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

[ForecastingAWin]

Looks like Thomas is playing through something today.

Yea, he just seems a little slow getting up after most carries. Hopefully its not serious

 

[Replacement Gopher]

He usually fields them and fair catches. I don't care. He has yet to turn the ball over on a punt. Job #1.

We must’ve watching different teams. Seems we consistently let them bounce and roll.

This. So frustrating. They keep playing like they have all RBs healthy.

our OC does not adapt

 

[stocker08]

The BG loss has been making betting on the Gophers basically free money. Won both halves last week.....and they were only favored by four in the first half here.

 

[howeda7]

Ugh.

 

[salzie]

Oh my

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Everyone better be cool with that cause it was more aggressive.

 

[Replacement Gopher]

Well, we just saw the last time we will ever play for a TD at the end of the half.

 

[salzie]

Should've ran it

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Oh man, turtle O coming.

 

[TruthSeeker]

Well, we tried to score a TD before the end of the half this week.

Our end of half offense continues to be garbage.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Bad break. Can't complain though.

 

[salzie]

Should've ran it

For sarcasm challenged, I wasn't serious, but that hurt

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

Terrible throw

 

[GopherWeatherGuy]

That’s on Morgan. Terrible pass

 

[salzie]

That’s on Morgan. Terrible pass

I'm Morgan guy, but that wasn't good.


Ugg

 

[fmlizard]

It has to be very frustrating playing against the Gophers. Always possessing the ball and forever playing D

 

[gopherfan007]

Is that why we don't throw in the final minute or so?

 

[upnorthkid]

Nice to see good Tanner so far today

Welp….

[skiumah1]

Keep throwing the ball please, it’s fine Mike/PJ.

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

C +

 

[RolGnav]

A lot of points left on the board, but all in all, good first half. Might be enough to beat Northwestern, but probably not Iowa and Wisconsin.

 

[gopherdudepart2]

That’s on Morgan. Terrible pass

Agreed that was an awful throw by Morgan, took possible points off the board.

 

[Word]

I'm Morgan guy, but that wasn't good.


Ugg

Yeah- led him by over a yard.

Morgan and Daniel Jackson just don't seem to connect.

 

[ForecastingAWin]

Fine with the pick. Missed on the throw, but Morgan has been solid to that point so let him throw.. Prefer going for the jugular to playing not to lose. Win some, lose some

 

[GophersInIowa]

Everyone better be cool with that cause it was more aggressive.

Absolutely. It would have been about a 40 yard FG. The chances of a turnover are still pretty low.

 

[#2Gopher]

C +

B

 

[WAGopher]

C +

I agree with that. Sanford’s calling a C game and Rossi a B.

 

[hungan1]

We thought the Gophers were too conservative before the end of the half in a previous game. Today, I think they should have been conservative and kick the field goal. We hear you, coach.
