Saw that coming.

 

[RolGnav]

Great job Leidner.

 

[Iceland12]

It's over.

 

[McGopherFan]

That's it.
Oh well. Hope it is not 7 more years of badluck.

Why not run the ball down here? We had plenty of time. Instead we go for low probability throws down the field.

 

[BBQ Platypus]

This was psychological. They came into this one believing their own bull****. Can't win just by showing up.

 

[50PoundHead]

Kind of an odd sequence after the big play. Both in terms of playcalling and execution.

 

[StCroix]

We really didn't play well enough to win the whole game. Time to re-group and get ready for the gauntlet. Still have a chance for a good bowl game. Ski-U-Mah!!

terrible play calling (even if it works)

 

[McGopherFan]

I was hoping for a trip to Indy. I won't settle for Detroit.

While I agree we could have run, I think ML7 had IF14 for a TD on that slant.

 

[DocfromDarwin]

You are correct Worst coaching job in a longtime...no one was ready to play

 

[Halsey Hall]

I'd like to buy a qb Pat

Time to avoid GopherHole for a week. Most of you would have taken 6-2 (3-1) at the start of the season.

 

[Governor Sibley]

This one is on the coaches and our seniors on offense.

 

[tikited]

Terrible play calls once again. Only needed a first down. They went for it all every time. Don't get it.

None of the "not ready to play" stuff explains the 4th Quarter.

 

[BBQ Platypus]

6-6 is very possible.

 

[Torres9]

We were kidding ourselves. We're just not that good.

None of us would have taken a loss to Illinois.

 

[McGopherFan]

Failed game plan- they did not seem to show up. At least not for every play. First half was painful.

This was psychological. They came into this one believing their own bull****. Can't win just by showing up.

 

[tap]

somethings never change-another year another clunker.

 

[Markous15]

So your saying there's a chance.....

 

[FlaGopher23]

How does this happen.

 

[MirandaB]

I understand Beckman is grateful for a small reprieve, but he's bugging the hell out of me right now.

Where the ball gets thrown is not always the play call my friend. Hard to say that for sure
