***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PENN STATE PRIME TIME WHITE OUT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Pompous Elitist]

Oh man, though Mo had the TD. Just give it to him after that run

 

[Ewert86PC]

Mo gets the 100 and the streak continues.

But didn't get in the end zone and PSU goal line stand is imminent.

 

[Vandy]

Spahn-Ford, a bright spot on that drive.

 

[RogueGopher]

BSF with an excellent grab to secure the 6 points

 

[Iceland12]

Nice throw and catch for the TD.

 

[RogueGopher]

Spahn-Ford, a bright spot on that drive.

and MO!

 

[gopherguy06]

Now just more of that

 

[golden_girl]

Fleck must have promised Mo the touchdown record, the 100 yards record, etc. if he came back. It would explain the one dimensional offense.

Athan can play. I really do think without any good O Line or Wideout play, he’s the play over Morgan.

I like him for the next couple years. Develop him.

Having a QB that can run in this offense is essential and Wheels Morgan just can't really.

 

[oak_street1981]

At this point they might as will play AK#8 the rest of the year and let him get in a groove.

 

[Live in the now]

Penn state is a 16 in the country and the gophers haven’t beaten a decent team yet so I guess this shouldn’t be shocking. It does look a little stale though.

 

[Vandy]

Is this the QB of the future? had all week to practice and the best you can do is four completions. Just get Mo to 100 and don't fu*k things up. Sheesh can't have nothing nice anymore.

Dude, have you SEEN the blocking and the lack of separation generated by the receivers, not to mention the lack of fight for 50/50 balls? Pay attention.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Potts is running in cement every play. How can they not have another option?

There's a guy on the west coast who ran for 100+ yards and pulled in 50+ more through the air and a TD today who'd have been real nice to still have on the roster

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

Imagine if Fleck had the intelligence to let 8 throw it after the huge turnover? Might have been a different game.

 

[Yah-E]

At least Mo Got his 15th

 

[Gophergrandpa]

I think this is the first time I've seen a Fleck team simply quit.

I don’t think they’ve quit. Our WRs aren’t good. Our OL has some soft spots. But they are still trying. Athan and BSF are all in.

 

[kg21]

Athan can play. I really do think without any good O Line or Wideout play, he’s the play over Morgan.

I like him for the next couple years. Develop him.

I agree, but we will waste him with no receivers and an average at best offensive line.

I don't even want to get into the defense.

Yes, I'm quite depressed about going forward.

 

[RogueGopher]

How was Penn State not prepared for an onside kick attempt?

 

[Ewert86PC]

Announcers already playing the moral victory song about not giving up in a game like this. The mediocrity makes me nauseous. Of course, you don't give up in games like this! It's a given for any competent Power 5 Conference team, moron. Jesus, grant me the strength to not pummel these idiots with all the pent up rage from my 1980s student season tickets experience.

 

[Six to Eight]

Thats what a big chunk of the fanbase wants. Traditional Big Ten approach. The bigger concern is the talent at some spots, eg WR, has been pretty woeful. Recruiting is his reason for being.

I guess I'll take your word for it on the fan base but I would think winning would be more important than style. It's not often the Johnny come latelies drop in and beat the established powers at their own game.

 

[Vandy]

There's a guy on the west coast who ran for 100+ yards and pulled in 50+ more through the air and a TD today who'd have been real nice to still have on the roster

He took his business elsewhere, for whatever reason...

 

[Six to Eight]

Athan looked good. I'm optimistic about QB at least.

 

[Panthadad2]

So, as a hypothetical, I wonder if the game is close if the Gophs get even one break from the refs instead of all against.

BTW, Mo's big 4th down run where he almost scored, was a score. These refs effing suck.

 

[skiumah1]

Having a QB that can run in this offense is essential and Wheels Morgan just can't really.

Gotta think Fleck goes back to Morgan when healthy. It’s the wrong choice, but likely I’d think.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Is this the QB of the future? had all week to practice and the best you can do is four completions. Just get Mo to 100 and don't fu*k things up. Sheesh can't have nothing nice anymore.

It’s almost as if QB isn’t the main issue.

 

[kg21]

How was Penn State not prepared for an onside kick attempt?

because he was stunned the gopher staff had the balls to try it?

 

[FlaGopher23]

I feel like I‘m watching a Jerry Kill coached team. We just don’t have the talent other than Mo and BSF and that is the big problem. I like AK and he has the potential to be the best QB we have had in over a decade.

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

I’m starting to think NCAA football needs to have an elite league, kind of like soccer? A league with maybe the top 30 teams, 35 teams that can actually compete with each other? With NIL that’s gotta be the next step. Each year you can have maybe 5 to 10 teams move down and 5 to 10 teams move up if it’s warranted?

 

[Panthadad2]

I don’t think they’ve quit. Our WRs aren’t good. Our OL has some soft spots. But they are still trying. Athan and BSF are all in.

Aimed more towards the defense.
