This was a really fun half to watch (except for the end of half F Up). Our OL was very dominant the entire half.
Bucky needs to find a better fitting helmet and he's not fully versed in the handing of the ball to the official. On one run he left the ball lay on the ground. JMS picked it up, handed it to the official then turned to Bucky and said something to him about it.
The Gophers ran some plays I have not seen from them this very at all or very much. One play is the counter trey play, except we pull the guard and Ko instead of a Guard and Tackle. The other was an inside Trap play where our guard and center would let the DT go and the TE (usually Ko) would come in from out wide to kick him out of the hole. Had some good success with both plays. Guessing they used these plays because of stuff they saw on film of the Colorado d-line.
Andries: 100% on 21 plays - Really did a nice job of controlling his man no matter what position on the line he played at. He was on the field more often this half that last week.
Olson: 96% on 23 plays. Was really good inside moving the pile and or shielding his man from the play
JMS: 91% on 23 plays. Ditto for him. Neither of them had a negative blocking play.
Dunlop: 86% on 14 plays His game improved again this week. Had less reps this half, which considering the altitude was a good idea. He has continually gotten better with each game.
Faalele: 81% on 21 plays - Had one negative play and a few where there just wasn't anyone to block as the play went away from him.
Schlueter: 83% on 23 plays He is a devastating down blocker. Where he gets trouble is when trying to block in space or having to reach for a guy to his inside or outside. But on down blocks he is quite good
Ruschmeyer: 200% on 1 play He mauled then buried his man on the goal line play, this the awesome percent.
Kieft: 107% on 14 plays. He is fun to watch block. Both TD's in the half he put his man on the ground. The first one he pulled and led through the hole and just destroyed the LB. The other both him and Ruschmeyer collapsed the right side, drove there man into the end zone and put them on their back.
BSF: 67 % on 6 plays He's still a little inconsistent in the run game, but has been more physical at point of attack compared to the OSU game.
We didn't throw it much the first half but the OL did a better job of picking up twists and blitzes than they did last week vs. M-OH
Andries: 78% on 9 plays
Olson: 92% on 12 plays
JMS: 58% on 12 plays His grade is low because there were plays where he had no one to block because everyone else was doing their job.
Dunlop: 50% on 6 plays He had some trouble on a power move inside of him when JMS was sliding the opposite way. His quickness isn't at the level he was at two years ago
Faalele: 80% on 10 plays - Had a good half of pass protection. On the play that Wright caught the one over the middle for a big gain, Daniel was put in a tough spot as he had a DE and LB lined up head up or outside of him. Both came and he had no help, but with a quick stiff arm to the one defender and good footwork to stay in front of the other, neither were able to get to Tanner before he release it. Quite an impressive job on that one play.
Schlueter: 50% on 12 plays Had some trouble when the DE lined up wide and got up the field.
Kieft: 100% on 2 plays
BSF: 100 % on 3 plays
A good half of football by our OL. We should have been up 20 or 24 but a couple plays went bad along with the missed FG on the one drive, then not understanding the clock situation at the half cost us too.
