Gophers need this one BAD.

I'll be damned, we're going to pull this out after all. Someone found the plug for the boat and bailed like crazy. Looks like we'll make it to shore with a timely gust of wind. Need to get her to dry-dock though cause this thing needs some work.

Nice and needed win!

Karl Juhnke -> RE: Gopher Football (10/27/2018 8:36:16 AM)
The big question now is can they somehow scratch out two more wins and get a rinky dink bowl bid? I say the odds are against it, but it’s not impossible. Yes it’s sad that once again this is the best we are shooting for, but honestly for this year I accept it as a best case scenario. A bowl, any bowl would be a great boost for the program . In coming years i will expect more, as the ‘youth’ excuse becomes invalid.

I have to say I am more impressed with Morgan than Anexstad. I say he should start next week.

Karl Juhnke -> RE: Gopher Football (10/27/2018 10:10:33 AM)
Morgan did much better than I expected. Early on his passes seemed a bit behind the receivers but still catchable. Then he likely adjusted to the speed of live game action and was on the money most of the time. I'd have no problem if they stuck with the 'hot hand'.

Should have been a blowout...4 TOs and one was at the opponents 3 yard line.

This was painful to watch Tried every way possible to give away homecoming to "Hoosiers". Our QB battled and got it done. That's about all I got. Celebrating like we won the B10 was pretty sad.

But the prevailing wisdom from all the talking heads in the newspaper and on TV was "Fleck just has to stick with Annexstad for the long-haul. No QB controversies." Now it seems like that has already gone out the window?

Now it seems like that has already gone out the window? Tanner Morgan looks like a more natural fit in the offense. He is more athletic and more of a running threat. Annextstad's strengths are supposed to be that nothing rattles him and he is supposedly the more accurate passer. I haven't seen anything from Morgan to indicate he gets rattled and he he threw the ball every bit as good or better than Ax. I say stick with Morgan.

My point is that Morgan also doesn't seem to get rattled.

Maybe if they are both healthy he's better, but I'm fine with a run of Morgan to let him get healthy.

As long as a bowl appearance is possible, no matter how remote, you have to ride the guy who is healthy and gives you the better chance at winning.

We have much more experience on that side of the ball. The offense is the side that definitely shows more promise.

TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2018 2:57:52 PM)
I think the kids were actually better. At one point the entire defensive backfield was freshmen. I think Fleck switched it up to keep a couple of them from exceeding 4 games.
