Summarize the Gophers win over Purdue in 1 sentence

[Gophergrandpa]

Thank God for face masks.

 

[Vandy]

Fortuitous.

 

[Holy Man]

You can call PI on also every play in the Big Ten. (Except OS games because nobody is close to their WR'S). It started with Iowa grabbing on every play and now all teams do it. I don't know how you stop it but it is getting out of hand. You need to start throwing 6 flags in the first half of every Big Ten game. This needs to be cleaned up.

They call it point of emphasis in basketball.

It’s amazing that when we lose Fleck is out coached, but a win is lucky.

 

[highwayman]

Pump the brakes on the hyperbole, fella. We had no business winning this game and Purdue made us their bitch. We didn't win the game, they handed it to us. And I'm a firm Fleck supporter. Easily the worst game I've seen by us in person, and I was at Bowling Green

You know what ‘hyperbole’ means, right? What a fool.

I put a bag over her head but could not stop watching.

Fool? Ok internet tough guy. Tell me what's hyperbolic about that statement when you look at the stat sheet. We sucked in every aspect of the game. We had no business winning. They mailed it in by handing us turnovers.

 

[DEGopherfan]

We found a way to win.

 

[kg21]

Should have lost by 14 or more.

 

[forever a gopher]

Glad we’re not Purdue.

 

[nsmike]

After our history of heartbreaking losses to Purdue, I'll take an ugly win.
(I still remember the 1996 to 2002 Purdue win streak!)

 

[everybody knows my name]

Sloppy and inept, saved by ridiculous luck.

 

[Ope3]

We got out coached and out played but we won so I’m happy.

Doesn't "coaching" come into play by winning the TO stat 4-1 and winning points on off TOs as well as commiting far fewer penalties/personal fouls for much less yards?

Maybe...

 

[GoodasGold]

I vote for shit canning these throwback uniforms, turnovers saved their bacon.

At this point, I’d have to call them lucky unis

 

[Ope3]

Maybe...

The INT on the Purdue half back option at the 1 yd line when they were marching at will, definitely was a poor Boilermaker coaching decision.

They never watched us do the same thing as we were driving against Cal.

 

[GopherRock]

The Gophers played like trash last night and got away with it.

 

[Ope3]

They never watched us do the same thing as we were driving against Cal.

Exactly.

 

[caliGopher]

Glad we’re not Purdue.

If we were, we'd win more games. They came out without the same level of talent, and without hope. But they played their asses off, and ultimately created their own loss. If we played wtih similar effort and commitment to winning football games, we'd have a lot more wins under Fleck.

 

[caliGopher]

Sometimes, win you play not to lose, it works.

 

[Bring back the Axe]

Iowa has never felt bad about winning ugly games like this with turnovers, so I won't either.

 

[IrishGoph55]

we currently have a winning record in the B1G, I'll take the W

"mailed it in" suggests they were not trying. Did not seem that way to me

 

[gophmeister]

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.
