***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS WEST VIRGINIA GUARANTEED RATE BOWL IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Nax5]

MN close to busting it open and still can't quite do it...

 

[FormerFatOL]

Tanner starts shaky for the half. Takes a bad sack. Bad throw. Can't get em' lined up on time.

It's time for good Tanner to show up.

 

[gopher7]

Oh no, bad Tanner came out after halftime.

 

[GophersInIowa]

What a waste of a TO.

 

[matt]

That burned timeout is on Tanner.

 

[RolGnav]

A timeout for that?

 

[ForecastingAWin]

Worst TO of the year. And that is saying something

 

[GringaGopher]

Big runs and then the sack and delayed play calling until we call TO only to run nowhere...ugly series.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Lots of guys falling. This field must be shit

 

[GopherPharmaBiz]

Wow this field…. Did we not bring longer spikes to change into at halftime?

 

[#2Gopher]

This baseball field is slippery.

 

[Rickman55]

I’m so glad Morgan is coming back.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

That was a rough set of downs, to say the least.

 

[Replacement Gopher]

3rd and long.
Surprised if we don’t run it.

And of course we ran it

 

[GophersInIowa]

So we called a TO to do that?????

 

[ProfessorBum]

Announcers are dead on. Timeout usage continues to be completely unacceptable.

Yeah. Welcome ESPN announcers to our world. Poor clock management and wasted timeouts is a Fleck hallmark.

 

[Wally]

WTF PJ?
Timeout?

Come on.

 

[Stuff]

Tanner w a brutal start to the half.

The million dollar question is, can KC fix him?

 

[46Gophers]

Good thing we burned a time out to make sure we had that 1 yard running plan all set. That was a sad excuse for an opening drive. One really nice run and then crap.

 

[#2Gopher]

Defense needs to continue to do what it can to salvage this game.

 

[MGGopher]

Super frustrating sequence there but the worst is running it on 3rd and 20 after burning a TO. Maddening. Why not throw a 40 yard pass there? Maybe you catch it or draw a PI. Worst case it's a pick and you've essentially punted.

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

Worst TO of the year. And that is saying something

Really!!! Sometimes I just shake my head and wonder why? Take the penalty, punt and play some D. Nope burn a TO and then run for zero

 

[UpAndUnder43]

This baseball field is slippery.

They are playing on a different surface than the baseball field

 

[Replacement Gopher]

So we called a TO to do that?????

So we knelt it to end the half and then called those plays to start the second?

 

[Nax5]

Some one go and get Mathis' cleats, because ours ain't working on this field.

 

[Stuff]

Wow this field…. Did we not bring longer spikes to change into at halftime?

It may be my imagination, but the slippery field seems to be effecting the Gophers much more than the mountaineers.

It is akin to playing for FGs against Iowa. There is a common theme.

 

[get off my lawn]

Yeah, Tanner has to be more aware than that! A 5th yr senior with as many starts as he's had cannot take a bad sack like that, and should know better than try to change a play with 2 seconds on the play clock on a 3rd and 20!

 

[46Gophers]

MN close to busting it open and still can't quite do it...

The longer WV stays close the more likely we take a L. Not a good start to the half. We should be way up on this crap team!

 

[SPEGOPHER]

Did Wright get hurt? Absolutely MIA after two huge catches to start.
