As is the norm for a good Gophers win, I spent four quarters pounding the Zantac. Hardly enjoyed a moment of it.
The Good:
-We started....we finished. Won both ends of the game with authority.
-We outhit our opponents from whistle to whistle. Yeah baby!
-Penalties and turnovers were excellent today.
-Give credit for some oddly excellent play-calling and clock management down the stretch.
-A couple physical runs by Whaley and co. really set up a good tempo for us.
-Though they were worked hard today, our d-line kept showing up with their lunch pails. Maybe most importantly, they kept Kafka in the box....
-No big runs by Kafka! Huge.
-The coaching staff is clearly reading my posts, because the second play of the game was a speed option disguised as a reverse. More please!
-Return game continues to show big time dividends.
-It's possible Gray is a manimal. More please.
-N. T-A is All Big Ten in my book. So damn nifty. I love it.
The Bad:
-Our quarterback play was not a net-plus for us today. They should've had at least two picks. The guy taking the snaps also continues to take too many sacks.
-For once I thought we didn't try get the ball to #7 enough.
The Ugly
-We got no help from our LBs in the passing game today. Truly barf-worthy. They need to make themselves a presence over the middle by at least making throws more difficult. Nowhere to be seen. Bad feel for space and spacing today.
-Need to finish big plays when we have the chance. Dropped picks are reason for censure, not congratulations. The coaching staff and your teammates got you in a place to make a play...make it.
-Decker caught it. The call was horse&#@$. And it cost us points. Truly fugly.
-And the ugliest thing about this game? HAVING TO WATCH NORTHWESTERN 'FOOTBALL.' My Lord, their offensive style of play is an abomination--no, a sacrilege...a blasphemy.
