What grade would you give the Gophers coaching in the win over Virginia Tech?

 

[USAF]

An "A-yo!"

 

[#2Gopher]

Many new players on both teams, hard to predict what's going to happen. Gave him an A to go with his Mayo bath.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

We won = A

 

[GoGophersUMN]

A- with a few points lost due to special teams issues and getting too fancy with trick plays too early.

 

[Frink]

Creamy

 

[Gilthorp57]

A....Boyyyyahhh!!!

A - Did what he had to do to win. Played a lot of players. Had fun.

I hate on Fleck at times for his in game coaching and truly think we lose some games because of his conservative approaches to some games, but I am so glad he is our coach. He has built a program where the players seem like they truly care about each other.

This was a weird year. Probably should have upset a playoff team but got beat convincingly by Rutgers. Will give A for the win and admit that I have no idea what good looks like for the Gophers in this new environment.

Losing by TD is convincing? Game was close the entire time and if not for a turnover in our end and a dropped pick six we probably win.

I thought that Rutgers was pretty clearly the better team that day

Stats are almost identical. It probably felt worse because our o-line was so bad that day and it was a game we were favored to win.

From the stands a clear A. Saw the stats at the half and on paper it was closer than it seemed in person. Had a little "oh no" a couple of times but the defense took care of it. Fun game to watch as a Gopher.

A-/B+ - Showed a little rust early and treaded water in the 2nd half. That team wasnt that good....

I don’t think I ever thought we were gonna win that game. It just was a Buzzkill from the beginning. Iowa at the half I thought we were gonna win — when we recovered the ball against Michigan on the onside kick I thought we were gonna win —- UNC when our distracted by his on-line schtick kicker lined up I thought we were gonna win. Rutgers, regardless of the stats, felt like a disaster and that we were gonna get beat from the jump, IMO. I thought we were gonna come out a house a fire trying to kill AK but we were flat as flat could be.

 

[pinky mingo]

A, because the players had fun with the gadget and trick plays. It was good to see and has to help in recruiting.

 

[GoForGold]

A+ for the defense.

 

[Batc0017]

Time out usage was elite

 

[Spoofin]

B. I mean we won, but we played against 8 starters and it wasn’t out of reach.
