***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PURDUE BOUNCE BACK GAME IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[U2Gopher]

P.S. How has Purdue lost so many games this year?

They haven’t been able to play against our defense and PJ until today.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

we might test some of those preseason hypotheticals where we ask "if the Gophers were terrible but still beat iowa and wisconsin would you be okay with the season?"

I know my answer already: No!

 

[gopherdudepart2]

They're holding on every play. The fact that they've called zero is a joke.

I know, but because the defense has played poorly the refs have swallowed whistles today.

 

[GoodasGold]

Looks like “2nd Half Kaliakmanis” is here …

Perhaps he just tires easily?

 

[upnorthkid]

we do realize we need to maximize possessions right now right?

 

[short ornery norwegian]

And it's 2nd-half AK again.

 

[U2Gopher]

Meanwhile FLip Dixon having a big day.

Do we know why he transferred???

 

[stocker08]

Why even throw that ball? Run it and pick up a few yards.

 

[gopherdudepart2]

Can AK not run the football?

 

[goldengophers]

BSF=Josh Oliver

 

[USAF]

Hahahaha. 2nd and 10, run to the short side. 3rd and long

 

[gopherdudepart2]

Purdue was offside

 

[howeda7]

At least the Illinois game can stop stinging. It didn't cost us anything except a smirk from fat Bert and a trip to Detroit.

 

[Iceland12]

Can AK not run the football?

No.

 

[tikited]

Hahahaha. 2nd and 10, run to the short side. 3rd and long

Just insane.

 

[Hungry and Starving]

PJ clearly stands for Punt Jesus

 

[SHGopher]

Flubbed short throw. 2nd and 10.

Angle-outside run block for no gain.

QB taken down near line of scrimmage.

 

[FredCoxRocks]

Oy…I won’t object if my wife asks to do our Target and Menards run a little early.

 

[gopherdudepart2]

Hahahaha. 2nd and 10, run to the short side. 3rd and long

So gross they don't seem to even trust anything else. They said Purdue weak up the middle yet we are running outside zone, stretch to short side. Does this make any sense?

 

[rivergopher]

No.

All this promise he was an athlete, he is not it. You know this stubborn bald midget wont go to the portal.

 

[forever a gopher]

This offense is so laughably bad in the second half of games.

 

[DCinOK]

No one can make a 2 and 7 team look like a 7 and 2 team like the Gophs. Ski u mah.

 

[howeda7]

BSF=Josh Oliver

Qwesi's going to give him $10 million?

 

[SuperMeat]

Such an ugly team to watch. Won't be good for the U with apathy setting in towards football and basketball

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Would they be better than what's been on the field today for the Gophers...?

No flex about it. Both of those players would be better than what they are trotting out there today.

Who is Ortiz better than that is playing? You’ve never seen Ortiz play so I’m curious.

 

[Stuff]

It feels like this team has just given up.

 

[BarnBurner]

Can Mn recruit a punter? Please?

 

[Gopherchase]

Just little things show how dumb PJ is he has the punter kick the ball on all ends of the field with the nose down. Let him fire away from our side of the field he’s pooch kicking from his own 10 yard line LOL.

 

[DCinOK]

You would think the secondary would be a strength with Nubin and Walley back there. They have regressed this year

If Nubin is a 1st round pick, then I'm at least a 3rd.

 

[SuperMeat]

It feels like this team has just given up.

It wouldn't surprise me if the defense specifically has
