STrib: Expect more experimentation on offense when the Gophers face Kent State

[BleedGopher]

per Joe:

Welcome to the lab, Kent State. Grab some coffee. Kickoff comes early Saturday, and Professors Kill and Limegrover are eager to start tinkering.

TCF Bank Stadium won’t be buzzing like it was for the Thursday night opener against TCU, and the student section likely will be thinned out. But it’s really no less important for the Gophers. Their defense has been superb through two games, but the offense has serious work to do.

And yes, everyone saw the score from your last road trip — Illini 52, Golden Flashes 3. The Gophers could use a lopsided victory like that. It’s been six games, dating to last season, since they’ve scored 30 or more.

Enter offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover, coach Jerry Kill and others at the controls of the Gophers offense, ready to experiment and hone what they do best. You’ll be trying to sabotage all that, of course. But for the Gophers, these are the basic instructions:

I think this deserves a bump. If only just for a sad, weepy laugh.

Bump.

LOL. If using a 7th grade offense is experimenting, then they sure did it.

Our offense is more like a mind f*ck.

Get to double-digits on the scoreboard and quit scoring, a bold strategy.
