***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN BATTLE FOR THE LITTLE BROWN JUG IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Spoofin]

Michigan is only 3/7 on 3rd down. They've punted 4 times.

107 yards in 1H. Our D is doing very well.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

They are playing well and with a lot of spark, like they were embarrassed last week in our looking to come out and regain some pride.

Our D has allowed 107 yards of total offense. Problem is that we keep giving Michigan the ball 15 yards from its endzone.

 

[Stuff]

No time to call a play

But there was time for the fg team to run out on the field?

 

[fmlizard]

By rule you can't spike and get another play off with under 3 seconds.

I did not know that. That's why I'm an internet coach!

 

[gopherdudepart2]

These have been bull rushes where our guards are getting knocked back 3 yards on the sack Plays. Do we have another center that can play and move Johnson to left guard? Desperate times call for desperate measures. We have to be quicker at left and right guard. I get the Michigan DT are NFL players, but there just whiping some ass.

 

[fmlizard]

The Gophers have been about equal to Michigan but have 3 major mistakes, 2 of them absolute killers.

 

[Goldy Golpher]

False. Athan was not the answer at QB.

He’s 2-0 against power 5 teams with Rutgers.

Becoming increasingly difficult to argue he was the reason this team grinded to a 3-7 power 5 record last year

 

[Tully55]

Clock was stopped to reset the ball only

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Brosmer is fine but he needs a lot of time to make a play. His lack of speed and height limit his play making ability.

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

Take away two wiffs by Cody and Brown and D has played well

 

[GopherEnEspaña]

It’s amazing how much our talent has regressed since 2019. Find me one position group that’s better than 2019

 

[caliGopher]

A coach should have a few goal line plays in mind

Or a timeout in case you need one.

Two thoughts:

unprepared that hail mary would work, no play called.

Get the points, without a TO, too much to get a play off with our OC and we had a heavy receiver set. Did we have a RB in?

You choose. I'm thrilled we executed something on offense flawlessly.

If you haven’t seen his RBs check them out Mo like.

 

[Taji34]

Honestly, I think you could put Tom Brady behind this OL and he'd be struggling and getting sacked.

the whole defense is about the same quality as 2019. OL is bad this year

lol.....AK is a game manager. We'll see how he does against a good team.

The OL if I recall generally were Kill’s guys in their fourth and fifth years.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Brosmer ain’t a savior. But he’s looking just fine when he gets a couple of seconds. Our OL is just not good. MI rushing only 4 and breaking through with ease. That means 7 lbs and dbs to cover 3 or 4 receivers for 3 seconds max. Not Brosmer’s fault. False starts by center ain’t Brosmer’s fault.

 

[allthgoodnamesrgone]

If it weren’t for those three Michigan scores, the gophers would be winning

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

The downside for us is 21k posts

Better than your ~7k

 

[gopherdudepart2]

Our RB, if given an extra 1/4 to half second could actually start making plays. We don't give them any time or space for a play to develop. Michigan has really fast linebackers but if you could actually get a decent block some positive plays would happen.

 

[Gopherchase]

This quarterback can be beaten. Let’s just keep playing hard on D.

 

[Lou Brown]

55 is a problem! That dude is living in the backfield whenever he wants to.

 

[stocker08]

Let's see those halftime adjustments!

 

[gopherdudepart2]

Orji isn't good!

Had to get that stop.

Agreed. Without the turnovers we'd be in this thing.

 

[stocker08]

Bryson blew it again.

 

[fmlizard]

Gophers messed that one up. Going for it for a long 1 is crazy when the Gophers can't move the ball on Michigan.
