Good start for the Gophs
Nice looking opening drive, concluding with a Weber TD pass to Eric Decker.
7-0, Gophers, about five minutes in.

Decker now has 14 plays of 20 yds or more.

We’re bringing only 3 or 4 at times w/ Juice’s speed. I think that plays a little into it. When they brought a blitz – Lee Campbell got a sack.

I thought the first one was a fair catch signal
the gophers let up as a result of his hand motion.
by goldybobblehead on Oct 11, 2008 12:17 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Signal
By his intent to run, he’s not trying to call for a fair catch. But, it is a point of empasis this season to clearly signal. shouldn’t the play have been ruled dead right away? Why didn’t they blow it dead?

After that, I think Brad Childress took over the play calling duties, because it’s looked awfully conservative.

that was descriptive enough, I now can picture exactly what happened after that drive. The Kick Ass Offense is clearly in a league of it’s own.

Lots of 4-4, or even 3-5 on defense. We’re bringing the heat a bit – 3 sacks.
Offense has been way too much run. I understand we’re trying to control the clock (keep Juice off the field), but three straight drives with no throws to DEcker is not good. He had six catches in the opening two drives.
by HutchLeaderGuy on Oct 11, 2008 12:37 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
The last drive was three straight runs out of the shotgun…we need to get a bit more imaginative then that.

Defense has 4 sacks and has gotten fairly good pressure. Illinois probably tried running the ball too much in the first half. They’ve been fairly successful through the air.
Illinois missed a FG and has been stuffed on the 1/2 yard line. We also forced them into 2 FGs.

Lawrence had his jersey held up top…he missed the hit by one step. Ref missed that one.
3 plays, 79 yards, :47. Pathetic.

Missed sacks
We have 4 or 5 sacks, but could have 10. We’ve missed too many tackles. I know he is elusive, but…

you realize
the Gophers might actually enter the top 25 this week? Do you think it’s possible? A 6-1 team with at least one pretty good win, and on the road at that…you’ve got to think that’s going to sway a few voters at least. Maybe that reporter from Jersey who voted for the Gophers wasn’t so crazy after all!
I still don’t really think this is a top-25 team, but hey, I’ll take it. One more win for a bowl (one more win to make sure of it that is).
by plinytheelder on Oct 11, 2008 2:26 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I think they'll get votes. And I think Illinois is better than Purdue.
So winning next week on the road again isn’t out of the question.

You all have been pessimized to death...
This is a big win, and you guys should start to think like fans of a winning team. It’s no longer a question of IF you’re going to a bowl game, but which bowl game you go to. I honestly think you could win out your remaining games. You should be favored over Purdue, Michigan, and probably Iowa. Northwestern is a paper tiger. Wisconsin will be tough, but they’re definitely beatable.
Imagine that. An 11-1 season with your only loss to Ohio State is well within the realm of possibility. Not only that, but the symmetry with last season would be beautiful. If you all manage that, we could potentially have 3 11-1 teams assuming OSU wins out and PSU only loses to Ohio State. Who’d have thought?
