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

[GopherWeatherGuy]

This team is soft, out of shape, slow, undisciplined, slow to the ball. That’s all on the coaches.

I didn't know coaches could coach everyone to be as fast as they want to be.

 

[Bring back the Axe]

Depends on which way the compass points.

It wouldn't be pointing more directly South even if Ernest Shackleton was DC. lol

 

[Flash30]

Terrible play call on 3rd and 3

 

[cjbfbp]

Why are we wasting our receivers in this game?

Soft and slow are more on genetics and their first 10 years of playing football. Discipline is certainly on the coaches.

Hard to be disciplined when you aren’t athletic enough to make the plays. You take chances because you have to to be succesful. So you dive and miss. You overrun a play

Defend the coaches all you want....the defense sucks.

 

[FredCoxRocks]

Is the wildcat a sign you’re giving up?

I don’t think you’ll find anyone who disagrees outside the city of Fresno

 

[GringaGopher]

That punt was better. Digging deep looking for positives here.

 

[kisarazu]

At least the punt was more than 34 yards.

 

[Some guy]

Is the wildcat a sign you’re giving up?

Yeah. New Orleans saints have given up on the season

 

[CharchyCharch]

are we winning?

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

Credit Illinois, they’re kicking the sh^t out of Minnesota. So far, it’s not even close.

I love Shakleton!!! What a journey! Hire him!!

 

[GopherBulldog]

Definitely a scheme problem there. Definitely not two guys next to that slant neither of which could tackle

When you have guys all over the place doing the wrong things it may not be the scheme, but you gotta wonder what the heck they are doing in practice to not be able to execute come game time.

 

[Flash30]

What will Fleck say in his presser after we take this L? Im 100% certain it’s going to be about youth. Same old BS every week.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Everyone needs to take a deep breath. Our defense has only given up 284 yards so far. It probably can hold Illinois to under 350 by halftime. I can only imagine that's got to be an improvement over previous weeks.

 

[NorthernLakesGopher]

Fresh beer, fresh series. Go Gophers! (Will likely need an Uber and an understanding wife tolerant with me as Flecknis with Smith...)

What do you want him to say?

I always thought the Saints were quitters.

 

[LesBolstad]

Sadly, the Illini have slightly better talent than us. This isn't a fluke; they have better players.

 

[johnnybb]

Maybe that drop will be a turning point.

 

[upnorthkid]

The number of missed tackles are just pathetic

 

[Tully55]

What do you want him to say?

+1

 

[scools12]

I refuse to believe PJ is really going to die on Robb Smith hill.

Fleck’s job isn’t going to be in jeopardy next year so I won’t be surprised if Smith is still here at least another season.

Is this job too big for Fleck?

 

[GoGophersUMN]

That's not a late hit?

 

[upnorthkid]

What are we trying to play barber on Corbett for? My goodness

 

[gopherguy06]

Our young offense shows promise but we don't have any depth.

That drop Is an example of why we shouldn’t call press man
