***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT IOWA FLOYD OF ROSEDALE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

Whats really funny, in a way, IOWA is making Tanner beat them.
We cant score a TD with the run game today

 

[johnnybb]

Well we're lucky, Ferentz is also playing not to lose.

 

[Grant]

Morgan coming back out?

 

[Gilthorp57]

Can't wait for the PJ excuses.

I don't want to hear "it's on me". You might be the problem if the same mistakes occur week after week.

 

[BTChamp]

I know shitowa's offense is putrid, but this defense deserves a lot of credit knowing their own offense is worse.

 

[Stuff]

Let's go offense. Settle down and get the TD.

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

We need a quick TD here.

we can not afford to hike the ball like we normally do

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

If you refuse to return a punt, send 10 guys every time.

 

[cncmin]

Say what you will.....that RB13 and TJ made Morgan in 2019.....but Morgan was delivering the ball in some tight windows. He's regressed a ton.

Gotta be a lot on the playcalling. The combination of Sanford’s putrid calling with Morgan’s immobility is awful, period. Can Ciaroccia come back, if PJ won’t promote Simon?

The one thing very clear over two years is that Sanford has absolutely no clue how to play a QBs strengths and avoid weaknesses. He has no business being an OC at this level.

I’ll never understand why they don’t adjust out of that.

 

[BoatRacer]

3 second half points thus far. Not going to cut it.

But but we scored 30 plus points against mighty teams including Purdue. Gotta be something right?

 

[FormerFatOL]

This game was winnable but the inability to score TDs in the red zone whether it was due to play calling, execution by the offense or the conservative philosophy is the difference.

It's conservative play calling cuz Morgan and the receivers can...not....sync....up. The pass game is thoroughly broken.

 

[cjbfbp]

Well, we have the ball back again. Can the QB throw and/or the receivers catch? Does TM have maybe 2 completions in him?

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Morgan still absolutely awful today. Take a chance on someone else to give yourself an opportunity to actually win? Pleaaaaaase?

I'd even settle with Kramer and us just admit we aren't going to throw.

 

[BTChamp]

C'mon field goal. Maybe about a 75 yarder.

 

[skiumah1]

Agreed, hurry up mode

 

[WoodburyTim]

If I may point out, it was the exact same story against Wisconsin last year. It certainly feels like PJ and co are determined to find ways to lose games against their supposed rivals.

It's beyond tiresome.

For some reason it doesn't matter though. Apparently 3rd or 4th in the West with no trophy wins gets you extensions and at least one message board that worships you.

It has mattered in the past, but it doesn't now for whatever reason.

 

[Tlsbhansen]

Are we allowed to run plays with more than four seconds on the play clock like other teams? May want to show some urgency this drive!!!

 

[Ewert86PC]

PJ is pwned by Ferentz.

 

[Rickman55]

We have had the ball for 35:48 and Iowa for 15:44

 

[GoldGoldGold]

I’ll never understand why they don’t adjust out of that.

Yes! at the least it may catch defense off base///

 

[Replacement Gopher]

This was our year to win the pig. I scared to think how long before we have a legit chance to win it. We are losing a lot of o linemen.

I hate this stat. I have no idea why they don’t return the damn ball

Everything we do is not to lose.
We are afraid to return kicks. We are afraid to throw into the end zone. We are just afraid, and our players play like they are coached not to lose. Which they are. We literally tell them not to return kicks or punts.

 

[Bulldog13tv]

Tanner has been called mini pj… pj can’t bench him because culture. Season over.

 

[howeda7]

Down 8. 8 minutes left. 80 + yards to go. By all means RUTM and use the full play clock here.

 

[johnnybb]

Tanner... we know you can pass. We know. We've seen you do it. It's been awhile, but we've seen it. We believe in you.

 

[cncmin]

"Loyalty" and "Culture" matter more than winning football games. That's obvious.

Culture should include “team” effort, which includes benching players performing poorly.

 

[scools12]

It's conservative play calling cuz Morgan and the receivers can...not....sync....up. The pass game is thoroughly broken.

I agree that at a program like Minnesota to win in the B1G you need to run the ball and play D.

However, you need at least a functional passing game. The Gophers do not have it.

 

[cncmin]

Tanner... we know you can pass. We know. We've seen you do it. It's been awhile, but we've seen it. We believe in you.

lol

 

[Replacement Gopher]

We need a quick TD here.

we can not afford to hike the ball like we normally do

We will take all 30 seconds to hike the ball. We’ve never done anything different.
For whatever reason we like Time of Possesion.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

I'd rather be a Nebraska fan hanging on to past glory than putting up with this shit year after year.

I’m sorry did you forget 1960 and the great run we had in the 1930’s and 40’s.
