"Every time we do an Alabama highlight he stands there in the pocket for like 12 seconds"

Remember this when Bryce Young is a huge NFL bust for some team who picks him top half of Rd1.

6.875 yards per play. That's good! Keep in up but get a few more points in the second half.
 



That last carry Mo had was a clear targeting by 53.
Gophers better put someone in the box to watch all that. Can they relay the information to Fleck on that to have it looked at before the next play?
 




Their player is back from the first half suspension too so should be something to watch.
 


Just jumping in. A little stressful but AK, Mo, receivers, and D doing their part. Heck even the coaches too.

Thought the spot on the 4th down call was BS. Two angles showed forward progress beyond the marker but understand the call on the field was short and not enough to overturn. We miss Seth Green at wildcat. It would seem like maybe 88 could play that role?

Probably noted earlier but MBS needs to modify his catching style somehow to reduce tipped-up balls. It is clearly a pattern that hopefully can be taught. Granted, the balls from Tanner and Athan have "mustard" as the announcer has noted. But his misses go up and not down...at least twice this season to a defender.

Guarded optimism coming into the second half...
 


Great half overall. Held them to 133 yards and 6 points. AK is getting it done on the ground and through the air. He looks more aggressive and athletic running the ball today than he had shown in prior weeks even thought I saw some some shake and bake early on lol. Right now Mo is putting up 5 yards per carry. True to MN fandom I expect a butt clencher going into the fourth but right now all is good.

I don't see a lot of upside with MBS. He's not physical, not particularly fast and too often tries to catch with his body. He's received college coaching and game time how many years? Let the next guys show what they can do.
 

If we go plus 1 in turnovers second half and don’t miss more kicks than they do we should win. $100 to DTA from me if we win. Anyone else?
 





Do we EVER get a play in the kick returns?
