What grade would you give the Gophers in the win over MSU?

 

[NotAFanOfBecky]

I would give an A for effort, C for results and give an overall of C+\B-.

Disappointing effort by the defense and poor offensive line play coupled with poor play calling.

 

[46Gophers]

Offense - D; Defense - B

 

[mngg11]

Aside from last week, the team doesn't fold. Offense had zero reason to feel good about their chances on that last drive in regulation and made it work (in part thanks to the lack of Sparty discipline)

Win has to be a C, but…..well you know.

 

[akgo4]

C. It's a win. D played well. O "played"..... When you aren't very athletic, the coaching can be complained about all we want - you don't have playmakers on offense. So - C.

 

[4four4]

For me it's always either an A for the win or a F for the loss.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Offense - D; Defense - B

My thought, too, so I went with overall grade of C.

 

[GopherMenace]

I give it a C. For once I’d say the coaching outperformed the players. There were multiple times where players were schemed open and the play was missed or a play was dead but missed tackles let it continue. The play call to have Lindsey roll out and take it himself to end the game was bananas but worked lol

 

[BTChamp]

A for the players effort, C+ defensive coaching ( could be higher if Phil Collins would change up that 3 man rush on 3rd down) and whatever is below F for Harblow. Refused to change those shitty line of scrimmage passes and constant rutm on 2nd and 10. Last two drives Drake must have lost his in helmet speaker.
Total C to C+.

C, they won, it wasn’t pretty though. Pass rush was great in the first half.

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

First half: B
Second half: C-

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

D. I couldn't go C, an average performance would not have put us in a position to have to drive for a game winning TD with less than 2 minutes. I shudder to think about the outcome had MSU not kicked off out of bounds.

 

[ergopher]

The first half was an A-. Lost out on a couple of extra opportunities but won't complain about being up 2 scores at the half. Second half was why I'm always afraid of PJ being up by too much at the half. Before that last drive offense was F and defense was D+, and on offense much of the last drive worked due to penalties and player effort. Overtime was also an A. So I'm on the fence, but a C- feels fitting.

 

[Stuff]

B. At the end of the day it was a B1G win. It was not pretty but it was a win.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Went with C. The offense was brutal for much of the game, the Def was solid but gave up some big plays and a lot of yards and kicker missed a makeable FG. But in the end they found a way to get the W so can't be any worse then a C.

 

[West Fargo Gopher Fan]

I went D. Not as good as I expected. Barely a passing grade if you want to call it that.

If Im being optimistic Its because we have a young quarterback and the future can still be bright.

A win is a win I guess...

 

[BilldGopher]

Graded up this week after last week and went with a B. Also made it to 6 wins, which is worth some extra credit for the game that it happens in.

Doesn't mean that I'm happy however. We have issues.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

C. Crappy game but got the win

 

[gopherbadgerman]

A for the players effort, C+ defensive coaching ( could be higher if Phil Collins would change up that 3 man rush on 3rd down) and whatever is below F for Harblow. Refused to change those shitty line of scrimmage passes and constant rutm on 2nd and 10. Last two drives Drake must have lost his in helmet speaker.
Total C to C+.

What about all the bad passes and the poor offensive line play? So easy to always blame coaches.

 

[imthewalrus]

Comeback overtime wins give me great joy and are very rare. Obviously I had to rate it an A. Great joy is in very short supply on this board it seems to me…
