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

[howeda7]

How do you punt there? If you hold them 3 and out you'll get it back either way and if you don't the game is over. Terrible game management.

 

[SuperMeat]

Cowardly punt, but also cowardly playcalling

 

[StormWatch08]

I don't care that the punt was downed at the 1. I think the call there was to go for it

 

[USAF]

And again we don't throw it to the sticks.
F stupid

 

[fmlizard]

I would have tried to go for it on only 4th and 6 and in that spot on the field. Too easy to never get the ball back here.

 

[stocker08]

Punting was the right move. Bryson stopping that at the three when we had guys waiting on the one was f***ing idiotic.

 

[StudentSectionMenace]

Ugh 16 almost rolled himself into the end zone trying to down the punt. In what universe would you down a punt like that so close to the end zone?

 

[UpAndUnder43]

I don’t think the gophers get the ball back

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Sweet decision. 5 yards short of the sticks

 

[Ewert86PC]

No horse collar on Brockington's catch?

 

[BronkosGhost]

And everyone agrees with you.

Maybe most people buy not everyone.

 

[btowngopher]

Yeah I don’t like punting there, but we’ll see if it works.

That's what upsets you??

Good god. First football game?

If we get a 3 and out here we get the ball back around midfield with 2 minutes left. Only need a FG (which makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit)

 

[IceBoxGopher]

And again we don't throw it to the sticks.
F stupid

I just don't get it. Basically the same as trying to run it up the middle on that play.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

I don’t think the gophers get the ball back

Why are you the way that you are?

 

[#2Gopher]

I don’t think the gophers get the ball back

We've got a few people like you on the board tonight with negative thinking. I think we do get it back.

 

[Yah-E]

Seriously? Punt with 2:44 left when their O kept the ball of 10 minutes with their last drive!?

We just lost

Fucking PJ with shit play calls

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Was it not a better deep ball than any of Brosmers?

For sure. It was an incredibly weird time to bring up Brosmer.

Garners also missed a wide open TD abd through 2 picks.

We get it, you find a way to blame Brosmer for everything. I’m sure you give Max about 45-55% of the blame for Greg Johnson whiffing on blocks.

Says the guy wondering why we aren't throwing deep on 3rd and 18.

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

In the last 2 seasons this offense has been able to close out 2 games. They’ve failed in about 10 games. That’s horrific.

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Ugh 16 almost rolled himself into the end zone trying to down the punt. In what universe would you down a punt like that so close to the end zone?

In college it doesn't matter, it happened against Iowa too. As long as you have possession outside of the end zone you're good

 

[howeda7]

If we get a 3 and out here we get the ball back around midfield with 2 minutes left. Only need a FG (which makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit)

I'll take two chances, first at converting then at stopping them, vs one.

 

[USAF]

I just don't get it. Basically the same as trying to run it up the middle on that play.

I've been told by the experts here it's impossible to convert on 3rd and long. No point trying

 

[Ewert86PC]

Get a safety.

 

[rivergopher]

Stupid punt

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Ugh 16 almost rolled himself into the end zone trying to down the punt. In what universe would you down a punt like that so close to the end zone?

This isn't the NFL. Bryson can be completely in the end zone. The position of the ball is all that matters.

 

[upnorthkid]

we got the other version of PJ this week yall.

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

PJ has no confidence in them, it’s why he punted.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

For sure. It was an incredibly weird time to bring up Brosmer.

He throws it short of the sticks all the time too.
