***OFFICIAL OHIO STATE AT MINNESOTA SEASON OPENING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[jblass]

Kick it down and play some defense.

 

[Tully55]

Big-boy pants time for the defense!

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

1 more turnover and we got this. Fly Winfield Jr. back out here right now!

 

[#2Gopher]

Forget that one...now just step it up!!!!!!!!!!!11

 

[Ewert86PC]

Are we not finishing off tackles because of fear of targeting penalties?

 

[KGF]

Does a partial tear change anything in recovery time?

More than likely will still need surgery. If he wants to use his Covid year, he can come back next year.

 

[ProfessorBum]

missed holding call

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Fuaaarrrrkkkkk

 

[hello-world]

... run through the f***ing tackle... I mean jesus christ, this is basics.

 

[howeda7]

My god.

 

[howeda7]

Glen Mason thinks this is awful defense.

 

[46Gophers]

Are you f...ing kidding me! This defense absolutely sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ewert86PC]

Nope. The Defense is lost.

Game Over.
[Pac-Man defeat sound]

 

[MRJ]

One thing I will say; the defense has completely mailed it in...which is frustrating.

 

[FormerFatOL]

Goph D fucking sucks.

 

[MGGopher]

The Howden injury is gonna hurt bad it is serious. There's no depth or talent behind our starting safeties

 

[RolGnav]

... this defense is horrendous. Everyone is running around on defense like a headless chicken. No one covers the best receiver in college football?

 

[gopherfan007]

Why is Calvin Swenson even playing? Terrible positioning and gets beat on every play

 

[Gopher028]

Swenson is as bad at safety as Howden. Both need to go to special teams and never start again....

 

[GophersInIowa]

Their TDs haven’t even been hard. Just brutal.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Calvin Swenson is a liability out there. That will need to be addressed.

 

[theTurning]

DC gotta go. We can still take the West.

 

[kg21]

It all just seems so hopeless.

 

[46Gophers]

Too bad the defense mentally stayed in the locker room at halftime.

 

[Boomtime]

Ohio State has great team speed, but these big plays are ridiculous.

Four scoring plays of 50+ yards???

 

[U2Gopher]

If the safety play is going to be this bad I’d rather see Ortiz play.

 

[scools12]

How can you have this many defensive breakdowns? It’s simply horrendous.

 

[RolGnav]

Alright Gophers... let's just cover the spread. Battle to the end!

 

[46Gophers]

Ohio State has great team speed, but these big plays are ridiculous.

Four scoring plays of 50+ yards???

Absolutely terrible.

 

[DocfromDarwin]

More than likely will still need surgery. If he wants to use his Covid year, he can come back next year.

Still thinking it could be fibula ?? Either way he’ll miss the rest of season
