Wouldn’t ya figure Minnesota picked this week to piss down their leg!
Maybe they win their super bowl last week. The sign of an immature team, failing to build on a big win. Kind of makes it look a little flukey. . .Wouldn’t ya figure Minnesota picked this week to piss down their leg!
Seemed like sloppy game management by Minny today. Things are different on the big stage when you’re supposed to perform.
I can’t help but laugh though. Could you imagine the absolute meltdown on this board if Franklin ran out on the field receiving a foul and negating a goal to go first down????? Lolololololololololol. Fleck looked like dementia patient as the refs had to escort him off the field. “How’d you find your way out here, lil fella? We need to get you back to your home.”

One of the announcers said that Minnesota's dream was done. Then one of the post game commentators said that this loss knocked Minnesota out of the playoffs because of their schedule.
These guys make enough money on their easy gigs that they should do their homework. Why wouldn't Minnesota make the playoffs with an 11-1 record and wins over Penn state, Wisconsin, and Ohio State? I don't think it will happen but IMO those were both very uneducated comments.

He did not negate anything. It was a dead ball penalty AFTER 4th down. The TO on downs would NOT have been negated.
Our DTs seem to engage an OL much more often than trying to shoot a gap.
We don't seem to overload to one side either on our blitz's.
Also, we don't play tight coverage on a lot of our blitz's.
You make it sound like a dozen teams finish undefeated every season and it's just our Franklin-led Lions who continually screw up.
Fleck was one touchdown and a 32-31 loss away last week from the treatment he got today. He's a good coach. He was a red zone INT better than us last week.
His mistake this week was thinking that his QB and WRs were going to duplicate last weeks game. Iowa wasn't going to allow that without absolute perfection. They are designed that way. The Minnesota defense giving up 3 TDs to start the game panicked them. They should have kept running the ball.
This is just silly.
Penn State came back after a loss last week and beat a good team today.
And are currently 9-1.
Scoreboard.
As long as you weren't one of the "Indiana is going to be a tough game" posters, sure. Mess? We are who we are. Everybody had this pegged as a 3-5 loss team. Solid coaching got us by that.
I disagree on the talent thing. We have some kids who were overrated. Our 5* kids are irrelevant for the most part.
You catch teams when you catch em. To argue otherwise is to manipulate whatever argument you desire. Iowa is Iowa. Michigan is Michigan. Sparty is Sparty.
Everybody loves Galt for his S&C, but our players don't seem stronger than anybody. We might have a touch more speed, but we don't seem to scheme for it very well. I don't care that he got Clifford's 40 time below Trace's. Nor that Apke ran so well. Build us a disruptive DT. An OT that can step out and hold the rush.
He got called out on his credentials and he's responded to the challenge, don't be mad that he's objectively more credible than you or the rest of the Franklin fluff crew
They still should have beaten Minne****ingsota.
Think your points are valid though. Do not understand why YGM has been so average this year, and we are missing high end difference makers outside of Hamler, Friermuth and Parsons
YGM is going to be hard to define. Is he still out of shape after missing summer camp? Is he going through the motions knowing he's going pro? Between our rotations, and his safety play, he's not at risk. Sit out the bowl, train for the combine, he'll get drafted fairly high.
Clifford or Rahne has lost all faith in our X WRs too. We questioned the lack of use prior, but I think the drops last week sealed it.
The preservation of the two Freshman WRs redshirts along with 5 in the current class can be interpreted in many ways...
