Okay but much like us.. If the receivers aren’t there I’m not sure that’s on Morgan. Morgan turns into a sick blend of mike Vick and Tom Brady against us so…
Might be the first time I have ever heard Tanner Morgan compared to Mike Vick in any way
Actually back in 2019 the guy he most often resembled was Drew Brees.
As for this year, the biggest issue is we have no idea what our team is going to look like on Saturday because every game has been very different so far this year.
Ohio State - Played pretty well across the board, defense was victimized by big plays but outside of that we left that game feeling pretty good about the team. Downside was our star running back was lost for the year.
Miami OH - Controlled the first half and went in up 21-3. Then played one of the worst quarters of football I have seen on all sides of the ball to let them back in the game. On the plus side, the backup running back seems like he is going to be solid.
Colorado - Went to their place and kicked the crap out of a power 5 team. D held their offense under 100 yards for the game and we scored 30+ points. Kicker missed a couple makeable kicks but outside of that it was a dominant effort and one that had people really excited about the rest of the season.
Bowling Green - Defense continued to play well but the offense, special teams, and coaches crapped the bed bigtime. How our offense only managed 10 points against a team like that is beyond me.
So as we head to game 5 we legitimately have no clue what the real version of the 2021 Gophers is going to be. Fleck teams have dinked around with non-conf teams before and turned it on in the Big Ten season. Whether or not this team is capable of that remains to be seen.
I think we have a pretty good team from top to bottom but it is tough to say that after the horrible performance we just witnessed yesterday. So yeah, anything to could happen this Saturday.
