Week 4 Other Games Thread

[fmlizard]

The early games today look like a snooze-fest. That's what happens when Fox's feature is Ohio State and Marshall.

Bielema knows how to close out a tough, toss-up game. PJ is still trying to learn.

Is this a fact, or just shooting from the hip? Does Bielema actually have a more impressive record in close games?

 

[GopherGrit]

Think 'Cuse underestimated Stanford

That's gotta be a rough roadtrip. Wonder if they spent the night and came home today?

They turn right around and go to Clemson next weekend. But then only have to go to Notre Dame (not an ACC game) in Oct and NC State in Nov, with Berkeley as the last "road trip".

So really only three cross-country Eastern trips, not terrible.

Hopefully the game is fun. Since I'm here lol. First time attending a CFB game outside the Gophers. Very nice stadium.

Bring Back Bo

 

[Full Speed Ahead]

That may have been the worst overtime performance I have ever seen

And the best as well. On offense, IL scored their TD running a total of two plays, both of which were hardly defended. And on defense, the pressure they were able to get on Raiola was really impressive. I still miss the Pelini days, but at least we've got the Broken Chair to remember him.

Washington State up 54-46 in 2nd OT.

Damn. Went to bed rather than stay up for the rest of the game.

they surprised against Notre Dame a couple years ago

Dude can coach in the BIG 10, might be fat but gets results!

He hired rob Smith in Arkansas. Hard to overcome that

 

[salzie]

I'm waiting for the first Gopher Hole poster to say that Illinois is "mediocre", "not good" or "hideous".

Sadly they're good.

Marshall has tOHSU on the ropes

James Madison 25
North Carolina 14

End of the 1st

 

[gophers&guns]

James Madison taking it to UNC with some sneaky plays and luck. interesting game to watch!

Their equipment truck is headed straight for Clemson, which would make sense

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

As it’s been said, North Carolina is not a good football team. That was another really bad loss, like we’ve seen multiple times the last couple seasons. All because of our horrific offense. All we can do is hope it changes going forward.

 

[Whytetale]

NC OUCH!

 

[WindyCityGopher]

James Madison laying the wood to UNC.39 midway through the second QUARTER! How the hell did we not beat the Heels?

 

[Nax5]

Marshall has tOHSU on the ropes

Its funny how fast OSU cracks it open. I'm used to Gophers taking 9 minute drives once they're up by 3 lol

 

[Whytetale]

The pattern continues, lose one winnable game a year! But at least we consistently don't win games we shouldn't.

 

[RogueGopher]

JMU oh my goodness

 

[Taji34]

Hey, maybe NC will turn out to be that 1 game a year that we absolutely should have won but found a way to lose?

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Does anyone have any eligibility left?

I bet Marshall’s team meetings are fun. Love funny coaches.

Bon Apetit Holers.

Marshall's HC is offering all you can eat biscuits to Ohio State players to transfer 𤣠#shorts

Any given Saturday.

52-21 now at halftime; they adjusted the over to 87

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

James Madison 25

They're leading them by over 30 at the half. That's really depressing. We better win today.

 

[Gilthorp57]

JMU with 53...in the 1st half, damn

 

[GopherMarroon]

I'm curious to see what happens Wisconsin's next game September 28 against USC. Decimated? Or does a QB step up?

The week after that, the Gophers play USC.

Wisconsin does not play this week. Gophers are off October 19.

UNCs defense is terrible. How the Gophers only managed 17 points.....

 

[GopherGrit]

That's wild to me. I would wonder if even NFL teams have to do that.

Doesn't seem worth it to me. I get wanting to stay in a "power" conference, and be "relevant", but I'm guessing the amount of money they're going to get from being in the ACC vs whatever they could've scrounged together by sticking it out with WA/OR State and some MWC teams, is not going to enable them to be nationally competitive. I could be dead wrong about that, though ..

 

[GopherMarroon]

UNC's Wet Paper Bag Defense

Gophers set-up good plays against UNC but then mistakes.

Brosmer has been mostly effective at avoiding turnovers. The interception last week was not his fault.

We will see if Iowa brings major pressure.

 

[Catechol]

Wonder what Tom Osborne’s record was in 1 score games?
