A very improbably finish. GSU has some athletes and they seem pretty well coached. This was their backup QB by the way. We had to play some RB's that are way down the depth chart too and it showed.

When the Gophers got the ball the last time, I told my wife, the Gophers have good receivers. This isn’t over. And they do. And Morgan delivered to them, despite facing too much pressure.

Status: offline 		A win is a win, I guess. Certainly shot ourselves in the feet (and hands, ankles, knees and ears). Things that drove me insane:


As was mention, Fleck's use of TO's is idiotic. Specifically, you are down by 4 and they are going for 2 with 1:30 seconds left in the game, don't call your last TO. "IF" they make it or not you still need a TD. The best they can do is go up by 6. Instead he uses it to see what formation they run and left the O with zero TO's on the game winning drive. The best case scenario for them still left us the ability to win the game with the same TD you needed.

Morgan doesn't get the concept of taking a 7 yard run and getting OOB to kill the clock instead of holding on to the ball and riffling a pass that has no chance in hell of being caught. Take the yards kids and get out of bounds.

Our 'big/massive/strong/" lines got manhandled today. All 3 phases. I can understand when they are more athletic and get around us because we are too slow but they also pushed us around. Can't have both.

Scrap the Seth Jones Wildcat schtick. He never hands off or throws it. It's everyman to Jones at this point.

Status: offline 		Good things:

Our WR's are total clutch. I've bitched about Johnson dropping too many easy balls (and he does). But that guy can absolutely carry this team at times. When he's on he's dominant.

We keep churning out effective backs.

Morgan had really bad moments but was absolutely clutch on that last drive (minus that one that went right threw the DB's hands and was caught on the sidelines. that was totally a catch BTW. what they saw in the replay to uphold the decision is beyond me).

We're 3-0 again.

We don't have a golden horseshoe in Minnesota sports. It's appreciated so far. But do we really need a lucky horseshoe vs Georgia Southern? That's kinda sad.

The blocking is the bigger issue for me as I think the miscues can be corrected. Here is the thing, the Gophers O-line averages 20 lbs heavier than the Vikings O-line. It's like Jeff said, they aren't just getting beat by shifty, athletic pass rushers. They are getting bullied by undersized, but plucky grinders. There is no excuse for that. They have to be able to impose their will on these guys. Especially in the running game.

Our O line is huge.
But when it comes to toughness, our O line is huge.
Just not in a couple of them to bully anyone around.
Keep hoping it will develop, but it hasn't yet.

With you there. QB isn't great for RPO either. Power run game, play action, throw deep.

We outmatch teams with our oline size and 3 stud WRs but we bunch up the line with 2 TE and go RPO...makes no sense. I would even understand putting Green in the backfield as a FB for I or Pro Formations for short pass patterns to open up the deep passing game....I don't understand RPO....should have recruited the Marshall kid then.

There will be plenty of games on TV, just not the Gophers. They are going to win the bye week in solid fashion.

(Actually, small lie here. I knew that ahead of time).

Status: offline 		Do any longtime Gopher football fans know the name Sam Richter? I met him at a speaker's association meeting last week, and in the course of the conversation at the table there was talk of Gopher football. I gathered from the conversation that Sam used to play for them, so I looked him up when I came home.

If you knew of him, you might be interested to hear that he is a highly sought-after speaker these days. He also created a new software for speakers to use, although I don't know much about it.

Just as an aside - the topic of tailgating was front and center, and both Sam and Joe Schmit (also at the table) agreed that it is almost impossible to park and tailgate at the U these days. Sam even admitted that he rarely even goes to games anymore because of the chaos just to get in the gates. That was when I mentioned that I had a conference there the following week and wondered if I should worry about finding parking. He's the one who told me the Gophers had a bye.

He seems like a super guy, and still a proud Gopher alum.
