OFFICIAL GAME THREAD - Gophers @ Hawkeyes
Minnesota Golden Gophers at Iowa Hawkeyes, Nov 21, 2009 11:02 AM CST
I see three questions we need answered in a big way today.
- Can the Gophers and Tim Brewster win a game they aren't supposed to? It hasn't happened yet but this would be the game that goes to the top of Brewster's resume.
- Can we get some yards and points out of our offense? This is all on the shoulders and arm of Adam Weber. Wake up the echos of the Michigan State game or it will be a long day.
- Can the defense avoid giving up the big play? Force third downs and then force the punt. Iowa's freshman QB may make some mistakes but we can't give him confidence by hitting a couple home runs.
yes + yes + yes = WIN

Yawn..Brewster is 0-8 in Trophy games
Iowa 34
Gophers 3
FYI
The # 1 defense in the ACC, # 10 in the nation…North Carolina. Their defensive coordinator? Everitt Withers.
Buck Bravo
hey
at least Weber throws his shoulder into somebody picking up a first down.

This is the ugliest
most inept, worst offense in all of CFB. Unbelievable that this is the last game. I haven’t seen one ounce of improvement this season. Come on defense, it is completely up to you.
they
have to figure out how to get Gray to the outside…..
now snap fumbled when the Gophers looked like they were going to score. good lord.

Just wondering...
why do we even bother putting Gray in if all he is going to do is run up the middle. EVERYONE knows that is what the play call is when he is in the game.
pretty horrific

