I think Weber would look an awful lot better if we had a running game.

But we don't, so he won't.

Gray brings a run threat to the game that we otherwise don't have.

Give Brewster more time - maybe a game By Mark Craig, Star Tribune
Last update: October 24, 2009 - 7:38 PM




COLUMBUS, OHIO - We're 33 games into the Tim Brewster era and not really sure if this is still the beginning or perhaps the beginning of the end.
A 38-7 loss at Ohio State on Saturday dropped Brewster to 12-21, 5-16 in the Big Ten. That's not good enough, but it's also hard to give up on a guy after less than three years when he was hired based on his ability to recruit.
Ironically, in the midst of a second-half pratfall that ranked alongside some of Brewster's worst moments, his prized recruit, quarterback MarQueis Gray, had his best overall game. He ran for 81 yards while completing five of the first six passes of his career for 51 yards and a touchdown pass to Troy Stoudermire late in the game that saved Brewster from posting the program's first back-to-back shutout losses since 1950.



But he's still too stupid to realize that his best recruit should be starting! I stand by my claim that he's a very good recruiter but he has no business making any gameday decision beyond mustard, ketchup or both on his burger while he watches the game far away from the sidelines!

Decker out the rest of the year?

Time to turn Grey loose. Brewster will need a playmaker. Weber is not the guy.

A special player.
This should have been a magical year for him.
Disappointing as hell to end this way.
He put as much effort into being a Gopher as any player I've ever watched.
I hope he gets the opp at the next level.
Don't count him out. Honestly think he is Welker-like.

But without Decker his roommate, thsi might make Weber a better QB forcing him to find another WR instead of always looking for Eric first

We can only hope this is how it turns out since Brewster probably won't make the proper decision and play Gray!

Status: offline 		This season is starting to turn ugly fast.  It started out great.  Even the loss against Cal was hard fought and entertaining.  But they are stuck in the mud right now.  You knew this stretch of the schedule would be a killer.  And just when they're through the worst of it, Decker being out only makes things worse.  I usually don't put too much importance in a single player at the receiver position.  But losing Decker is huge.  The feel that he had with Weber was amazing.  He doesn't have the flash of a Harvin or Moss.  But he knows all the little things, the tricks and techniques to make tons of catches and keep drives moving.  I don't think it's an exaggeration to say losing him takes a TD per game away from this offense.  And that's hard to overcome.

Status: offline 		man, you watch games like Illini-Mich and you wonder why that doesn't happen more.
CFB is so emotional.
I can't believe we don't see more wins by teams like the Gophers over better teams when they get them at home.
This opening season in this beautiful stadium has been disappointing for that.
Homecoming, you should win. Against Wisconsin, you should win. Stuff like that.
Every time this program seems to get righted, its tilts off course again.
Mich State? You handle them at your new home, you just do.

Seems to "appear" out of hte turf near the first-down marker when his QB needs him most.
Stu had no talent, but put a hell of a career together. And then parlayed it into 20 years of Viking media work.

Nice drop.

Amazing we still have the lead.

--edit--

We're getting big played to death this quarter.

Last team with ball wins. Or loses.
