***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT wisconsin PAUL BUNYAN AXE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[gopherbadgerman]

Go for it here

 

[fmlizard]

Gopher it

 

[Hungry and Starving]

Go for it. Fake it and run AK

 

[Word]

I think this is into the wind so may be a factor.

 

[howeda7]

Oh PJ.

 

[GophersInIowa]

They had 12 men on the field there. Just needed to snap the ball after the offense lined up.

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

Kick the FG

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Needed to snap the ball there. Instead PJ gets to use a timeout

 

[Word]

don't mind that timeout...play wasn't gonna work

 

[stocker08]

Where's this passing game been all year?

Saving it for the Axe game?

 

[Grant]

Oh god. Disaster now if we don’t get it. Damn!!

 

[upnorthkid]

Do we EVER get a play in the kick returns?

We had one vs Illinois which to me must be the only reason he’s still back there as he’s been awful all season

 

[Live in the now]

Correct call. Can't do that.

Stocker you know I like you but that was a dive. What a bad call. Let’s move in. Let’s call it touching the passer. Watering down football every year. Sad really.

 

[howeda7]

Kick the FG

This length into the wind is 50/50 at best.

 

[Hungry and Starving]

We need 2 yards so we better get at least 4 with Barry Alvarez spotting the ball

 

[cjbfbp]

Why are we not kicking a field goal?

 

[USAF]

They had 12 men on the field there. Just needed to snap the ball after the offense lined up.

Could we count on that call??

 

[Allshade]

I think it’s a situation where the WR room is pretty thin right now.

I'm not a bragger. But I have better hands than some of these guys.

 

[Grant]

Really don’t want an fga here.

 

[fmlizard]

Trying a FG from here with a college kicker into the wind to go up 7 points on 4th and 2 would be an analytically terrible call

 

[RogueGopher]

I miss the Seth Green wildcat. These 4th downs were never a doubt.

 

[Gophers1992]

Relax folks, situations like these are what timeouts are for.

 

[Word]

Stocker you know I like you but that was a dive. What a bad call. Let’s move in. Let’s call it touching the passer. Watering down football every year. Sad really.

That play hasn't been allowed for about 10 years (unless you're Michigan or OSU).

You can't hit the QB late. That guy could have easily pulled up. It's a penalty.

 

[USAF]

LOL. He took 2 full strides after the ball was away, lowered his shoulder and blasted Kaliakmanis.

Clear roughing.

 

[howeda7]

"His helmet slid up"...

 

[big10guy]

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...

MBS needs to be replaced in next year's lineup by a transfer or freshman receiver who can catch. Just way too many drops, not sure that can be cured.

Lol.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Just run the normal offense and spread em out.

 

[stocker08]

Hard count. Herbig has been jumping the line every down.
