal here

 

[wdgold]

Gonna need some turnovers to pull this one out

Also MO to get 200+

I'm usually good for that.

Well, some credit goes to the lack of pressure on DeVito and some goes to the quality of his receivers. Some also goes to loose coverage.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Please kick the field goal. I'll take 1 score going into half.
