Post Minnesota Game Thoughts/Rest of the season

[Jack Burton]

Copy TO's scheme...Not Chips.  This is the B1G as in big time and in big players as in big boy football....

Scheme is OK imo. People s#!t all over Riley for being ice cream and sprinkles. They were right. Frost has to have some bad guys on the staff that the players are afraid of. Osborne had his henchmen to get results.

You want to set the program back another 3 years by completely retooling recruiting? The Spread can work in the Big Ten.

Yep. Why have a slow sure handed receiver that runs good routes and hs a knack for getting  open when you can have a burner that well, doesn't so any of that....Not to mention blocks great.

He reminds me of a guy named Matt Davison.

I think our offensive line has been a weak link all season long.  Don't know how you fix that mid-season but its a huge problem.

The OL is by far the biggest problem. Unfortunately, O-linemen are slow to develop, so you probably aren't going to see much improvement this season. The only consolation is that the line is young, so they might be better by the ends of their careers.

The game sucked but my family had a blast.  Loved the stadium.

We are not a good football team and it was glaring tonight.

Frost needs to go get him a Defensive Coordinator with B10 ties. Not Diaco, but someone knowledgeable about how things work in the conference

They didn't pull him for Bunch, they went to the 3's because the game was over.

Ha...they pulled him because it was over...because of him.

I think Noah was dinged up as well.  IN case Martinez is a no go in 2 weeks, theyll need him healthy.

You mean like one who played in the conference?

You don't pull a guy that needs reps and that you think will be good...for a guy that you literally were hoping was going to leave the team.

 

[3rd and long]

I’d be happy with a clean, penalty free game. 

I believe in Santa Clause too.

Your guys likely win three more games - Indiana, Purdue, and Maryland.

Congratulations on your win, and on (likely) going 8-0 to start the season. Good luck!

EDIT - but BOOOO that you're taking the chair from us. Keep it safe - we'll need it back next year.

The defense really ain't the problem. I mean they ain't great, but you can see where they're going with it. But at some point, the offense needs to do something - anything - and give the defense a reason to give a damn in a game like this. I mean the defense could've held Minnesota to less than half their point total and it wouldn't have made the slightest bit of difference in this game.

 

[Hayseed]

They ummmm...pulled Vedral for Bunch...

Vedral ended up with less than 200 yards of offense and no TDs...

This game convinced me that we don't have a great QB but that's not our biggest problem. Any kind of offensive production and we would've had a game despite a pretty pathetic defense.
Didn't we score with Vedral? Wonder why he put in Bunch?

You are correct. Frost said in post-game that we have two quarterbacks "nicked up."
