So many points left off the field. Without those turnovers we are probably up 35-0. Can't make these mistakes and expect to win. Better come out and play lights out second half and look good doing it

Urban: "Quit turning the damn ball over."

I think that pretty much covers it.

 

[SloopyHangOn]

Are we all still denying the effects of this weather on this game? As mentioned, if we're going to favor the pass while they favor the run that literally makes this game the hardest it can possibly be.

Need to catch the ball with your hands and come back to the ball

Sloppy, sloppy play, and still have the lead at half. I'll take it. The Gophers are not scrubs.

The locker room isn't found to be pretty.

NOBODY."

If OSU stops giving them turnovers, this will get out of hand. Its the only reason this game isn't 24-0 or even 31-0.

'Can't turn the darn ball over.'

That's just about as nice as it's going to get in the locker room. 21-pt swing off the TOs. Protect the ball and sweep the leg in the 2nd.

Ugly.

 

[RB07OSU]

He has to use his hands at all...he tried to catch with his forearms/chest.

Good point...two drops where he let the ball get into his body.

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

Play great, play like shit. Play great, play like shit. Man if we could get rid of shit the world would be a better place.

 

[Systems_id]

Quit turning the goddamn ball and run them out of the stadium in the second half.

 

[Jagdaddy]

Ok got the lead. Now blow it out second half boys. Stop the run and dare their QB to beat you.

I thought that was going to be the gameplan to begin with.

Yeah, I believe I'd promised to stop harping on it, but I don't know why they're not mixing up the defensive front looks at all or jumping around a bit. Get these guys to false start a little and it's a big deal. Make THEM adjust.

I'm hoping that they make a few changes and come out with a more run dominated second half. Barrett has what, 170 at halftime? They should quit on the long balls cause he's not getting them today with the weather (or maybe just try 1 more) and work on the swing passes, runs, and some play action mixed in.

Ugly.

Just really f'n ugly.
