<p>On Saturday the Minnesota Golden Gopher football team played their last home game of the 2014 season against the Ohio State Buckeyes. </p> <p><span>The Gopher's played with heart and fortitude but failed to have a perfect season at home. Read on for my thought about the game. That's right; it's time for 3 Stars, 4 Quarters, and 5 Thoughts.</span></p>

<p>Corn off the Cobb. The unquestioned star of the game in my mind. A few of the drives he took it all on his shoulders and scored. I considered this a game a very good NFL interview for <span>David Cobb</span>.</p>

<br>A great old comic strip. A big game for BBC with the great interception/return, a forced goal-line fumble, a pass breakup, and several tackles. It looks like he wants to be the senior leader for next year.</p>

<p>Logjam & MOAR Mortell, a great combo. Just great punting by Mortell on Saturday made even better by the great special team play of <span>Logan Hutton</span>. Logan may not have caught a lot of passes for Minnesota but he has been a great special team player this year (don't forget the blocked punt recovery for a TD) and a good blocker. On a side note, I learned from Twitter that Mortell has a nickname of "Pipes"; I like my nickname for him better.</p>

<p><span><b>Four Quarters</b></span></p>
<h4>1st Quarter</h4>
<p>So close then a cloud of dust. Giving up 14 points and scoring none isn't going to win a game but it really was just two big plays. Two very big plays. Yes, Gophers had to punt 3 times, but what great punts. You also gave OSU a 3 & out, something not many have and had a great interception (which I missed!).</p>
<h4>2nd Quarter</h4>
<p>"Oh my God Gophers! YESSSS! If only the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.landgrantholyland.com/">Buckeyes</a> didn't get that field goal right before half. I though OSU got helped by a very questionable (wrong) pass interference call against the Gophers but I haven't gone back to watch it again. OSU had only three possessions and they ended in a punt, and fumble, and a field goal. That's right, the Gophers out scored them 14-3!</p>
<h4>Halftime</h4>
<p>You are still in it guys. We believe in you.</p>
<p> <figure class="e-image">

<h4>3rd Quarter</h4>
<p>I missed the first half or so of this quarter getting things ready for my eldest daughter's birthday party. But hey, while they didn't score any, they only gave up 7 too. I didn't see it so it doesn't count, but man, that missed field goal ended up making a big difference. Darn interceptions.</p>
<h4>4th Quarter</h4>
<p>You guys never gave up. Scored 10 but gave up 7. Yes, you could have won but hold your heads high boys. We are proud of you. Gophers outscored and out gained the Buckeyes.</p>

<h3>Five Thoughts</h3>
<h4>1st Thought:</h4>
<p>I'm proud of you guys. You looked like you belong because you truly do...and you did it on national TV.</p>
<h4>2nd Thought:</h4>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://onlyfans.cstv.com/schools/minn/sports/m-footbl/mtt/jerry_kill_759704.html" style="font-size: 12px;">Kill</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://onlyfans.cstv.com/schools/minn/sports/m-footbl/mtt/tracy_claeys_759707.html">Claeys</a>, and <a target="_blank" href="http://onlyfans.cstv.com/schools/minn/sports/m-footbl/mtt/matt_limegrover_759711.html">Limegrover</a> took chances. To beat a team like OSU you have to do that. I had no problems with the overall calls in this game.</p>
<h4>3rd Thought:</h4>
<p>So close so often. So close to making that sack. So close to breaking that run. So close only counts in tailgating games.</p>
<h4>4th Thought:</h4>
<p>It's a good thing but people don't talk about how many players we are missing. At the start of the year the old excuse "we are a young team" didn't really count but know we have so many people hurt it almost does again. That said, I'm really going to miss some of these seniors.</p>
<h4>5th Thought:</h4>
<p>Passing. As I said above I didn't mind our play calling. Remember, we were missing two of our top wide recievers. #82 <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gophersports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/drew_wolitarsky_839143.html">Drew Wolitarsky</a> (SO) is out injured for the rest of the year (might be back for bowl game) and #4 <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gophersports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/donovahn_jones_839132.html">Donovahn Jones</a>missed the first few series for disaplinary reasons and then was too sick to play.</p>
<h4>Bonus Thought:</h4>
<p>I respect that Kill suspends key players for key games. Last week is was #5 <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gophersports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/damien_wilson_839141.html">Damien Wilson</a> (LB - SR) against Iowa, this week <span>Donovahn Jones</span>. Yes they were only partial suspensions, but still, way to stick to your guns.</p>

