***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT RUTGERS "THIS GAME IS PERSONAL" QB BATTLE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Gophergrandpa]

One thing Athan brings is the downfield throw, which can be completed (legally or by OPI) or a DPI. We don’t do a lot of that … not enough speed or height at WR position. Still a close game. Make good adjustments at halftime. Can’t let AK have a 400+ yard game.

And...

You're blaming the call when our QB had time and open wr ?


Okay

 

[MaxyJR1]

Call TO to give Perich a shot.

 

[Border Gopher]

You grow up watching coaches taking a timeout and forcing them to get a punt off. PJ knows better than every other coach though

 

[GFBfan]

Why not call TO and make them punt to give Koi a chance to return it or try to block the punt?

100%. costs you literally nothing

 

[StudentSectionMenace]

I think for those of us who saw Driver on D it was probably Za'Quan Bryan, also #4, but the announcers said Driver

I rewound it to double check and yeah it was Bryan. Feel stupid now. When I originally saw the play I thought the name on the back said Driver. Don’t ask me how my eyes messed that up.

So far this game has the look of the one team off a big road win, favorite on the road in their next game and ends up coming out flat.

The home team coming off a bye after a blow out loss in their last game.

Sets up for a nice situational spot for the home dog.

 

[GFBfan]

How is it on him?

Because he’s the HC.
There’s minimal downside to having them punt in that situation, but there is a chance to block it or set up a return and get some points.

Okay

I'd rather have a safe throw and catch (screen). Gives a chance for a short 4th down play if they don't get the first.

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

If you make them punt and it's short enough you give Dragon a chance to free kick as well

The official Maryland thread was 12 pages in a comfortable win.

Whiners have turned this into 15 pages by half.

5 Rushing attempts at the half when Darius is averaging 5.3 a carry is stupid.

Many of us were at that game.

Even if you are worried about a muff, don't put a returner back there. Who cares if the ball rolls to the 5?

First time all year I’ve been able to sit and watch a full game. Sorry for adding too many pages

 

[Mulligan]

I hope they are going to up the pressure on AK in the second half. I don't have much hope our protection for Max is going to be better.

Way to add quality content.

 

[Jack jones]

One thing is certain that #77 will help the QB get to his feet after getting sacked. But then it is usually his man making the tackle.

 

[stocker08]

With how bad we’ve looked so far, being down 5 isn’t terrible

Yup. We start with the ball out of half. I expect a much tighter second half from the entire team.

Hopefully the gophers come out strong, and the dinks can go into hiding

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Being down 5 a bit lucky. Could have the lead before they even touch the ball again. Need that to happen

My bad I tought you were referencing the decision to punt.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

5 touches for Darius Taylor is unacceptable

 

[USAF]

Points before halftime would have been pretty nice. Would have been a chance for back to back scores.

Didn't like the 3rd down long pass.

 

[fmlizard]

the attendance doesn't look as dire as before after the late arrivals

 

[Igor95]

Just gotta’ find a way to win this game today to keep the good times going.

 

[everybody knows my name]

At halftime Darius Taylor has five carries.

Why does Fleck not want to succeed by running?

 

[Go4]

this is a hard game to watch right now.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Agree much fuller now
