What grade would you give Tanner Morgan in the Big Ten opener?

[GopherHole Staff]

23/26 for 268, 3 TDs, 0 INTs, 3 rushes for 27 big yards.

Sure looking an awful lot like 2019 Morgan is back.....for those that have forgotten....that was a lot of fun.

 

[Taji34]

Who voted A-?!?!?

 

[gopherbadgerman]

A

 

[goldengophers]

At least the primary fan arguement of the last two years is settled.

 

[PMWinSTP]

Don't know what it looked like on TV, but he had all day to throw in person at the game. O-line was very good today.

 

[Oregon Gopher]

How the hell do you vote A-???! Asinine.

 

[TruthSeeker]

A+ would have been a shutout. So an A.

 

[Vandy]

I don't believe in extra credit at the college level.... unless he is helping with equipment and laundry, so.... Straight up A.

 

[RememberMurray]

I love seeing the enthusiasm — almost sheer joy — from the players on this team. I am really enjoying that aspect of this team.

Well done, Coach.

The thread is about the grade you would give to Tanner Morgan. Why would you downgrade the quarterback based on backup defenders giving up a score with 17 seconds left?

Ha! A+.

 

[46Gophers]

He had an incredible game!!!!! Very poised and confident. I bet that the other Qbs are learning a lot watching the way Tanner has been carrying himself so far this year.

Huh? WTF does Morgan have to do with a shutout? At least know what you are voting on.

 

[GridironGus]

How great is it to have a veteran quarterback who can lead the team in to road stadiums in the Big Ten and not be flustered?

I didn't know Tanner also played defense.

It isn't just Morgan.....JMS.....MSM.....Mo.....we have a lot of experience all over the team. Guys that have been there before and won't struggle with those big moments.

Easiest a+ I've seen in a long time. With the way we run the ball, Morgan playing like he did today makes us unstoppable. In complete control, able to identify the defense/coverage, make the correct read and deliver an accurate pass. Huge shoutout to the OL for giving him time and space. Also, great game by our OC. I'd say he hit about 80% today with the right call.

Today was a master clinic from our QB. Hope it continues.

A+

I remember last year at this point everyone was shitting on Tanner.

There are about 2 or 3 posters on here that consistently still are...

The question all week was who would step up in CRAB's absence. The answere is: Tanner Morgan. He made the receiver group EveryCRAB with 23 darts to the target.

Many have lamented that receivers were not getting enough separation. Tanner proved that separation can be a step, a half a step, or a few inches when the ball is delivered to the perfect spot.

I predicted before the season Tanner would be drafted in the third round next year. He is holding up his end.

He sure is.

My goodness though, how bad was Sanford? Absolute night and day difference in every aspect of the offense.

 

[Stan]

A+, nearly perfectly played game.

 

[jonnyganas]

It reminded me of the first B1G road game of 2019 against Purdue when we all realized Morgan was capable of a nearly perfect game.

He’s from Minnesota. Vote, then ask your friends about it.