<p>Everyone was well aware of the challenge facing the #25 Golden Gophers today as they hosted #8 Ohio State. Both teams were coming off of dominant wins in pivotal games. We are all well aware of the 51 unanswered points that the Gophers racked up on rival Iowa. But Ohio State was bringing a whole other level of talent and explosiveness to TCF Bank Field. The Buckeyes went to Michigan State with the Big Ten East on the line and showed their explosiveness against a very good defense putting up 49 points and 568 yards on the Spartans. This game was going to be a challenge. The end result was a 31-24 Buckeye win where momentum swung a couple times but never far enough in Minnesota's favor to result in the upset.</p>
<p>Things started innocuously enough with the Gophers forcing a three-and-out on Ohio State's first possession but it quickly got ugly for Minnesota after a couple game-breaking plays allowed the Buckeyes to open up a quick 14-0 lead. Their second possession began on the OSU 5 yard line and on third and one from the 14 JT Barrett made his first impactful play of the game on a zone read where <span>Damien Wilson</span> took a half-step to his left biting on the fake hand off, from there is was an 86-yard sprint for Barrett to the end zone and a 7-0 Buckeye lead.</p>
<p>Your Gophers followed that with a three-and-out giving the ball right back to Barrett and the Buckeyes on their own 13. This time Barrett eventually connected with <span>Jalin Marshall</span> for a 57-yard touchdown as <span>Cedric Thompson</span> thought he had a pass breakup but missed. The Gophers received the ball, now down two touchdowns and proceeded to not move the ball and punted the ball back to OSU after three plays. At this point Ohio State was apparently flexing their muscle and Minnesota was struggling not only to stop the Buckeyes but also unable to move the ball offensively. Coach Kill on his offensive struggles against a very talented Ohio State defense.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"We ran the ball some and did some pretty good things, but we made some critical errors that didn't allow us to sustain drives. They got us in third and long and you don't want to be third and long against them."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Ohio State took the ball looking to put the foot on the gas and pull away from Minnesota further. On their third play of the possession JT Barrett took a deep shot down the right sideline that was overthrown and intercepted by <span>Briean Boddy-Calhoun</span>, returned 56 yards and Minnesota took the ball back on the OSU 39. Five <span>David Cobb</span> rushes later the Gophers were on the scoreboard and playing with a little confidence. This was was the first of what was to be a theme. Ohio State turns the ball over, David Cob runs a lot and the Gophers score.</p>
<p>Later in the second quarter, Ohio State is marching to an apparent touchdown when Jalin Marshall gets hit at the goalline by Briean Boddy-Calhoun, fumbles and the Gophers recover in the endzone, narrowly avoiding another two touchdown hole. With their possession beginning at the 20, Minnesota took 11 plays to go 80 yards and surprisingly tied the game up when David Cobb took a handoff on third and 15 and broke free for a 30-yard touchdown.</p>
<p>Ohio State was able to get into field goal range before halftime and took a 17-14 lead into the break. Then scored two additional touchdowns in the second half to go up 31-14 and once again appeared to be poised to roll up a three or four (or more) touchdown win on Minnesota. But then things got interesting again, this time in the fourth quarter with the Gophers trialing by three scores.</p>
<p>Minnesota was unable to move the ball and forced to punt, fortunately Marshall was having trouble and dropped the fair-catch. With a host of yellow jerseys around the Gophers recovered at the 14. Two Cobb rushes later Minnesota was in the end zone again down 31-21. The Gophers managed to stop the Buckeye's next possession, took the ball back, quickly got into field goal position after a 31-yard scramble by Leidner. With 1:23 left on the clock they decided on the quick FG and then take their chances with the onside kick. Santoso made it, bringing the gap to one score, the onside was unsuccessful and Ohio State came out in the victory formation to seal the win.</p>
<p>On the one hand this is a game that never should have been just a seven-point margin. Ohio State amassed 489 of total offense to Minnesota's 303. They averaged 7.6 yards per rush, had a handful of explosive plays and converted 9/13 on third down. With those numbers a 21-point win would not be all that surprising.</p>
<p>On the other hand Minnesota had a number of missed opportunities that could have turned this into the biggest win in Jerry Kill's career. Ryan Santoso's missed FG that bounced off the left upright would have put the Gophers in position to tie the game from the 17 yard line rather than kick a FG to get within seven. <span>Mitch Leidner's</span> pass to a wide open <span>KJ Maye</span> that was just out of reach prevented a third quarter touchdown. Blown coverage by the secondary allowed Ohio State's third touchdown to be the easiest touchdown pass of Barrett's career.</p>
<p>Depending on your perspective this game was either a couple plays away from being a blowout or a couple plays away from being a massive upset.</p>
<p>Individually I think the Gophers had a couple guys who really struggled today and a couple guys who played outstanding.</p>
<p>Unfortunately this was a game where Mitch Leidner struggled. Several badly overthrown balls, a couple of really bad decisions, missed Maye on a sure touchdown and overall finished just 7/19 passing with 2 interceptions and just 85 yards passing. A sharper Leidner may have been a huge difference maker, potentially one that changes the outcome of the game.</p>
<p>Defensively I was disappointed today with the Gopher linebackers. After having an outstanding game last week against Iowa I thought the entire unit struggled today. To be fair, this is a difficult offense with several very good skill position players to defend. One misstep or wrong read and it is very difficult to make up ground and still make a play against the Buckeyes. A number of times the Gopher linebackers were just a half-step off in their angles and the results were big gains for Ohio State.</p>
<p>Who played well? David Cobb was outstanding today, no surprise here. The senior rushed for 145 yards on 27 carries (5.4 yard average) and scored all three Gopher touchdowns. He is really good and is closing in on the Gopher's single-season rushing record with two games to play. On the other side, Briean Boddy-Calhoun had a great game defensively with an interception, a forced fumble and four tackles. Both of his turnovers were imperative to keeping Minnesota in the game.</p>
<p>In the end it was clear that Ohio State is a really good football team. The Gophers battled and came up short against one of the nation's best teams. Moral victory? No, we don't need them anymore. A missed opportunity, a chance to steal a win from an Ohio State team that made enough mistakes to give us that chance. We came up short and move on to a couple of pivotal Big Ten West road games.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"We have a tough task. We knew that at the beginning. We can't have a hangover and we've got to go back to work and I know these kids will. They fought their tail off today against a very good football team, a team that's top eight in the country, and I'm sure that if they win out they're going to be in great shape. However, if we do our job, we'll play them again."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>A trip to Nebraska is up next. The Gophers do control their own destiny but a couple of challenging road games is a tough gauntlet to run.</p>

