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

[MGGopher]

Well, Rutgers is absolutely as bad as advertised. MN playing like they did in those non-con games, honestly. Giving up a few first downs on the ground and slugging on O...running a ton of inside zone.

Saw him 1 play

Thanks, I didn't notice. So perhaps they're just wanting to give BSF more run or have Paulson on a snap count. It's hard to imagine he'd lose his starting job as well as he's played this year.

HERE'S WHAT I'M WATCHING TODAY!!

How effective will our run game be? Are the last three games a mirage or should that be the expectation moving forward?

Here's are Rutgers last six games going backwards, specifically how well each team has been able to run the ball against Rutgers:

Indiana (last week): 38 carries for 260 yards, 6.8 ypc
Maryland: 28 carries for 200 yards, 7.1 ypc
Michigan: 41 carries for 141 yards, 3.4 ypc
Boston College: 61 carries for 271 yards, 4.5 ypc
Iowa: 39 carries for 194 yards, 5.0 ypc

If the offensive line plays well we should be able too average 6+ ypc, and anything less than 5 ypc would be a huge disappointment.

11 carries for 55 so far, off to an OK but not great start.

Gross 1st quarter

BTN announcers just love the fact that their colleague Glen Mason used to coach the Gophs.

They bring it up every single game, always like it's a secret they are letting the audience in on...

Let throw the ball a bit here.

Why was that not targeting?

Does Rutgers have sleeves on their jerseys?

 

[howeda7]

Ugh. Flag.

 

[MGGopher]

Does Rutgers have sleeves on their jerseys?

Indeed. It's their throwback look for homecoming.

 

[howeda7]

I'm surprised they put this game on the main BTN channel instead of IU Maryland

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

That's good, seems like Tyler usually drops the first one.

 

[GoGophersUMN]

How does Rutgers get away with that helmet to helmet hit? Looked like textbook targeting to me. Helmet to helmet hit and lead with the crown of the helmet.

Yeah, I was surprised as well...especially since I live in Indiana. Guess that #20 ranking carries some weight.

 

[howeda7]

Go for it.

 

[Gopherlife]

Rutgers' offense looks horrible, but their defense is really making the Gophers work so far.

 

[howeda7]

Why is MI in so long instead of RS.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Looks like he got there

Good pusuit

 

[GringaGopher]

That 1 yard was too difficult.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Generous measurement.

We’re making it easy with conservative play calling.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

We can push Nebraska around no problem but Rutgers is a different beast.

 

[howeda7]

That's getting overturned.

 

[Replacement Gopher]

Hike the effing ball!

 

[denguegopher]

Well it appears that we got a beneficial spot, but they may correct that...

 

[mnhoopboy]

That'll be Rutgers ball.

He's short. It was a terrible spot. Cmon O-line start blocking.
