***OFFICIAL NORTH CAROLINA AT MINNESOTA 2024 SEASON OPENER IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[short ornery norwegian]

The tackling is in mid-season form. The Twins are off tonight, but I still get to watch a team swing-and-miss.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Missing tackles, getting out juked, oye!

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

That 1st and goal sequence and doink completely sucked the life out of this place.

 

[oldman]

D has no situational awareness

 

[MGGopher]

Just absolutely killing themselves out there. Penalties, letting punts hit the ground, missed chip shot FG, inaccurate passes, letting an average runner at QB escape the pocket. Lotta time left of course, but it ain’t looking good…or much different than last year.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

We rarely can handle good running QBs

Johnson is far from a good running QB.

 

[Stuff]

PJ is going to shift into "try and not get blown out mode".

 

[upnorthkid]

But guys, he’s quicker than you think- things said about mediocre running qbs to try justify why it’s not just fucking awful angles and twckling

 

[Ski-UT-Mah]

PJ please for the love of all that is good in the world stop calling timeouts

 

[ChromeDomeGopher]

Undisciplined

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

All right. They punched us in the face and drew blood. Time to counterpunch!

 

[mngg11]

Making Brad Johnsons kid look like Michael Vick. Only in Minnesota.

 

[adchester]

Team looks very similar to last year. Bad offense, good defense but not elite. Not good enough to make up for how rough the offense looks.

 

[46Gophers]

Someone tell them they're playing tonight and not on Saturday. They haven't come to play yet. They need to get it going soon!

 

[007gopherfan]

Our OC is sh*t.

The Co-Coordinators doesn't work. Think Fleck getting in his way to let Matt Simon get the job outright was a big mistake.

If you’re going to blitz like banshees you have to be able to break down and tackle. Numerous plays in the backfield and they’ve missed literally every one tonight

 

[Gophergrandpa]

We’re not using the whole offensive playbook, because we don’t want to tip things to RI and Nevada.

 

[Angry]

The gopher D are chairs.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

We rarely can handle good running QBs

Or bad running ones. Max Johnson had 41 total yards rushing the last 3 seasons (while playing a lot).

 

[Unregistered User]

NDSU leading Colorado at halftime.

There is a thread for that, and this isn’t it.

 

[oldman]

Here come bosmar part 4

 

[Tully55]

Gophers playing with their heads so far up their a$$ they can smell the pancakes they had for breakfast

 

[Ewert86PC]

PJ is going to shift into "try and not get blown out mode".

RUTM, tum, tum....

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Team looks very similar to last year. Bad offense, good defense but not elite.

I wouldn't say that the defense was "good" last year.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Our o line can’t handle a 4 man rush.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

That miniature guard is comical looking but has some motor

Team has some issues in early goings. Giving up the 3rd and 9 to a lumbering qb isn’t ideal.

Plenty of time left.

 

[BTChamp]

Time to panic. Season's over. Quinn Carrol looking like benhart

 

[upnorthkid]

Embarrassing

 

[MGGopher]

Man, the offense looks bad. Carroll putting his head down and whiffing…and Brosmer has no idea where to go with the ball.
Sad.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Moving to guard can't hide Carrols lack of pass pro ability