<p>Minnesota gave #8 Ohio State a scare for a while, but in the end the talent and execution of Ohio State was too much.</p> <p>And breathe...</p>
<p>If we're being honest with ourselves this game went about the way we all expected. It wasn't the outcome we were hoping for, but overall the Gophers acquitted themselves well. They forced two turnovers and recovered an unforced third. On all three subsequent drives they scored touchdowns thanks to <span>David Cobb</span>. They never game up, even down 17. In fact, they were an onside kick recovery away from making me erase all of this and start over. They made this an enjoyable game to watch overall. In the end, I feel pretty good about what we saw.</p>
<h4>Quick Thoughts</h4>
<p>- David Cobb did Senior Day right. 3 rushing touchdowns? Over 5 yards per carry? Almost 150 yards? All against the best team in the Big Ten? That's a great performance.</p>
<p>- <span>Mitch Leidner</span> had his moments, but overall he struggled badly passing the ball. He completed well under 50% of his passes, threw two picks, and had no touchdowns. I need to rewatch the game a bit to see how much of it was him and how much was due to those around him, but in the end this was a "bad Mitch" game. And like I said in the preview, the Gophers can't overcome that. On the other hand, he was pretty successful with his legs so it wasn't all bad.</p>
<p>- The Gophers defense was hit or miss. They made some excellent plays and had some terrible breakdowns that lead to 3 of Ohio State's touchdowns. Minnesota has prided themselves on not giving up big plays and that killed the defense today.</p>
<p>- The return teams were outstanding, with great kick and punt returns being the norm all day. They even broke out some trickery on the first play of the 3rd quarter, executing a throwback on the return that was just a yard or two away from being a touchdown for <span>Jalen Myrick</span>.</p>
<p>- That was a really good field goal attempt in the 3rd quarter by Ryan Santoso. Tons of leg (would have been good from nearly 60), played the wind well, and it would have been good if a last second gust hadn't caused it to hit the post. He also hit the big 34 yard field goal late in the 4th to bring the Gophers within 7 with just over 1 minute to play.</p>
<p>- <span>J.T. Barrett</span> is a stud. Anyone who was saying "ooooh Braxton will be gone soon!" over the summer can eat their words. The dude is a beast.</p>
<p>- The difference in talent and speed was noticeable from the get-go. Especially on the first Ohio State touchdown, when Barrett outran the Gophers defensive backs who were going step for step with him at one point.</p>
<p>As I said, I think there was a lot to like as fans. It wasn't a great performance in all 3 phases, but the Gophers gave us hope right up until the end, never gave up, and made Ohio State work for this victory. I don't know about you, but that's a game I can live with.</p>

<p>The Gophers got right back in this.</p> <p>WHOOOOOO BOY.</p>
<p>This game did not start out well for Minnesota. The offense wasn't getting going, the defense gave up two touchdowns on two big plays (including the longest play anyone had allowed OSU to have all season on the <span>J.T. Barrett</span> touchdown run)...it looked like it could be a blowout.</p>
<p>And then...<span>Briean Boddy-Calhoun</span>!</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/IzBEw45A5Wo?list=UUwFBri3AWCAFvT0YlpI8YGQ" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe></p>
<p>That INT led to a <span>David Cobb</span> touchdown. BBC would go on to force a fumble just as Ohio State's Elliott Ezekiel was about to score their 3rd touchdown and the Gophers recovered in the end zone for a touchback. David Cobb put up another touchdown and it was suddenly 14-14.</p>
<p>Ohio State got a field goal on their last drive (following a questionable PI call) and that's where we stand at the half, 17-14 Ohio State. The Gophers get the ball to start the 2nd half so let's get excited!</p>
<h3>SKI-U-MAH!</h3>
