Minnesota Golden Gophers at Wisconsin Badgers, Nov 15, 2008 2:30 PM CST
HALFTIME UPDATE:
Minnesota - 21
Wisconsin - 7
First of all the first half game ball has to go to the offensive line. They are giving Weber all kinds of time and he's been able to find his freshmen receivers to make some big plays. Watch for the Badgers to start blitzing to get through to Weber, we'll see how ready we are for that.
Defensively we have stopped the run and gotten great pressure on Sherer (who is terrible btw). When this game began with a Gopher fumble at the 10 things had a chance to get way out of hand in a hurry. But these guys are playing with some toughness and confidence that we haven't seen in several weeks.
Plenty of mistakes on both sides but plenty of big plays as well to make this an entertaining game. Second half should be a lot of fun as The Axe is on the line.
----------
We are live from the Camp Randall pressbox. Game thread will likely be maintained by you the readers/commenters. PJS and I may be in and out but no official moderation.
The band is on the field, we are less than 20 min from kickoff. Here are some keys or questions to be answered today if the Gophers are to win.
1. Win special teams. Troy Stoudermire told me last week that he would house a kick off today. Getting a special team's TD, great coverage and no missed kicks (easy ones at least) will be vital if we are going to win in Madison for the first time since 1994.
2. How disciplined will our linebackers be. The weakside guy has to stay at home and not get beat on the cutback. Then the guys in the middle have to stuff anything between the tackles.
3. Three and Outs. We cannot have them on offense and we need to force several of them on defense.
4. Third and longs! Get them in third and long, make them pass, then let the secondary make a huge play.
We'll see how it plays out.

Since when
did Minneapolis become a bastion of college football?
They are making these guys sound like hall of famers. Last time I check neither the Badgers nor the Gophers were having a great season.
And we are also aware that it gets cold up here in the winter.

it wasn't a DANGEROUS hit
it’s football…and the pace is fast, you can go in with your shoulder but the player you are hitting turns or ducks and it the helmet may come in contact…it certainly wasn’t intentional, and I still think it was mostly shoulder…the side of the helmet wouldn’t have hurt him as much…the shoulder is much more forceful

The announcer was right ....
… that option so close to the goalline was too risky at this point in the game. Especially w/Salamon in the game. He’s touched the ball, what 15 times this year since he got that one start?

and Mike Dunbar deserves the blame for that.
Also our special teams coach needs to be asked why he allows his punt returners to catch the ball inside the 10.

turning point
was the 2nd and 19 play. Make that first tackle it’s 3rd and 10, no penalty, we likely get the ball back with the lead.

Defense?
Poo.
At some point, our defense decided that “throwing a shoulder into somebody” and hoping they fall down was considered a “form tackle”. Is that what Roof is teaching? Is Brewster proud of that?
This game was over, and this might sound just ridiculous, but I’ll say it anyway…this game was over when Willie V. missed the QB sack, he scrambled on 3rd and long, and hit a receiver to get the ball down to our 10 yard line, instead of sacking the QB and forcing a punt at the 50. Wisconsin scored a touchdown a minute later.
I’ve said this all season….a team who has to have so many turnovers to win is not a good football team. My disappointment is that these guys show a lot of signs of not being well coached. The Gophers have had the worst penalties this season…the late hits….the cheap shots…they are not a disciplined and well coached team. That sucks.
