Damnit!!! Huge run by Kirkwood negated by two penalties on the Gophers!



Freakin' 30 yard penalty on the offense....don't know if I've ever seen that.

When you consider Kirkwood ran for about 25 yards on that play, we were set back 55 yards.









Lost control of your team, Jerry.






3rd and 49










And 4th and 49. Ouch.

So far we're keeping it close. Q needs to stay at QB. Seems like a no brainer....

But the 24 points looks worse than it was for the D.....don't forget the special teams allowed a 99 yard kickoff return TD.

And keep pounding them with his legs...and Kirkwood.  Throw in the occasional bootleg with run always being an option for Gray.  Throw a few passes here and there to keep 'em honest.

But our D has to stop them at least twice in the 2nd half to have a chance.  Also need to force at least one big turnover.

He's terrible.  And we went all the way to Australia to find him?  There's nobody else between here and Australia that can punt any better?

Remember Orseske? He's probably even worse. There is no way.....no way..... that Pete Mortell can be as bad as those two. Might as well give him a try.

Texas Tech's defense is worse than MN's.

I'd bring Gray in to QB this 4th and 2.

That whole sequence of events was as good as I've ever seen as a Gophers fan.

OK, that's a sad comment.

Still hanging in there. Probably don't have to worry about losing by 40 at this point.

Thought he was down on first replay.

Now it looks like knee didn't touch ground (somehow).

Hopefully refs agree.

So often they call those types TD on the field, and so often they are actually down before the goal line.  Had a bad feeling about that one from the beginning.
