*** Official Minnesota Game Thread ***

That was so weird. A hold and a sack. That was kinda cool. Let's do more of that on defense. Seems to work better than giving up 3rd and long.

Minnesota should have went for it on 4th down. Stats are on their side the defense wouldn't stop them, after all.

2 years without holding penalty???? Did I hear that right

I think we are all stunned- but what does it mean?

That was a great coverage sack by Cam Taylor. You could see the QB was starting down #6, but Taylor played press and did not let the WR slant in.

It just seems unnatural doesn't it. Almost like seeing bigfoot or finding a unicorn

It means that Riley's plan to wine, dine, and Werther Original the officials before the game never paid dividends.

That there is something to the claims that most calls don’t go our way.

And there's the 3 and out on drive 2. Consistency. ..

And Oz spends the series on the sideline :facepalm:

Or, is it the fix is in? Seems like if your bought you can look the other way pretty easily

It feels so good when other teams screw up their drives...now I know how our opponents felt the past six games. We made so many opposing fans happy this season. That is worth a trophy in bringing happiness to others.

First holding call in two years of Big 10 play!!!!!!!  You talk to the experts and they say you can call holding on any play,  Yes there has been bad calls against Nebraska that has changed the results in some games.

 

[mwj98]

How does that even happen?? Northwestern held us all day. I didnt want to complain. But wow, just wow!!

 

[PaulCrewe]

Again PENN STATE WAS CALLED FOR HOLDING LAST YEAR.   It was declined

the stat should have said ACCEPTED holds
