Mosely having a bad punt return game. Why in the world was he trying to field that punt inside his own 10??

In good news (if you could consider it that), we should be winning right now if not for complete ridiculousness. Yay us?

Well, at least we have zero penalties so far. Of course, everyone looks like they're playing clean compared to Minnesota.

Mosley having a HORRIBLE game. He was the one who got caught up in traffic on that 35 yard gain.

WTH happened to our defense? This is Minnesota for crying out loud.

I won't argue that we are playing great, but to be fair; two of the touchdowns were after turnovers with really short fields. Minnesota only has one long TD drive.

Gabe Megginson, a redshirt freshman, was named a starter at offensive guard but inconsistent line play has brought about some changes and last Saturday at Michigan, Connor Brennan, a senior, got the nod ahead of Megginson.

“Connor played pretty well,” Smith said. “It’s about consistent play.”

Congrats to Zach Grant on that TD!

I'm not saying George is better than Lunt, but I'm glad he is showing some ability against a comparable team in the B1G West. He isn't awesome, but he may be a serviceable backup for awhile and potentially grow to be a starter if continues to improve.

Just saw a replay from W Lafayette. Could hear Mowens screeching in the background. Glad we have who we have

Going to need another great drive from the offense, and at some point a takeaway from the defense....looking unlikely

Yup, we will most likely lose. The rebuild is real and I am looking forward to the playmakers Lovie and Co will be able to bring in this year and next.

It's tough to win when your WR corps is depleted (Dudek, Turner and Theiman) you are playing your 3rd string QB and now your running backs are starting to limp. (Vaughn is out and Foster was limping after his last kick return.)

Let's see the direction of these two programs when we play Minny in 2019.

Looks like JGJ can throw a little

He isn't getting much protection, & our receivers leave a lot to be desired. He has a chance to be pretty good. I guess we started 6 freshmen on defense today. Build for the future is this lost season.
