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

[GophersInIowa]

Let’s try to score a TD now.

 

[Tully55]

New 2 minute warning rule. That was Not, I repeat Not a Gopher time out.

 

[Unregistered User]

My 84-13 score prediction might barely be short.

Yeah, no way they score 13.

Athan Kaliakmanis v Howard U

C/ATT	YDS	AVG	TD	INT
15/24	147

62.5% completion rate. 3 TDs no ints in a 44 - 7 win over an inferior opponent.

AK looked a little rough at the start but made some nice plays as the game went on. A nice ice breaker, but we'll see what happens when they play a team a chance at making some noise.

 

[mngg11]

Major with a sneaky 52 yards in the half. I'm okay with ball control if we can maintain the running lanes and hit these short passes. Grab a 7 point lead going into the half, continue to keep their rb in check, and we're alright. Defense looks pretty good so far minus 2-3 plays.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Hey a caught punt and maybe even 3 yards of a return. Baby steps.

I believe that may have been the longest punt return of the Fleck era.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Let’s go we just needed a quarter to warm up just like we all were thinking.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Let's hope the flag is on UNC.

 

[Homerpalooza]

That took a long time to call.

MAXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

The Brosmer Breakout Drive!

 

[Stuff]

Seems we've shaken off some of the early rust. Hoping anyway.

 

[nitramnaed]

The dinks have left the auditorium!

 

[BTChamp]

Brosmer with the best run up the middle in FBS right there

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

The dinks have left the auditorium!

I doubt it... They're lurking somewhere in the shadows

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Plenty early, but looks like they might have a pair and a spare.

 

[caliGopher]

I can tell you right now with 100% certainty that Greg Harbaugh Jr will not be back next year. How sad is that, that you can say that in the first half of game one? NDSU can find better coaches year in and year out. How can’t P.J. Fleck find a competent OC? I mean seriously, how can’t a guy with his stature find a good OC?

The problem may be your perception of his stature.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

I'm feeling a glimmer of hope. I'm just not at the "trust" level yet with this outfit.

 

[IceBoxGopher]

Starting to find a groove here, let's go.

 

[Tully55]

2 goal post doinks by Kesich

 

[Ski-UT-Mah]

Two doinks for Dragan!

 

[mnsportsgeek]

1 bad quarter. 1 good quarter. Let’s keep the good quarters coming.

 

[007gopherfan]

Too bad we used all our timeouts early.

 

[BTChamp]

D line looking good

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Been waiting for Smith to break out. Is this the year

 

[Stuff]

These defensive ends are impressive.

It's turned out to be a pretty nice night for football. We lucked out. Hell....even the seats were pre dried.
