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

[Ewert86PC]

Really worried about this defense (understatement). Such a lack of athleticism and agility at the Linebacker position. DL can’t seem to get off a block. Secondary taking poor angles in pursuit. Honestly cannot see us getting a win this season unless this changes somehow. Really hoping we can turn it around.

I'm having flashbacks to 1982.

No way in hell I would punt here

FIFY.

 

[stocker08]

I'd go for it. Just run it directly into the teeth of our defense. Wooden teeth.

 

[GringaGopher]

Have not seen our D raise their arms up for a 4th down much the season.

 

[Taji34]

I can't imagine there was anything they saw they didn't like. Very confused by that Maryland timeout.

Only thing I could think is if they realized they had too many on the field or something.

 

[Dano564]

It's a moral victory just to force them to choose to go for it.

Progress.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Anyone else have a terrible ESPN stream?

Yes, but it is devoid of political commercials, so I stay there.

 

[GopherGangsta]

I remember Wacker's defenses getting stops

 

[saintpauljeff]

Should be no punting in this game and of course Min ruined that earlier

 

[howeda7]

Maryland is still +160 on the ML. Was +600 pre-game.

 

[Dano564]

I remember Wacker's defenses getting stops

We might get some stops in the 4th quarter is Maryland tries to kill the clock.

 

[stocker08]

Did they just run the same exact play?

 

[upnorthkid]

Boye Mafe does a horrendous job on read option

 

[Spaulding!No!]

My stream just popped up some jugs. Ok. Back to espn

 

[Word]

I may have declined that penalty.

 

[howeda7]

5 yard penalty? Decline that.

 

[Jeshurun]

I knew it had to be a penalty

 

[upnorthkid]

you decline that PJ....

 

[GophersInIowa]

Boye Mafe does a horrendous job on read option

Noticed that as well

 

[mnsportsgeek]

I ALWAYS BELIEVED IN THIS DEFENSE!

 

[GringaGopher]

Wow INT !

 

[stocker08]

Hey!!! Is that a defense play!?

 

[cjbfbp]

Penalties and turnovers are our salvation!

 

[Taji34]

YES

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Fat guy play!!!

 

[GoGophersUMN]

Hey the defense did something!

 

[upnorthkid]

[boofbonser]

Yesssssssss

 

[nitramnaed]

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]
