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

D over committing when it matters most.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Geez.... sleepwalking going on.

 

[Panthadad2]

It's to the point of letting PSU score if they get a first down.

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Proud of this Defense....

 

[howeda7]

Don't jump.

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

Another fine play from the Gopher defense.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

That was also an incredibly dumb timeout to take.

 

[Panthadad2]

Let PSU score.

 

[GopherGold01]

Why use that timeout

 

[Gopher Ally]

Need a turnover now

 

[howeda7]

Try to let them score on the first play.

 

[MZBKA1]

Well, that's all folks

 

[WindyCityGopher]

CLASSIC Fleck-era loss. They’re good against an excellent team, but not good enough. It’s happened too many times.

 

[Lou Brown]

Well shit

 

[GophersInIowa]

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

Yes he was. The TE was lined up right next to Ersery on the LOS.

 

[Gilthorp57]

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

Not the time for that smh

 

[SuperMeat]

Should just let them score a TD

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Franklin playing to win the game in these spots. I hope PJ pays attention to this. There are certain moments where you need to play for the win. Not sure PJ does that all the time.

 

[BarnBurner]

That gift 6 points from the refs the difference.

 

[Gilthorp57]

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.

Franklin stopped being cute and called football plays, talent wins.

he punted mulitple times on 4th and short and let us stay in the game. that fake punt you can literally see the snapper angled to fake it. don't know how the hell the LBs are not seeing that

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

Fuck the refs, but this loss is solely on the players. Lapse in concentration, missed tackles and all around boneheadedness. A few more weeks and then we don't have to see this dumpster fire anymore.

 

[Stuff]

They will, but not intentionally.

Peej needs to stop wasting T.O. this is 2 games in a row where it hurt us.

 

[MZBKA1]

It's because we're not as good as them.

 

[Panthadad2]

All the gophs can hope for is a stop and a missed FG then a couple real lucky passes on offense.

 

[upnorthkid]

question is does PSU kick the FG or not at this point with getting one blocked already

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Different situation if we had not burned a timeout at 2:12.

 

[howeda7]

All the gophs can hope for is a stop and a missed FG then a couple real lucky passes on offense.

A Perich KO return is the only real chance.

What do you mean? Fleck will still be the coach.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

We’re gonna have 20 seconds
