Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Didn't watch the Goophs/Heels game but a few of comments on the Buckeye board about it

 "They had enough time to get the ball closer or even go for a TD but they called a few too many running plays instead of throwing the ball. They're never going to win up there until they fully embrace the forward pass. I'd rather try to score a TD or make it a chip shot FG instead of relying on any college kicker to make one from over 40 yards out."

"PJ runs a slow developing run play that results in a holding penalty to take the Gophs out of FG range.Then after re-entering FG range, he has his RB take the ball towards the hash mark his kicker tugged it from. His kicker tugs it again and misses. Kick would have been good from the near hash or center of the field."

"We are talking about PJ here. Another coach you question how good he is at X's and O's. But he inspires players with his enthusiasm. What more is needed!"

"And he sprints up the sideline between quarters. How do you turn that down??"

Did this really happen? I couldn't make it up for the whole game.

Unfortunately, it did happen exactly as the video shows.

PJ'S act is getting thin. He's got the same offense now that had Jerry Kill on the hot seat. And let's not discuss the play calling on the final series. Not taking at least one shot to the end zone is malpractice.

Sure, they'll win the next two games against a 1-AA tomato can and something called Nevada. But then Iowa comes here three weeks from now. And their defense is a country mile better than anything you saw tonight. Everyone knows that is going to be a 10-9 pissing contest. You damn well better figure out how to be the 10.

I only saw part of the Minnesota game then fell asleep but damn that sucks for them. I read the recap and they had so many chances. 

UNC's go-ahead FG came on a "drive" of negative yardage off of a Gopher fumble. 

Then when they got the ball back they went back ahead with their own FG but they had been deep in the RZ with a first and goal at the 10. A TD there most likely wins it.

Even after UNC took the 19-17 lead that would be the final with >2 minutes to go, the Gophers still had multiple chances:

A DPI and a 20 yard pass set them up 1st and 10 at the UNC 40. Two plays later they rushed all the way to the 18 (35 yard FG from there) but a holding penalty pushed them back to the 42 (59 yard FG).

They picked up a first down and had a shot from inside the 30 but missed a 47 yard FG from the 29 as time expired. 

I think we're gonna order out for tonight or make a Lou's pizza. Don't feel like going out to eat.

I had some minor surgery Wednesday, and it hurts. I hate taking pain meds, so it is what it is.

North Dakota State is no joke. #2 in FCS.

Badgers play South Dakota next week. #5 in FCS.

Can't overlook them with Bama coming in week 3.