We could win
If we didnt have a 6 2 200 lb turd taking snaps.
I was going to say
This team looks awful at first but really so far this game its just weber. Hes had time to throw the wrs have been making the catches the d looks good and is playing insipired and the special teams has been good. Along with the play calling hasnt been that bad either. I mean really back to back fumbles wtf.
Nice play Sherels
Our defense has been so much better this year than they are given credit for. No thanks to the shitty offense.
Ok that was a drop
But Weber still cost us a min of 6 pts on fgs with fumbles
Wow weber nice throw there
I love the fumbles and int groundings and the sacks after 10 secs to throw the ball away.
The rest of the team stops playing inspired
and starts making mistakes after playing so hard and pretty well only to have thier qb disappoint them again. So now we start getting drops and bad kicks.
No mor excuses
It’s not the line, it’s not the receivers, its not Fisch, Weber can’t throw straight or figure things out.
Buck Bravo
Its too bad the D is playing so great
and having Weber still in there.
Ouch
why not just let gray throw the ball as a qb so he can account for the defenders
nice hits on the RBs
by collado this game. Im liking Tinsley too he seems to have the speed to get around the blocks and make the plays behind the line of scrimage that Tripplett wasnt making.
The offense tried to lose last week
Against Iowa it will be easier for them.
Jucos havnt worked out to well for us
Pittman Carpenter WTF.
If i was on the D
I would kick weber and fischs ass in the locker room
I agree I let the QB competition next year to be between Alipate and Gray
Whom ever can learn the offense better over the offseason.
With the way the D has been playing
We should be winning.
The bottom line
is that this team doesn’t have a single guy who can play QB. Gray probably is far too raw and inexperienced, Weber is the worst QB in the Big Ten, Alipate needs to keep his redshirt, and Clint Brewster transferred away.
Buck Bravo
The thing we've been ignoring about Gray
is all of the turnovers. He has fumbled at least 4 times I can recall, and then the brutal pick today. I think he can be good but we need to simplify the offense.
This offense
is a total embarrassment. It hasn’t shown one ounce of improvement. The defense has been busting their asses all year and gotten zero support.
ESPN 360 showed Auburn's text message complaint command center
It was pretty interesting, was it on ESPN?
That was a horrible pass. He was wide open. Easy 3rd down pick up.
Weber must go.
Maroon and Gold Headquarters: The Daily Gopher
DAmmiittt
the offense, including the punt, 4 F’ing plays, took 19 seconds off the clock. Youve got a whole half and this is what you come out with??? 19 SEConds Including the punt!!! pathetic.
Well atleast we have offense on our basketball team.
How bout Rodney Williams.
yeah i bet he could play WR
it would be hard to cover a guy that tall that can jump just throw it up. Can he take a hit though lol.
I like this idea, let's get all the hoops guys involved.
LWest – RB, Nolen, CB, Sampson- TE, etc…
We all know Mbakwe and White would be good on D… I won’t even go for the many cheap shots available.
Collado can really hit
for a little guy maybe he should be the smallest outside LB in history cus he cant really cover.
I've never liked Brewster, but have tried to refrain from calling for him to be fired ....
… But I’ll gladly support Maturi if he decides to show Brewster the door.
Maroon and Gold Headquarters: The Daily Gopher
Let's see if
the offense can take more than 19 stinkin’ seconds off the clock. Come on Fisch—-
No way Brewster throws away his
last year as a football coach at this lever with Weber next year right?
Brewster's biggest fault is sticking with Weber. ANYTHING would be better.
If not Gray why not try Pittman? Try Stoudermire (High School QB)? Try Adam Lueck (practice QB)?
Buck Bravo
I wonder if Brewster is forcing Fisch to stick with Weber. Fisch is learning, but Weber makes him look horrible.
Buck Bravo
The definition of insanity
Trying the same thing over and over expecting different results. This goes to Brewster sticking with Weber and all the Weber supporters on this site.
Weber definitely has a lot of blame on his shoulders
…and I do believe Gray should be playing right now.
But our whole offense is bad. O-line can’t open up running lanes. QB sucks. Receivers are dropping balls when they are thrown on target. Then receivers run into each other to break up the play and injure themselves.
QB is far from the only problem.
Im not saying they are good
and I dont care whats not his fault. I care about the pick 6s, the sacks when he could throw away the fumbles the lack of being able to adjust and the stupid intentional groundings. Overall we are worse with him at qb then we would be with our offense never seeing the field. Look at the last 3 weeks now our o has scored more for the other team then they have for us huh does that even make sense.
When was the last time the Gophers scored against Iowa?
Maroon and Gold Headquarters: The Daily Gopher
This offense is so embarrasing
From the playcalling to the offensive execution, to the personnel, to the penalties… Very tough to watch.
As awful as that 2007 team was...
they managed to make it a game in Iowa. 21-16 loss.
Some guy named Erik Decker scored the last TD against Iowa.
are there any positive's about this season?
Besides the debut of TCF Bank Stadium and Decker’s Ridiculous catch vs California
Which would you rather watch
This inept offense, or the sweet offense and the defensive meltdown of the Mason era?
Bring Mason back to coach the o
call the plays and recruit the RBs and Oline. Have Brewster Recruit the D and coach it with Cosgrove. This D with the Mason ball control pound the rock O = Gtech type success.
We are in for another season of Shit next year if Weber is QB
He relied too heavily on Decker…and Decker is gone next year
Look everyone the GOphers got a first down with Weber off the field!
Maroon and Gold Headquarters: The Daily Gopher
Leave him in Fujck
its better to run the play every frikken time then anything theyve done for that last 6 weeks.
It wasn't so much that
it was given the way the D was lined up. I would rather try to run it than have Weber throw an incompletion, INT, or take a sack. Which has been the outcome 80% of the time the last 3 weeks.
that is atleast the 4th time
they havent got the play in in time this game. This staff is a joke. He comes a Gray sneak you know its going to get stuffed this time.
Griese is basically bashing the coaching. ANd he's right.
Maroon and Gold Headquarters: The Daily Gopher
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKIN
RETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Now that was stupid
Running the EXACT same play. What the hell???
Heads need to roll. Any of us could coach better than this.
I am sorry guys
but this is just fuckin’ ridiculous. I cannnot stand this much longer.
Brewster probably thought he was really smart on the sidelines ...
… thinking, “Hey, they won’t think we’re stupid enough to run into the heart of their defense with our fullback two straightt times.” Idiot.
Maroon and Gold Headquarters: The Daily Gopher
The o-line and RBs have a lot to do with it too
But at least we are seeing different players out there
2009 Fan poll
We are the chief rivals for WI and Iowa… But we chose Sconny. So much for hate week!
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/ncaa/specials/fansurvey/2009/big10.html
I hate Iowa more
but i think the rivalry is bigger with wisconsin.
100% Agree here
My GF’s sister went to UW. She constantly tells us how great the parties were, how awesome everything was.
Can we see Gray for a quarter
I dont even care what happens if we get to see him
Bryant Allen
is going to be very good, McKnight and Stoudmire have been solid… We… may have a future. Thoughts anybody?
It was a catch for every angle
problem is when your offense looks so bad they wont give you the benifit of the doubt on plays like that.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
throwing jump balls to a 5 11 wr. Really
Someone punch
Brewter in the mouth for me!!
sneak Gray 4 times
he got half a yard the first time.
throw a slant if you are going to throw the ball to stoud.
Throw a fade to Mcknight. Run a sweep with whaley or Gray.
Our Offensive stats look
like our defensive stats from 07. Talk about a flip for Brewster. He will be the only coach in history to have the worst defense in the country and worst offense in the country in a 3 year period.
Tech
gets a pick off a deflected pass thrown behind the receiver and returns it inside the Sooner 20.
sucking Sooners…..

If Brewster would of kicked the FG
he could kick it again nowl.
Set your feet weber
you had all day and start freakin out
Weber freaks out
everytime he drops back and his intial target isnt there.
Weber is wearing a play chart on his wrist
Did they realize that silly sign language stuff wasn’t working?
Why am I
subjecting myself to this garbage???
How we did not win this game
Lets face it, its Gopher football.
I love when Iowa fans rip on Brewster and Weber
so do we, do they think it hurts our feelings.

Say hi to your Uncle for me. I love the transportation bills and train ideas.
