Gophers with a Win!!!
Too quiet in here?

I couldn't get the game. I'm on YouTubeTV. Gophers were supposed to be on an alternative BTN channel. But when you tried to connect it gave an error message. Then after a while the channel disappeared from the live listing altogether.

Have I mentioned that Kirk Ferentz is a dick?

Been pretty quiet down there since the light was shined brightly on that program
For the U's turnaround to happen, we have to expect to win these games consistently, and that hasn't happened yet.
Be good to start that process .... starting Friday night.
But they look like a lot to handle for us right now. We seem frageeeeeeelaaaaaa.

We sure are still "running back U" tho.
We've always got a couple fantastic running backs on the roster, almost every year since I was a kid. Its amazing.

I think they need to fashion a set of Al Bundy Polk High cleats for when running backs score 4 TDs. Mo is the latest in a line of great downhill runners. Nothing flashy, but he pounds the crap out of you until you start to lose the will to tackle him.

Same problem as the Vikings. Great running game, potent WR's, good enough QB and a shitty D.

Think I saw somewhere that something like 48 of the first 250 scheduled games have been cancelled or postponed?
That's a pretty high %.
Feels like we are on borrowed time here.

Would be awesome to get Floyd back no matter how the rest of the season goes.

Yep, always demoralizing to see those trophies leave town.

The 2020 college football season can be divided into three phases. It began with a fear-and-loathing period, transitioned to a choppy start/restart and is now in a chaotic scramble to the finish. There are 15 games either delayed or canceled this week, and the question the sport’s leaders are asking out loud is a simple one: Can college football slog to the finish and crown a champion?

“It’s going to be hard to finish, to be honest,” a Power Five president told Yahoo Sports on Thursday. “You saw what happened with Maryland and Ohio State [being canceled], and what’s happening in the SEC. The next couple weeks are going to be tricky. The numbers are trending in the wrong direction.”

The signs of the sport’s struggle are obvious. Four SEC games have been postponed this weekend. Overall, double-digit games have disappeared from the schedule for the second consecutive week. The calendar is running out of room to play a full schedule, which means leagues facing the prospect of not fulfilling their already limited inventory quotas for televised games.

The trends in college football, not surprisingly, mirror the COVID-19 trends around the country. There’s been a precipitous spike in COVID-19 positives in recent weeks, and there are few signs that will abate in the short term. On Wednesday, the nation recorded more than 145,000 COVID-19 cases, a single-day record in the United States.

“College football is a great representative of our country at large,” Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin said. “Some weeks, it seems like we’re doing really well with the virus. Some weeks, it’s kicking our rear end.”

Nice job getting off the field on 3rd down and converting our first 3rd down backed up.

Clock should've stopped on Ibrahim's 1st down run but it kept running.

Bad pass by Morgan for a pick, this could be the dagger the way things are going.

Oh look, a penalty on the Hawkeyes.

We shouldn't be in this game, but we still are. Wake up and move the ball.

Kicking woes continue. Nice drive though. Would've been a great drive if we had the lead, nice time eater.

Tanner Morgan was the 5th favorite to win the Heisman coming into the season. Oh how his stock has crashed. He's terrible!
