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

[GringaGopher]

Slight victory to hold them to 3....

 

[cjbfbp]

That field goal attempt, like the last one, looks like a victory in this game.

 

[stocker08]

Holding them to a FG is a big win. One score game and we get the ball at half. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[RolGnav]

Hey, at least we have one time out left. That's always a positive. Right?

 

[Word]

Down by 6 as bad as we've played? I'll take it.

 

[scools12]

Had them 1st and long, 2nd and long allow a 4th & 5 conversion and the drive ending with a FG is not a win.

What a horrible defensive series.

 

[wdgold]

19 play drive!

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

We all know PJ's record when losing at the half...it's not good.

 

[RogueGopher]

Chance to take the lead coming out of halftime. We have Illinois right where we want them.

 

[kg21]

Glad they didn't give Devito a chance with his legs there. I have the feeling he would have walked it in.

 

[HitMeAgainIAmStillMoving]

Plenty of time to drive the field

 

[Some guy]

This game is higher quality than the Iowa Illinois game was.

2-20 or something?

A slight victory? They held them to 3 pints from 1st and goal. Those plays are what make games winnable. They have given up 13 bleeping points in the first half. How about the offense does something.

 

[Yah-E]

Sigh of relief

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Another huge stop. IL fans might be questioning the play calls.

 

[DarthGopher]

CAB, Jackson, Wright.....probably would have come down with that ball. MBS let the safety take it right out of his hands.

I like the kid, but having said that, MBS is a liability on this offense.

Honestly best case scenario given how the game has gone.

Iowa?? Quality football??? no chance lmao

 

[USAF]

What a horrible defensive series.

19 play drive, including 2 holding calls, right after scoring to get within 3. Awful.

I am bummed for the rest of the season seeing this. I thought we had a defense.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Biggest difference last two games is QB play imo. Purdue and Illinois have QBs that can make plays with their arms. Gophers don’t have that.

They also have wideouts that seem to get separation either by concept or by athleticism

 

[WorkingMyTailOff]

Our offense line is just not very good.

I thought the Oline looks much better this week. Big running holes against one of the best front sevens in the country. Pass protection on the right side is still not good.

f-----g pathetic is what it is.

 

[GOPHER DEL]

If the Gophers outplayed Illinois like this at the bank and we were only up by 6 I would be really disappointed. They certainly have left the door wide open for us.

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

Nice kickoff return.

 

[Spoofin]

We have been absolutely dominated. Only being down 6 is incredibly fortunate.

True dat

Drops a lot of passes. And has now contributed to TWO interceptions over the past two games. Makes you wonder how confident Morgan is even throwing the ball to him.
