***OFFICIAL RHODE ISLAND AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[gopherfan007]

Also with all you glass half empty guys, plenty to be encouraged by. Everyone wants to pass more to set up the run so here we are, this is a different Gopher offense

I will admit starting to like the play calling with the passing

 

[State of Football]

Good adjustments. RI had a good plan. We’ve adjusted and look more competent against an inferior opponent

 

[mngg11]

The 2024 Gophers discovered they were a passing team last week, mostly on the last series.

I hope they maintain this understanding as the season moves on instead of stubbornly going back to their comfort/familiarity zone. Let Brosmer rip it.

 

[Lou Brown]

Excited to enjoy a nice game of football on the cock this afternoon.

Can we get a update on this please and thank you

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Well, Driver makes up for the last one.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Rhode Island clearly watched film. They were trying to confuse our offensive line and on offense they were playing some slightly tricky plays.

They knew but we adapted.

Some of these guys are young, will improve. We are just pointing out the areas.

 

[Gopher Ally]

We are a passing team now, no wonder the 4 star QB from California has committed to the Gophers Air Raid juggernaut

 

[U2Gopher]

Sidenote: Texas rolling. 24-3 Just shy of halftime.

Michigan is a 6 win team. Seven at best if they are lucky.

When Fleck has a passing game he trusts they use it......You can see they trust Brosmer, I think he is going to get plenty of opportunities to throw the ball.....

Now the question becomes can the WR catch it.

Minnesota improved the QB play.

AK might be okay at some programs but he's not the right QB for Minnesota where you must be able to consistently complete short and medium passes to move the ball with only a few receivers in the pattern who can't easily win individual matchups in Big Ten games. Minnesota needs a Morgan/Brosmer type accuracy-first QB to win Big Ten games consistently.

AK, fwiw, is 10/19 for 118 yards and 1 INT vs Akron as I type this. That's not a great sign for Rutgers in the harder games.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

This is a game - FBS vs FCS -where the Gophers - a P4 team - Should dominate. So things are looking more positive. But this is what it should look like.

 

[U2Gopher]

This annoys the fuck out of me we did not do this last week

Yep, but blame PJ, not the OC.

 

[GopherMarroon]

Where is DL Jaxon Howard, the highest grade Gophers transfer player?

 

[MNVCGUY]

Michigan is a 6 win team. Seven at best if they are lucky.

Not sure if I agree with that but they may definitely take a big step back from last year. That said.....Texas looks pretty damn good.

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

That throwaway by Rhode Island went over to the Gover bench and straight into a tiny trashcan….

 

[U2Gopher]

Not sure if I agree with that but they may definitely take a big step back from last year. That said.....Texas looks pretty damn good.

We’ll see. Their schedule is difficult. Really difficult. They lost a lot and I’m not convinced Moore is the guy.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Not sure how I feel about using Jackson at PR. Never a big fan of seeing #1 WR back there.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Brosmer looking so much more confident.

Accurate, nice delivery, poise. Night and day from last year.

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

Could see Koi do PR later in game?

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Now the question becomes can the WR catch it.

Well, they've caught 20 of the 25 passes he's thrown so they're not completely incompetent.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Not a great drop but also a hospital ball.

 

[GopherMarroon]

Michigan getting smoked, literally.

 

[Arminius]

Whatever this stadium seats, 50-60% full

 

[fmlizard]

FDR doesn't have as many dimes as Brosmer does today. Catch the ball folks.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Poor quality. Not enjoying the experience. Good results though.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Well, they've caught 20 of the 25 passes he's thrown so they're not completely incompetent.

True...but most of the incompletions have been drops. Brosmer would be almost perfect on the day if the WR caught the ball.

 

[howeda7]

I think that's enough Darius Taylor for today....

 

[U2Gopher]

Accurate, nice delivery, poise. Night and day from last year.

And the ball on almost every throw is in the correct spot. Haven’t seen a throw yet that I’d say was forced or ill advised.
