Nebraska at Minnesota

[Win TWINS!!!]

God that bottom photo just looks cold. Like nothingness of cold. How in the world does Minneapolis have a NBA, NFL and MLB team!?

Because....

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Will the home crowd be enough to help push the Golden Gophers to 6 - 0?

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Not sure tbh, but it might have been built in the industrial part of town.

It's actually on campus. In the background are Williams Arnea, and also Mariucci Arena.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Nebraska fumbled it 4 times @ Illinois
Nebraska had 10 penalties for 70 yds to Illinois 4 penalties for 30 yds.

Nebraska had 674 total yards to Illinois 299.
.

and yet Nebraska barely won....

 

[Red_Alert]

Shortly after that game we fired our DC and defense responded very well after that.

The numbers don't really support that........

Minnesota 2018

28.5 PPG in the 7 games before
24.1 PPG in the 6 games after

2019 Scoring Defense is 68th at 27.2 PPG through 5 games.

21 pts to FCS South Dakota St
35 pts @ Fresno St (2 OT)....64th in Scoring Offense at 30.5 PPG.
32 pts to Ga. Southern.......109th in Scoring Offense at 21 PPG.
31 pts to Purdue...............93rd in Scoring Offense at 24.8 PPG
17 pts to Illinois...............57th in Scoring Offense at 31.8 PPG

Illinois is the only team that Minnesota has held below their scoring average.

The key take away Nebraska Won. It may have been ugly as sin and we may have had 400 more yards than the opposing team who only lost by 4 points, the fact is we won. 700 yards to 300 typically screams a far different story than what our self inflicted wounded ass ended up with...

We'll see.

We fired Rob Smith after the illinois debacle last year. After he was fired
Purdue: 10 points (7 late in game long after game was decided)
NW: 24-We gave them few short fields
Wisconsin: 15 (8 came in closing seconds while we were in prevent)
Georgia Tech: 10
PPG post Rob Smith in 2018: 14.75

2019
SDSU- Defense started out a bit shaky. No argument here
FS-This game went into double OT inflating points. This was a game we shot ourselves in foot over and over. Including stupid penalties on third down extending drives they scored, and a big fumble on a punt return because they didn't get out of the way.

GS-They had 14 yards of offense in 2nd half and 12 points. They returned 2 fumbles for TD's. They also got 7 points just before half when we failed on 4th and short on our side of the field. It also appears they fumbled the ball and it should've been our ball and no points, but oh well. Defense played much better than points indicate

Purdue-They got 2 late TD's, one after recovering an onside. Defense was a little inconsistent, agreed

Illinois-They scored 14 of their 17 points on Turnovers. Sure, we screwed up, but those aren't on defense

Correct, you won. But MN is getting grief for some ugly wins and therefore diminished. I"m just saying you can't have it both ways.

So what you're really saying is, that out offense is so good, we score for both teams....





Seriously though.... they need to protect the ball better.

Agreed, they're playing with fire with all these mistakes

It will burn them if they don't clean them up

Of Morgans 8 incomplete's on saturday, 6 were drops. Maddening

Giving the passing game a little bit of a break for Saturday. Cold and rainy. Once it stopped raining, they did a better job.

 

[Blackshirts BLVD]

They broke that ice @ Illinois.
.

Ahh yes. I stand corrected.

Bad weather will really make this game interesting . Neither team is very disciplined and both are prone to turnovers even in good conditions . Bad weather could really impact this one more than a normal game

The Gophers are a run first team so bad weather plays into their favor imo.

 

[NolePride]

I’m shocked that seats only 50,000. It looks much larger

That North End Zone probably doesn't have but 2,000 seats.

They also 25,000 chair back seats (that's half the stadium)

Those Upper decks do not look that large

Eh?

Rushing Offense

He didn't say they were good at it, just that they do that first, I guess.
