***OFFICIAL NEBRASKA AT MINNESOTA SEASON OPENING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[60's Guy]

“Jeff Sims is the best player on the field.”

Proceeds to throw 3 interceptions.

Ya well, his coach is an idiot. Why the hell is he throwing the ball???? He gained dang near 10 yards every time he ran.

 

[MNVCGUY]

I'm glad I was at the H.S. game and only caught the last 4:35 of game time.

ditto. I mean I plan to watch the recording but definitely missed the bad stuff and got to see the great stuff.

 

[Holy Man]

I almost feel sorry for the Nebraska fans!

Key word “almost.”

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Bullshit

Besides you our favorite .

Everyone, I took my gummy’s 2 early

 

[CoMn]

Nebraska will figure out a way to blow this.

That aged well!!

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Good win. Stop messing around with Bryce Williams. It’s TnT time. Taylor and Tyler. Happy for the win but shouldn’t be a last minute FG when you are +3 on turnovers.

Yeah, Tyler was clearly the better runner.

 

[Soon2B8]

Good old Nebby - still scared to succeed

But they won’t do that in the future- Ruhle is an excellent coach

He'll leave for nfl again

 

[GopherVotary]

Jackson seems to leave a lot to be desired

Disagree.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

He'll leave for nfl again

That’s what I was thinking

 

[Live in the now]

That aged well!!

My cousin went there for school in the late 90s when they won all those nattys. He is beside himself, I can’t believe he doesn’t drink.

 

[CoMn]

Wish we would have taken the penalty and gone for 2

Hmmmm....glad we didn't

 

[GopherVotary]

Outside of pick 6 or fumble TD, we lost

My weekend is ruined

What a great football mind.

 

[Tully55]

5 in a row
6 out of last 7
36-25-2 all time

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

Only took Fleck 4 quarters to figure out he should switch rb’s. Wasting great talent if he doesn’t figure out how to run an offense.

 

[Dave H]

A win is a MF’ing win.

This.

 

[DCinOK]

Amazing...I had given up hope. What a finish...man oh man.

 

[upnorthkid]

Only took Fleck 4 quarters to figure out he should switch rb’s. Wasting great talent if he doesn’t figure out how to run an offense.

Minus that Tyler had the biggest run of the game to get us in easier range but sure

 

[DEGopherfan]

That was amazing. Reminded me of some of the 2019 Wins. They just didn’t give up. Have to give PJ credit for instilling that culture in these young men.

 

[GoForGold]

That game looked like a vintage Iowa win.

Exactly, winning in a large part on turnovers is thrilling and so gut-wrenching for the losing side, as we all know.

 

[GopherFanatic19]

Nebraska had a good run in the 90s but they will always be our little sister

 

[Dave H]

Bullshit

You just don't get it do ya...

 

[Live in the now]

Wow what an ending. Nubin is a stud.

That’s a serious bomb in college outside. Don’t see that all the time.

 

[GopherVotary]

PJ getting out oached. Again

Damn, that sucks.

 

[cncmin]

Jackson seems to leave a lot to be desired

this didn’t age well.

 

[laazrakit]

Have to give PJ credit for instilling that culture in these young men.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that I'm giving Coach Rossi that credit... He kept the defense calm and they performed magnificently. PJ and them 2 coordinators are gonna need to get that offense squared away.

 

[Panthadad2]

1) O-line needs to work out the kinks. A lot of missed blocks on plays that could have had big gains if not for straight up whiffs.

2) The above is paired with AK having a better completion percentage.

3) Running game was terrible and needs to improve. Nebby had free hats on seemingly every running play. Coaches need to figure out what plays will work with this personnel group. See #1 above.

4) What happened to Lindenberg? They really needed him against this running QB. It showed.

5) Very good performance again by a very good Gopher defense. Thank goodness the Gophs have a D.

6) Nubin a total stud. Kicker is a stud. Jackson a stud (made up for a bad drop). Crooms looks really good.

Good win. Stop messing around with Bryce Williams. It’s TnT time. Taylor and Tyler. Happy for the win but shouldn’t be a last minute FG when you are +3 on turnovers.

Williams is not flashy, but plays a huge role in pass protection. AK gets sacked with someone coming clean up the middle, if Bryce was in there, it wouldn't happen. Also, make a couple of clutch catches late in the game on the short side if the field.

 

[XMan]

What is the story in C Autman Bell?

 

[Stuff]

Nebraska will figure out a way to blow this.

I have to give you props. You were 100% correct.

 

[Iceland12]

Ya well, his coach is an idiot. Why the hell is he throwing the ball???? He gained dang near 10 yards every time he ran.

Seemed that way to me too. He did gain 91 yards on the ground on 19 carries. He threw for 114 by going 11/19. Pretty damned balanced.

Think it changed when the Gopher Defense finally started to shadow him all over the field.
