Drew it's hard to step into a throw when the defense is in your face all day.

No they didn't I saw a few blown catches including one on 3rd down in the first half. Nelson needs to get a hell of a lot better, but his receivers have not helped him.

I agree. OL didn't run block and they didn't protect well either. Like I said, Iowa whipped us at the LOS on both sides.

Looking back, I sure wish to hell they had hired Trestman back then. The program would be a lot farther along and I doubt he would have been interested in an NFL job if he had been coaching here.

If we play like that against Michigan, we will lose by like 50.

Head scratching that Nelson got that much run.

Grinding it out like that takes perfection. And when the defense knows the gameplan is run, run, run, it gets pretty easy to shut that down eventually.

Ohio State, Michigan, and even Wisconsin have quality players at each of the positions, both on offense and defense....Minnesota does not, and for a while, we compete, but eventually, the quality of their players takes over to take control...

Happens too often, and until we can recruit quality players on offense and defense, we will be a mediocre, run of the mill, team.

Minnesota sports in general, have the same problems, except for Gopher Hockey, Gopher Women' hockey, WNBA.......recruiting is the name of the game for each sport...Let's see how Petino's team does this coming season!

quote:

Minnesota Director of Athletics Norwood Teague announced today that head football coach Jerry Kill is continuing to take time to focus on his treatment and better manage his Epilepsy.
In Kill's absence, Tracy Claeys will take over as Interim Head Coach.


Statements from all of the necessary people.

Head Coach Jerry Kill

quote:

"My wife Rebecca, myself and our two daughters want to thank everyone for their prayers and concerns during the last few weeks. This was a difficult decision to make, but the right decision. Our staff has been together a long time and I have full confidence in Coach Claeys and them during my time away. Every decision that will be made will be in the best interest of the players and the program. I look forward to returning to the Minnesota sideline on a full-time basis soon."


Director of Athletics Norwood Teague

quote:

"Coach Kill is taking time to continue treatment and focus on managing his Epilepsy. Tracy Claeys will serve as the interim head coach until Coach Kill is ready to return. Coach Kill will remain in very close contact with the team and his staff and provide direction and support as needed. Our support for Coach Kill is unwavering and we look forward to his return to full-time coaching duties.

"This is a great group of student-athletes under the guidance of one of the longest-tenured and most respected staffs in college football, and there is no doubt in my mind that they will continue to move this program forward and make us proud."

University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler

quote:

"Athletics Director Norwood Teague and Coach Kill are managing this health situation, as it relates to our football program, in the most straightforward and caring manner possible. They are acting in the best interests of this University, its alumni and fans and, most importantly, the student-athletes who have placed their trust in us. I eagerly look forward to Coach Kill's return and wish him all the best."

And he made good decisions by running when there was nobody open. What a terrible break when the refs took the TD away with a weird penalty. I thought that was the beginning of the end for us. But then the big INT returned for a TD, and we were right where we would have been if the bad penalty wasn't called.

No Mark. No Colter. Plus we are probably an easy team to overlook. That said, I'll still take the win. One more and we can play in a minor bowl game.
