***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT UCLA AT ROSE BOWL STADIUM IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[DarthGopher]

0 points in the first half. Goddamn embarrassing.

 

[USAF]

Leave PJ at UCLA.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

I’m ready for the Danny stringow area to be over.

Why?

 

[IceBoxGopher]

Total trash first half. Second better be fire.

 

[BTChamp]

If Minnesota can't score at least 11 points in the 2nd half. I want heads to roll. Ok, maybe not that extreme but holy shit how can they look so shitty

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Our OL getting their teeth kicked in.

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

Our punter is good at two things:
1. Short punts
2. Low line drives

But he’s from Australia.

 

[rivergopher]

that's an interesting guy to single out. haven't really noticed anything particularly bad and seen him have a pressure or two

1 tackle, 2 missed. How many times does he crash in and lose contain. He is not a starter on a good big ten team. He looses outside leverage consistently.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

Punter sucks

 

[Vandy]

Time for some brilliant halftime adjustments.

I'm not sure if you expect the "thumbs up" or "laughter" emoji.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Will we make adjustments at halftime?

 

[bleedsmaroonandgold]

Wonder what our play calling would have looked like if we got the ball at our own 37 with 46 seconds left in the half and one time out. UCLA was a bad pass from turning that situation into a TD.

 

[Panthadad2]

Minnesota 84 GD yards at the half. Unbelievable.

i mean who do you fire when the whole team looks like hot garbage? whatever gameplan harbaugh drew up however, yeesh

 

[gopherdudepart2]

Nice pass blocking #65

He isn't a center, and not good at it.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

1 tackle, 2 missed. How many times does he crash in and lose contain. He is not a starter on a good big ten team. He looses outside leverage consistently.

He’s a starter on just about every Big 10 team.

 

[bleedsmaroonandgold]

Will we make adjustments at halftime?

Do we have any more of those Sprite pills?

 

[Vandy]

But he’s from Australia.

Yup, toilets flush backwards down there.

 

[oldman]

Lucky its only ten.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

All I can think of is the George Costanza line: "I'm speechless! I have no speech."

 

[GophersInIowa]

Our OL getting their teeth kicked in.

And when they give Brosmer time, apparently nobody is open.

 

[kg21]

UCLA receivers are great.

Our receivers can't get one inch of separation. Not an inch.

It's pathetic.

 

[Word]

Hard to keep a game plan when you can't run and little time for the QB. O-line looks to have reverted to unc form.

 

[Gopher028]

I will say, going back to brew, kill and with PJ
the W/W/W look has been an constant loser.
Something about that uni combo has always given us losses.

yeah yeah I know the game isn't over, but dammit it feels like a wasted trip to LA

 

[BTChamp]

I'm not sure if you expect the "thumbs up" or "laughter" emoji.

That reply got a laugh emoji because, well, it fits.

 

[BronkosGhost]

7 1/2 Games into the season and I'm still waiting for the passing game to develop.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Wonder what our play calling would have looked like if we got the ball at our own 37 with 46 seconds left in the half and one time out. UCLA was a bad pass from turning that situation into a TD.

Run, run, get ball in middle of field to set up a long FG. Miss Fg.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Terrible first half. But this game can still be won. Not feeling good but not feeling like we are done.

I agree. It’s a bad half but the game is not over. Could easily be 17-0.

 

[Panthadad2]

Minnesota 84 GD yards at the half. Unbelievable.

And a missed chip shot field goal on one of very few trips into UCLA territory. The Golden Fleck's seem to reserve a a few games per year like this.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

d looks out of sync today. blitzing when soft at the back. pressing when rushing 4. have to sort themselves out

I think our O looks way more out of sync than D .., back to very predictable play calling. It was really interesting to watch the offenses in Illinois vs Purdue. But we are still in the game. If we can score 24 on USC, we shouldn’t get shut out by UCLA.
