But we shouldn't be happy that they played the 4th qtr as not to lose instead of continuing to put on with how they got the 28

Supposedly high ankle sprain. I'm sure they'll say day to day, but I say out a few weeks. The high ones are the bad ones.

I agree Jeff. There was no reason for him to run anyway as Kirkwood was running well.

The best thing the Gophers can do for the future is to win now. Not groom guys for the future. Grey has proven himself and steadily improved and no Kirkwood is nowhere near as good of a running threat as Gray.

I don't know why they don't throw more with Gray in there. He was wild in the opener, then he seemed to settle down, but it's like they don't trust his passing any more. Let him air it out and see if he's up to it.

Carter's tackle saved the day. Sometimes one big play makes the difference. Winning is good.

I love Grays talent level, think you need him on the field to be a difference-maker when he can.
We've geared our attack to his game, hard to change things mid-stream.
I'm a Phil Nelson guy, and I agree that he is considered to be the "next" guy.
Shortell is a great weapon to have in the wings. Can get it done when needed. He will handle things well until Gray returns.
Because thats what I see happening. We'll go back to Gray (right or wrong) and play this thing out.
Then install a new attack next year around Nelson.
Shortell (unfortunately for him) is "that" guy everyone wants and needs ... dependable and ready at all times, but you seldom plan on giving him the keys at the start of the night.
I'm ok with however we go. I trust Mr Kills take on it.

Nelson is redshirting this year, right? If Shortell continues to play like this, It would be hard to see Nelson coming in next year and replacing him, as a redshirt freshman. We may not see Nelson be the starter until 2015 for his junior and senior year. Patience.

After watching the B10 in the non-conference, I think the Gophers could win more than a couple of conference games this year. There's something to be said for being 3-0, building some confidence, and learning how to win. We won't have any reason to think we can't compete with most of the teams in our conference this year.

What we HAVE to do is take care of our business. By that, I mean, no dumb penalties and keep the TO's down as far as possible. Of course, every team says that, but we have to live it to stand a chance.
