That’s a good number, but the Winston comparison seems a tad much. The Minnesota offense has been pretty awesome, but he’s more cog than top of the spear.

it’s also interesting to assign context to PSU. On one hand, Gophers led by two scores for 28 of the final 37 minutes, on the other with 1:44 left in a 5-pint game, PSU had 1st and goal on the 11. It was somehow close but not close.

I'm not trying to compare him to Winston...lol.  I'm just pointing out that it's another aspect of this Minnesota team that is being overlooked by a lot of people.  Without being a super flashy QB, he's putting up some pretty ridiculous numbers.  Box score analysts (medinabuckeye) won't notice it....but he's only behind Jalen Hurts, Tua Tagovailoa, and Joe Burrow in passing efficiency this year.

Well, I've lost track which is no loss.  Things will sort out as the weekends pass.

I'm just trying to enjoy* our last few weeks of college football, it's not going to be around much longer.


*When I say "enjoy" I'm talking about watching some of YOUR teams that actually play good football, not my own which is pretty miserable to watch.  Just figured I'd clear that up before one of you yahoos decided to make a snide comment about my pitiful Longhorns.  I'm looking at YOU, Mr. N!

Well you should be looking at CWS/MDT because at least they have scoreboard on the Horns and nice balmy above 35 deg weather.But I am impressed you think I've graduated from idgit to yahoo

"We" do tend to "whine" in a way when the season ends.  Even the partial hiatus after the CGs seems like a desert of sporting events of note.  Then "we" find ourselves watching the East Idaho State Potatoes playing the Northern Maine Lobsters in the Pohlan Weedeater Northwestern Mutual Life Bowl in, of all places, Stillwater, OK.

I like the Spuds in this situation and think they will mash Northern Maine.The Lobsters are in a pinch with their QB situation and if they get behind can't see them clawing back.That offense has gone to pot and I'd be steamed if i was one of their fans

But I think the starch has gone out of the EIS offense of late, and they could well get skinned in this one.  Both teams like to be buttered up with accolades.

Finally- this thread is sucking less.  

Badge was getting pretty fried over it and at least once threatened to pinch this thread.

In just about any year other than this...Minnesota would be very happy with the season that Texas is having.  Good shot for 9-3 and a good bowl game?  We'd call that a success. 

I know that expectations can tar and feather actual outcomes....but that's no reason to ditch on a good season otherwise.

And *last few weekends* of college football!!?!?!  Nonsense.  I know some people get upset with how many bowl games there are....but not me.  I love college football and if they want to play, I'll probably watch it.

Since both of their teams were lucky to scrape out a win against this frighteningly miserable Texas team, they probably shouldn't point out anything about our suckitude-- it reflects pretty poorly on their own teams.

SunDevilFroggy, on the other hand, can really rub it in if he wants.

Sucking sucks.

I understand the sentiment but I'd be pretty shocked if Texas went 9-3 this year.  I think losses are likely in Ames this weekend, and in Waco next weekend.  We should be able to beat Tech at home on T+1 though.  I'll be at that game.

Gophs are having a great season, enjoy it, and don't worry about the postseason.  The whole point is to watch the games themselves and be entertained by the on-field action.  You're getting plenty of that this season.

Texas, on the other hand, is a real beating to watch this season.  Horrible defense and even worse special teams.  There are Texas teams with similar records I've enjoyed watching, but this team really just plays bad football most of the time.  Ah well, fingers crossed for better fortunes next year.
