Minnesota had three possessions after taking a 31-10 lead in the third quarter. All they had to do was score on one of them. Instead, they ran Darius Taylor into the ground, went nowhere, and punted all three times. To make matters worse, Fleck's risk-averse offensive philosophy may have cost them dearly, as Taylor was injured in the last play of that third drive.

This is Fleck's offense, plain and simple. He thought he could take his foot off the pedal and run out the clock in this game — as he all too often does — and it blew up in his face in spectacular fashion. And it's going to keep happening until he realizes that he is the problem.

On e again the Gophers defense can't handle a freshman QB who can run. That opening drive was pathetic.

Riddick with another massive ST blunder. Gophers start on their own 4. Three feeble plays later Louisiana starts at midfield.

I tuned in and the Gophers were down 0-7 but tied it up 7-7. Now our D is letting them drive right down the field and are in the red zone.....looking like another lose brewing from what I have seen in just a few minutes. No defense at all this season.

I don't miss him at all. The problem with this half has been the defense. Rossi has some serious work to do with this unit.

Meh, he forced a throw when he didn't need to. It's a mistake that isn't surprising for someone in his first full year as a starter.

Now we're at the grind part of the game with this excruciatingly predictable offense.

I swear there’s a clause in every Gopher coach’s contract. If you have a nice lead at halftime immediately stop doing the things that got you that lead.

That long TD they surrendered spooked Fleck and everything changed. They started rushing 3 and 4 instead of 5 and 6 and said “We don’t care if you score, just so you take a few minutes to do it. What are you gonna do, score 21 points in the 4th quarter?”

Its not just Gophers.

When was the last coach we had in any sport that would just step on an opponents neck and bury them? Just give them no hope of any kind of comeback?

Denny in 98?

Michigan football is about to go down for cheating. Ouch! Will they be put on probation before the season is over?

Lets see how it plays out but the NCAA seems to have a vendetta out for Harbaugh. Not saying it's right or wrong, btw. You gotta imagine the commission is done within 5 years by the way things are going.

It was ugly as hell, but you gotta love any time the Gophers beat Iowa. I may not have mentioned it here before, but Kirk Ferentz is a dick.

If I was Kaliakmanis, I'd enter the transfer portal ASAP. The kid has a serious arm and some real talent that is never going to develop in Fleck's stone age offense. Woody Hayes ran a more imaginative offense in the 60's than Fleck does now.

Meh. It evens out for a couple of bullshit calls against the Gophers on Iowa's td drive.

I really don't care. Ferentz s a dick.

He's not very good. Tanner Morgan had a really solid career with PJ.

When he was throwing to two of the best receivers.in the country.

Kaliakmanis wasn't great yesterday, but his receivers did him no favors. Crooms alone dropped three straight passes.
