***OFFICIAL PENN ST AT MINNESOTA BATTLE FOR THE COVETED GOVERNORS VICTORY BELL IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Tully55]

Still complaining about grabbing the QB facemask? Akin to Iowa fans still complaining about punt return...It's long over.

 

[howeda7]

Go for it.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

That 2nd down call was so stupid.

 

[Panthadad2]

That 2nd down call was so stupid.

1st down was just as bad.

 

[upnorthkid]

why the trick play there...

 

[gopherbadgerman]

FG right call there

 

[WindyCityGopher]

3 plays from the 6, needing a TD to take the lead, and we go into the end zone once. Make it make sense.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

1st down was just as bad.

No issues with the run.

 

[Panthadad2]

FG right call there

Yep. Even with a PSU TD, it's still a 1-score game unless PSU can run out the clock.

 

[GophersInIowa]

That 2nd down call was so stupid.

It would have been a penalty if he caught it anyways. It was a forward pass and he was covered up.

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Spencer was sooooooooo close to keeping his feet and scoring....please God don't make that be the difference.

 

[Gopher Ally]

we are getting too cute with play calling, that pass to Ersery was rediculous

 

[Tully55]

FG right call there

Correct...With a defensive stop, a FG can win it and DK has been $$$ lately.

 

[Panthadad2]

No issues with the run.

I do. It was an obvious running formation and PSU was totally ready for it. The Gophs had been passing on PSU the whole drive.

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

It would have been a penalty if he caught it anyways. It was a forward pass and he was covered up.

He wasn't covered up....if he would've been they would've thrown the flag anyway.

 

[Torres9]

Spencer has to get in there. Missed opportunity with 3 odd calls

 

[oldman]

poor playcalling from O

 

[RolGnav]

I honestly am baffled at how Fleck and the coaches are calling this game... Against a top 5 run defense, they're determined to run 70% of the time. Ok, play it safe I guess... yet they're calling flea flickers, and all sorts of trickery... and now Pen State is just running one play and is going up and down the field with it, and what seems like what we should be winning... we're actually losing.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Come on D! One more

 

[oldman]

we're screwed

I mean….we’re doing fine

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Ugh.

 

[howeda7]

Ugh. Could see that coming a mile away.

 

[theTurning]

Pathetic.

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Holding on every FUCKING play.......SMH

 

[Stuff]

No one even guessed a fake punt?

 

[Panthadad2]

PSU gonna run out the clock with another first down. Damn.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

That was the most obvious call in the history of the sport. Cannot believe they didn’t see that coming.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Joyner was held badly on that 3rd down play

 

[Torres9]

Need a turn over now
