***OFFICIAL RUTGERS AT MINNESOTA ATHAN’S DAD RETURN IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Some Day...Maybe]

We’ll see if this team has the mental to do this. Game is there for the taking. Get your shit together in the 2nd half. It’s not as bleak as being made out right now but it’s going to take this team coming together.

This team will never be good with this offense. This offense will hold this team back every game, every season. It has been this way since Ciarrocca left. Until Fleck finds a really good OC, he’ll be a middling .500 Big Ten coach at best.

It's an uphill climb when we're trying to overcome our own coaching staff too

 

[howeda7]

Oy Koi.

 

[fmlizard]

Can we just put a trash can back there to catch the ball?

 

[GoGophersUMN]

Koi shouldn't be allowed to touch the football other than if he gets an interception or fumble recovery for at least the rest of the season.

 

[upnorthkid]

That’s a penalty if the one in the first half is

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

PI on Gophers....none on Rutgers.....refs not helping and missing BIG calls.

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

How easy will this half be if you’re the DC for Rutgers? You know they can’t run the ball so your whole defense is defend the pass.

 

[GringaGopher]

Converting on 3rd n 1 ! Let’s go

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Koi shouldn't be allowed to touch the football other than if he gets an interception or fumble recovery for at least the rest of the season.

I almost wish he didn't get that big return prior to the half.

 

[upnorthkid]

Drake takeover. Let’s fucking go

 

[upnorthkid]

Maybe drake will just turn off the headset communication. We seem better this way

 

[fmlizard]

Gophers have been getting bad spots all game long

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

But if that’s called we get 5 yards and an automatic first down to put us in FG range, so that subsequent short yardage situation likely doesn’t happen.

It would've been 15 yards....

 

[matt]

Smells like Simon.

 

[Nax5]

Maybe we finally realized the run game isn't really working for us

 

[UpAndUnder43]

I like our QB a lot

 

[upnorthkid]

That play into the short side is something

 

[upnorthkid]

Drake Lindsey is such a good player at this point in his career. LET HIM COOK

 

[MGGopher]

They’ve completely abandoned the run game, but Rutgers is still respecting the tendencies and run blitzing. They’ll figure it out eventually, but you have to score a TD here and also figure out a way to manufacture some run yards later.

 

[GopherVotary]

Yes, I think whoever scores more points will win the game

Possibly, but I think a bigger key is which team gives up the least points.

Hmm.

 

[howeda7]

Good play calling by Simon this drive!

 

[mngg11]

Harbaugh called a good drive, though you won't get any of the detractors to admit it.

 

[upnorthkid]

Drake audibling us all the way down the field.

Let’s ball baby

 

[Stuff]

Jalen Smith appears to have learned how to catch the football.

 

[GoldenUMNGopher]

Simon!

 

[GopherGold01]

God Lindsey looks great, getting comfortable out there

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

High level quarterback play right there.

 

[Stuff]

Harbaugh called a good drive, though you won't get any of the detractors to admit it.

It's obvious Simon was calling the plays.
