gophers start with the ball in second half

it would be nice to see them march right down the field and assert themselves

running game

I honestly think they should approach this in the opposite way. They should use the pass to set up the run. Weber has been efficient so far—especially on first down. So keep throwing the ball and that will open up running lanes for Eskridge. Our OL isn’t good enough to push the Wildcats around and run the ball down their throats.

18 yards rushing in the first half!

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room.

so keep throwing

we’re having success with it, so keep attacking, and keep them off balance with the run (again the opposite of the traditional run setting up the pass philosophy"
