Minnesota isn't Penn St., but PJ is in the territory of James Franklin.... Can't get this team to compete against the big 2.
Offense has no creativity. Have to either scheme to win that or have an identity. We did neither.

The problem is they went completely away from what they initially did on the 1st drive.

That's not totally true. Ohio State adjusted after the first drive and took a lot of what we did away.

I know adjustments n game are something we don't see from our coaches very often, but competent staffs do it all the time.

It’s pretty clear in the fleck regime, 7-5 or 6-6 seasons will be the standard, but the way he calls a game, we will never shock the world and beat the big boys.

I get there’s a serious talent gap vs Ohio State, but it just seems the last few years, we killed in every contest against top 10 teams.

Lol we played one top 10 team last year... we definitely got killed (not). Highlights are still up on YouTube, type "Minnesota vs Penn State"

Go back to watching Gary Anderson miss his game winner on repeat
 


I gave a D. I don't mind losing to Ohio State and I think a lot of things can be corrected with development of young players. D will get better. Passing game is likely going to get more As. However, and the players are not at fault here, but the running game gets an F.

A solid D.

The score is 3-14 midway through the 2nd quarter. MN is moving the ball and is near midfield but it's 4th and 1. Coaches decided that the fate of the game would come down to this one play and decide to go for it against the best D in the nation. The predictable RUTM fails. OSU scores a TD on the next play on a busted coverage to make it 3-21.

The game was essentially done that moment, halfway through the 2nd quarter. Gophs still probably don't win, but we'll never know if it might have been a better contest if the coaches choose to punt.

Talent wise gophers were outmanned. The gameplan was ok. MN got beat by better players plain and simple.

Talent: Perich is our best returner since Upchurch....so if you have a talented player why are we instructing him to fair catch? It appeared to me quick passes were open in the middle of the field...slants for instance...everything seemed poorly designed to combat what they were doing defensively.

You really put the loss on the coaching?

2 touchdowns short of covering the spread is bad.

Is that the Gophers playing worse than expected or is it the point spread being way wrong? After seeing the talent disparity head to head the final score is not surprising.
