THANK GOD NEBRASKA INTERCEPTED IT SO THEY CAN FINALLY SWITCH TO THE GOPHER GAME ON THE WEST COAST

On all coasts.

 

[BleedGopher]

Love Taylor, he's better out of the backfield catching balls than many of our stud RBs have been.

Go Gophers!!

 

[fmlizard]

Good balance by Taylor on that run turning a 3rd and long into first down

 

[nitramnaed]

Nuts!

 

[Ho Jon]

Kaliakmanus holds the ball too long on those zone reads.

 

[Panthadad2]

BTN with a ridiculously bad stat saying Taylor was the first RB to have back to back 100 yard games since 2003. I assume they meant "freshman" RB?

 

[stocker08]

Three straight runs and punt. Brilliant offense.

 

[fmlizard]

Punting on 4th and 3 inside the opponent's 40 yard line?

 

[DanvilleGopher]

3rd and 5 and they run it... no trust still in the QB.

Why do they not have plays for this?

 

[GophersInIowa]

I thought our offense was supposed to be different? Same conservative BS.

 

[Ho Jon]

Sweep to the short side of the field with Bryce. Great call....

 

[FredCoxRocks]

There. Finally. 9:00 left in 1st quarter.
It’s like a home game and I walked up to the stadium 1/2 hour before kickoff and got hung up in security.

 

[GopherWeatherGuy]

WTF was that play call?

 

[Panthadad2]

Three straight runs and punt. Brilliant offense.

Especially Williams on 3rd down who inexplicably decides to bounce it outside to nowhere instead hitting the hole.

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

Wtf kind of drive was that? Two passes and two first downs, three straight runs and then punt.

 

[USAF]

WTF was that? Run Williams on 3rd and five?
Fucking idiotic

 

[46Gophers]

What a horsesh*t play call on 3rd down. Terrible!!

 

[bleedsmaroonandgold]

Did we just punt on 4th and 3 from inside the other teams 40 for a net of 28 yards? I'd like to have seen him go for it, and from what I hear about our kickers leg, I think I would have even preferred giving a 56 yarder a try. Giving Northwestern the ball on their side of midfield doesn't scare me.

 

[stocker08]

There is almost zero creativity with this offense.

 

[DarthGopher]

Our OC sucks.

 

[Polski]

If you run it on 3rd & 5, it often means you have plans to go for it on 4th.

Frustrating.

 

[rivergopher]

Ryan Burns and Kane rob talked this QB up the whole off season. No trust in him what so ever. WE punt from the 39 my god.

 

[btowngopher]

There is almost zero creativity with this offense.

To be fair it was a creative run.

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

3rd and 5 and they run it... no trust still in the QB.

Why do they not have plays for this?

Because AK is a good soldier and listens to his coaches. Instead of calling an audible into something else.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Northwestern TV tag: First opening drive not allowing a touchdown.

And it had to be us.

 

[rivergopher]

To be fair it was a creative run.

With a 7th year guy that has broken 5 tackles in 7 years. This offense is awful.

 

[#2Gopher]

Well at least the uniforms look nice that is often a hot topic during the week.

 

[USAF]

I want elite, PJ. This offense is not elite.
At least TRY for elite.

 

[btowngopher]

I’m ok with punting there against a bad offense. Against UNC I wouldn’t like it.
