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

[Yah-E]

Pick 6 coming up!

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Was gonna say that PSU and Minnesota both winning games they have no business leading. But then saw Michigan took the lead again.

 

[DrunkDons]

Hypothetically if we win, do we get ranked going into penn state?

 

[Iceland12]

Don't worry trolls. there still is almost a full 2 Quarters to complain and hope the Gophers lose.

 

[IrishGoph55]

The kick return is so not Gopher-like. But we’ll take it!!!!

 

[howeda7]

Hypothetically if we win, do we get ranked going into penn state?

Shhh

 

[cncmin]

If the ball is the program, are there consequences for continually failing to secure the ball? This isn't a recent phenomenon. He struggled last year to hang on to passes as well.

I wonder if this is why Boyd got fed up and left. Preach about the ball all day every day but when push comes to shove, they are going to trot the same crew out there and hope it somehow magically changes?

I would sit him a series or two and see if someone else can step up.

a little harsh, maybe, but yeah, this appears to be a blunt reality.

Pick 6 coming up!

Just thinking that. Walley is due for a big play.

 

[WorkingMyTailOff]

lucky to be down 6. Need 7 out of the gates.

Quit returning kicks haven’t made it to the 25 yet.

I credit you for the awesome positive jinx

 

[RogueGopher]

MO-mentum shift

 

[RolGnav]

I would say "Get ready for the conservative offense" but we've been in that since the interception. Good thing we have Mo this week. We haven't really been able to stop their offense consistently, so yeah, this is gonna be rough.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Hypothetically if we win, do we get ranked going into penn state?

I hope not. I never want to be ranked again lol.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

I think it's more on pass protection and receivers personally.

Fair point. But looking at the stats it’s pretty bad

 

[swelna]

I think we know why they were returning them, Redding must have been breaking some loose in practice.

 

[rivergopher]

Ill has been winning STeams all day, have to say the ST coach saw something and created that seam!

 

[UpAndUnder43]

I credit you for the awesome positive jinx

I said never listen to me! I rip on Morgan…runs in a TD. I rip on our return game…we almost house one.

 

[Tully55]

don't return it, don't return it........great return

don't shoot it, don't shoot it..........great shot

It's why I love sports. I was pissed when he started running it, too. LMAO

The way that worked out, I'd start complaining the the Gopher's D never comes up big to hold conference foes scoreless in the 2nd half, if I were you.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Time to find out if this team is really built to play with the lead

 

[DrunkDons]

Shhh

so we are allowed to be infinitely pessimistic, but optimism is where we draw the line. cool

 

[gopherbadgerman]

I hope not. I never want to be ranked again lol.

I think it’s pretty close

 

[rivergopher]

Come on D! Momentum

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Need a turnover.

 

[rivergopher]

Tackling is atrocious. He is a good back but still

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Rossi….

 

[scools12]

Illinois offense has had it pretty easy today.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Well that was fun for 5 minutes.

 

[howeda7]

The defense is just brutal today.

 

[cjbfbp]

Again, too much time for DeVito.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Rough day for Walley

 

[rivergopher]

Braelin Oliver on that play wrong gap, enough of him.
