Post Game Thread: Gophers With AMAZING Comeback Win!!!

[kg21]

Some people aren’t happy unless they find something to be unhappy about.

Bitching about things is how to demonstrate football knowledge, so I’m impressed by GPG.

bitching or being realistic?

I guess I'm bitching.

 

[RememberMurray]

Reminded me of some of the incredibly exciting 2019 wins. Just amazing play making by our best guys. Nubin is another Winfield.

Exactly. There seems to be a pattern...

 

[GophersInIowa]

I don’t understand how you can cover Jackson 1 on 1 on 4th down like that.

 

[RememberMurray]

I really don't think that Nebby team is bad. they'll do all right this year

Yeah, I tend to agree.

 

[RememberMurray]

Because what Cal Stoll said is honestly relevant in 2023?

You are obviously stunned by the idea that someone can actually learn from the past.

 

[Holy Man]

Agreed. They'll be competitive in most games with good running game and stout defense. They'll need to find a passing game. I hope Nebby runs over Colorado next week.

The quarterback will run them into some wins they should have no business winning.

No.he coached 50 years ago and had a losing b10 record.

 

[Panthadad2]

Nebraska win probability was 94% with five minutes left. Woo woot!

You can learn from wins and from losses.

Without a doubt. But I seriously doubt anyone is picking things up from a mediocre coach from the 70’s. Just my opinion

 

[Ignatius L Hoops]

One of the most unpredicably exciting finishes in my years of attending Gopher games

I'm liking Fox Sports. Full game replay for free. I liked the game color crew too...a change up to ESPN if nothing else.

I was at the U when Cal Stoll was coach. I can tell you that the environment was not exactly conducive to a winning football team on campus.

Stoll had some wisdom when it came to coaching.

Just got home from the game. Heart rate finally is down to normal. Kudos to the students who jammed the 1st and 2nd deck student area. Loud, I mean loud. And....they stayed until the end. Great W. M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A

Fair enough. I was there with Wacker. He did not.

That is a really, really good sign for this program. Student enthusiasm! We need that.

 

[dannygopher9100]

Wow, that is all I have to say. Fantastic ending to what was a beautiful night for football. Ski U Mah and Row the Boat!

 

[RememberMurray]

Sometimes a football coach takes over a program that is not exactly 'set up for success'. If he tries and then fails to win championships, it doesn't always mean he's a 'bad' coach. It may mean he's the kind of person who enjoys a true challenge, and couldn't quite get to the summit of the very steep mountain.

I guess I'm bitching.

It was one game, teams typically make a big jump from week 1 to week 2. Yeah, it was rough at times but it is way too soon to panic or start drawing conclusions about how the year will go.

First games are weird and starting with a conference opponent is tough. Anyone looking for reasons to complain needs to take a deep breath and relax.

 

[RodentRampage]

I celebrated with not one but two beers. I know, wild man. And a block of Cotswald cheese.

PJs teams have GRIT

 

[Vandy]

NOTHING better than a walk off win!

 

[SHGopher]

Offense:

#9 Jackson with that great one-foot catch after beating the defender.



Defense:

DB #5 Walley made that crucial strip fumble when it looked like Nebraska would win.




Honorable mention: Even though Minnesota couldn't run the ball, shocking, I thought RB #2 Tyler looked good for what little he was given.

THIS is the key observation from this game, without question.

That punch was awesome.

 

[oak_street1981]

Well on to UNC for me!!! See a few of you in Chapel HIll- Franklin ST

 

[jonnyganas]

Jackson had no right to get his foot down and make that catch. Back foot toe drag with his front foot in the air 3 feet out. Absurd. One of the best catches I’ve seen

The route he ran to get there was jaw dropping. He is a human highlight reel.

 

[Wally]

Don't forget Walley. He tackled great, and came up with a clutch forced fumble. Looks like he wants to go to the NFL.

Looks like he IS going to the NFL

 

[GringaGopher]

That winning FG by Kesich helped my MN kicker PTSD a lot tonight! Go Gophers !!

 

[jonnyganas]

When was the last game we won by last second FG? I remember Rhys Lloyd winning the Sun Bowl in 2003 against Oregon. Was there a more recent one?
