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

[Great Plains Gopher]

Gophers have ten yards with 6 minutes left in the half. Hard to top that for ineptitude. Since Nebraska knew exactly what we would do, why not surprise them with something different and not have a half like this?

 

[mnsportsgeek]

2nd and 2 and we can't convert.

 

[Gopherchase]

No respect for 2 possibly keeping the ball. Disaster.

 

[laazrakit]

Tanner apologists will blame WR on that one

Well, MBS certainly didn't do Morgan any favors...

 

[BTChamp]

The problem is, there is not just mistakes. It is a complete system problem. Nothing besides Mo works-consistently. It's just hoping a 5 yard out pattern magically works.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

You cannot run a zone read if we refuse to read.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

2 timeouts on punts.

 

[big10guy]

We've taken two timeouts before punts? WTF???

 

[nitramnaed]

Oy!

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Mo is not right. That ankle is a LOT worse than anyone thought.

 

[Grant]

I never ever want to see the check with me stuff again.

 

[Tlsbhansen]

Two timeouts because we have no idea how to make a decision and get a punt team on the field!

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Amazes me how people do not think a mobile QB could help in this game. Tanner is not mobile. AK is mobile.

Have the gophers ever come back from a ten point deficit? Yes. Not under PJ, but yes. One such comeback was against Nebraska in 2014. Huskers led 21-7 at halftime, but the Gophers came back to win. It can happen!

Does a mobile QB help to mount an offensive comeback? No real way to tell. But in the 2014 game, when the Gophers came back from a 14-point deficit, Mitch Leidner carried the ball 22 times for 111 yards (Cobb injured in game). We weren’t do damned predictable in that game. Made the defense defend the QB run.

 

[beavergopher]

At least we get to burn a second time out for a punt so we got that going for us

 

[The prez sez]

Get something before half and we receive second half kickoff whoops. Can't make a third and one so hold the optimism.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Well, the MBS certainly didn't do Morgan any favors...

It wouldn't have mattered, because he took too long to thrown the ball it would have been brought back.

The problem is, there is not just mistakes. It is a complete system problem. Nothing besides Mo works-consistently. It's just hoping a 5 yard out pattern magically works.

Jim Pohlad would call it a total system failure.

 

[CurveballJesus]

Running out of the shotgun on third and short will never not be incredibly stupid

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

The problem is, there is not just mistakes. It is a complete system problem. Nothing besides Mo works-consistently. It's just hoping a 5 yard out pattern magically works.

Playing against us is got to be one of the easiest jobs for a D coordinator. Stack the box and make us beat with the pass & our slow as a molasses WR's. YIkes!

 

[GoldenUMNGopher]

Well, the MBS certainly didn't do Morgan any favors...

Yes totally MBS fault for not catching a wobbly severely under thrown ball....just stop

 

[Roland Brooks]

Wasted timeouts can’t stop the clock

 

[BTChamp]

4th and 1 they know they can't get it. Of course now a timeout so maybe the ladies change their mind

 

[saintpauljeff]

Gutless. Pathetic.

I thought Peej said he’d go for it again next time it happened?

 

[tikited]

2 timeouts on punts.

It is just unbelievable.

 

[big10guy]

Our offense is making Iowa's look innovative.

 

[ProfessorBum]

Need one yard. We have huge lineman. But lets not snap under center and push forward 3 feet. Lets do shotgun and run to the right into 3 unblocked defensive players.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

There is no bleeping way Nebraska has sold out 388 conservative games.

 

[rivergopher]

2 timeouts on punts.

Just absolute terrible coaching most coaches would use timeouts on this drive and try to score but.......... this guy nah. His mismanagement of in game is simply astounding. Why are we not using a timeout.

 

[WoodburyTim]

Our coaching is just plain putrid.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

So we burn timeouts for no reason and now we don’t take time outs to attempt to get the ball back at the end of the half.
