Anyone know who the superstar announcing team will be?Probably has more to do with NW than the Gophers.

Like we did vs EMU.Obviously, need to win. But, really hope we don’t just pound the ball all game. Think we can probably run it 45 times today and come away with a 21-6 win, but thats not gonna help us later in the year if we still don’t have a passing game. Gotta get some confidence, get athan in a rhythm, find some plays and schemes that work for him to get the playmakers involved. Season is still young, and the big 10 is wide open.
Byington isn’t too bad, Herron is pretty trash.Minnesota @ Northwestern
7:30 p.m. Big Ten Network
Lisa Byington, Anthony Herron, Elise Menaker
Looks like I'll be DVR syncing up the tv to KFAN again!
Hopefully not “cheese and rice!” soup on the menu today, as my more pious and proper acquaintances used to sayLast week's chili didn't agree with the Billds at all. Having chicken and rice soup for this game. Hoping to embrace 5-alarm chili again going forward from here.
I just hope we don’t run Taylor into the ground - even if it’s working. Find a second back and/or work on the passing game please.
This is exactly my feeling going into this game. We will more than likely have a chance to work on the passing game due to the overall win never being in doubt, but Fleck will want this win so badly he's just going to cram it down their throats the whole game and we'll win easily but miss a chance to work out some major areas of concern.I just hope we don’t run Taylor into the ground - even if it’s working.

We currently have 0 plays over 30 yards.1.5 is a good number for plays over 30 yards. I’d probably take the under. 1 would be our first? Or do we have 2 so far on the season…
Nope on cheese. Mrs. Billd and Kiddo avoid dairy, gluten, soy, and about every other thing that has flavor. I just summarize to they are "food free" that leaves fixing everything that is true food to me.Hopefully not “cheese and rice!” soup on the menu today, as my more pious and proper acquaintances used to say
You don't throw or run based on some subjective intangible like "identity." You choose your play based on game conditions and the situation. Down, score, opponent, field position, weather, injuries, field condition, lateral placement of the ball, time outs remaining, time remaining in the game and probably a dozen other factors. "Identity" sounds like one of the inane expressions like "put air under the ball' or "put points on the board" that is uttered to make the speaker sound like an oh-so-in, cool fan. Seems like if your perception of your team's "identity" is well-developed and influences you choice of calls, opponents would be better prepared to defend against you. I care about gaining yards, getting first downs, sustaining drives, and scoring. I don't care how I do it.To me it means that when we have a big third down or a big play we don’t yet know confidently whether we should run or pass. It will come. But we aren’t there yet.
My only thought is that the Gophers should win by 11 or more, but what team will show up?Enlighten me: per ESPN we are an 11 point favorite today. How do we only have a 57% probability of winning?
After 3 games the Gophs have had a total of 0 plays that have gone over 30 yards. And we have already played one of the poorer defense in college football: Eastern Michigan. So five is a pretty, pretty aggressive O/U number. My brain says take the under (especially if our offense consists of running true Frosh Taylor into the ground). But my heart says take the over. Go Gophers!Five
Yep, we know the stats. I’m looking for a breakout.After 3 games the Gophs have had a total of 0 plays that have gone over 30 yards.

Speaking of weather. Rain moving in. Firing up the Baird Televisor for watching tonight's contest. Has a quality resolution of 174p with a refresh rate of 12 hz. Quality viewing in 1931.Weather wise it's a good thing this game is on the road.
All week long the B1G Network has relegated the Gopher game as an after thought.
The conference schedule is too tough to get through without a decent passing game. Also, as others have noted, Taylor should not be run into the ground. He's not Mo.Obviously, need to win. But, really hope we don’t just pound the ball all game. Think we can probably run it 45 times today and come away with a 21-6 win, but thats not gonna help us later in the year if we still don’t have a passing game.

Yeah, that matchup predictor is much closer than I suspected it to be.Enlighten me: per ESPN we are an 11 point favorite today. How do we only have a 57% probability of winning?
