Gopher Football 2014

[YiGGiN4SLoBS]

7 yards passing.

That is pathetic.

You can say that again. 1000 times.

4 years in to the program and we are 1-7 passing against san jose st. Really? I don't care who is in there at qb, Leidner aint much better, that is down right pathetic.

We won't win more then 3 big ten games with that slop.

I do like the defense quite a bit, but wow..... the offense is so inept they don't really have a chance.

YOU AINT GONNA RUN FOR 6 YDS A CARRY IN THE BIG TEN JERRY!!!

If you were told the gophers had 387 total yards on offense and won by 17 would you be satisfied with the outcome?

[rundrave]

Another Gopher fail....

[Big Dave2]

If you were told the gophers had 387 total yards on offense and won by 17 would you be satisfied with the outcome?

Not when the opponent is San Jose State who gave up almost 60 points the week before. You schedule these week teams as tune up games. The idea is to be able to practice just about anything you want and still win by 30+ points.

How many Big 10 wins are you predicting?

[CaptainMusky]

How many Big 10 wins are you predicting?

3 or 4 depending if they don't get any more injuries. Brown jug coming back this week.

Good Luck with all that.

This program is doomed from the start. Loserville USA.

[certified jumbo]

By no means do I think the gophers are a incredible team. But I don't 3-4 wins in big ten is unreasonable.

[JBMasterAngler]

The michigan game should be pretty interesting. Their offense and defense is pretty bad. If we pass the ball a little bit, we have the best chance of beating them we've had in years! I really don't know what to expect...could be a shootout or we could lose by 4 TD's.

[zepman]

I'll say it again, Nelson set this team back years...he was supposed to take over this team as THE dual threat QB for the next 3 years and it just didn't pan out that way. It happens.

What we're seeing now is a pretty good over-all Gopher team being led by two back-up QB's...frustrating!!

The Gophs are heading in the right direction...the team as a whole is better than what we've seen in quite some time.

All but one postion....again, frustrating.

PSSSST..........Philip Nelson was not very good either.

[Slabasaurus]

PSSSST..........Philip Nelson was not very good either

Yeah. He would have made a better kicker.

too soon?

[zepman]

Exactly, BigDave....that's the problem.

He under performed miserably.

[CaptainMusky]

He may not have been very good, but a better passing QB than Leidner AND have the chance to put two QB's in there that had some experience. It would take the pressure off a bit.

I hope Streavler plays this week and I hope they try a few more pass attempts, but if the running game is working I could care less if they have 300 rushing yards and 5 passing as long as they are moving the ball and scoring points. They really have no weapons to throw to anyway. Williams is dinged up. They have some Freshman they are high on, but were hoping to redshirt them. My guess is they pull the redshirt before the season is over at this rate.

Nice little beat down on Michigan today but man is that team bad.

[RumRiverRat]

I could get 21 other guys together and we could beat Michigan.

[certified jumbo]

Nice win.

Cobb has been fun to watch and the defense is good.

4-1 going into bye week. Only loss to solid TCU team.

Happy for coach kill. He does well wherever he goes.

[Canon Guy]

Good Luck with all that.

Looks like you are doing as well this year as you did last year in the Gophers thread.

[certified jumbo]

Btw, nice call captain musky.

Indeed, the little brown jug is coming home;-)

[fishersofmen]

Defense did look solid some nice tackling out there today.

[RuddyDuck]

Nice win. Normally we would blow a game like this. Was good to see us run off with the jug for once!

[RumRiverRat]

Enjoy the only Big 10 win of the season.

Michigan is garbage.

[Big Dave2]

Looks like you are doing as well this year as you did last year in the Gophers thread.

I don't even understand what this means?

[Hester]

It means your wrong.

[zepman]

It was way more than a nice win...it was a beat-down in the Big-House.

In front of 102K fans...the Gophers completely dominated a team that has kicked their a$$ for DECADES...no need to apologize for the state of Michigan football here. It was a beat down...plain and simple...in their house!

If Liedner can play the way he did today, combined with our run game, this could be a very fun season. Liedner is the key, obviously...he needs to keep showing promise in the passing game. He doesn't need to be great...he needs an OC who understands how to use him. I think that happened today.

Off weak now...time to get some people healthy.

The next 4 or so games are very winable...just sayin.

I like the way this TEAM is heading....

[RumRiverRat]

65k of those fans got free tickets.

Michigan is a garbage team this year

This win is absolutely meaningless.

They beat a team that any High School team could beat.

[LMITOUT]

Oh look...someone beat the slow kid in a game of chess and now everyone thinks they're the next Garry Kasparov.

ROFL.

[Canon Guy]

Nice win for the young men. Hopefully they can build on it

[JBMasterAngler]

I don't care how bad Michigan is, it was very enjoyable watching the gophers dominate them! I took it in as best as I could, because it may not happen anytime soon

With that being said, what's with the death wish Brady Hoak had on his QB? The kid was getting beat up all game, then gets an obvious ankle injury in the 4th quarter, and Hoak leaves him in! Then when Gardner finally does go in (too late to make a difference), the offense showed a little spark.

I'm glad we have a bye this week. Let the players cherish this win a little. But also allow some time to pass so they don't suffer from a hangover in the northwestern game.
