Great game last night

horrible injury to Mo  and is likely out for the season

Refs did not lose the game for the gophers but it is shocking how inconsistent they are

having as much talent as OSU has at every position is a great level to be at

The gophers had to play a perfect game and get some breaks and they just didn't play perfectly.  they played well but not perfect

biggest turning point was the strip fumble recovery for the TD  that took a lot out of the guys

OSU is a very talented team and will be a tough team to beat.  QB will get better and the defense will get better  

good luck the rest of the season

Unranked VA Tech is up 14-0 on #10 UNC, nearly halftime.

so, UNC is highly ranked because they brought back "perhaps" the top NFL QB prospect and all 5 starters on the O-line

so far, the O-line and the QB aren't performing as expected

QBs don't have as much fun without all their weapons back.

Was listening to a preview and they mentioned the five linemen "back." I feel like "back" is always overrated to a degree. 

That said, Howell is pretty good, but he didn't play that way.

Northwestern is REALLY in trouble. 

Ole Whatshisnuts really has Fitzgerald's number.

I'm pretty sure we didn't have a RB score a rushing TD last year.  Kenneth Walker has 2 already

11 games since a RB scored a rushing TD.  Got 3 from QBs in the meantime but have to go back to game 9 of 2019, when Eli Collins had two in the first half against Illinois

The fact that Northwestern doesn't have permanent lights is an embarrassment.  One of their reporters this week said they are the only P5 school without them.  The lighting is awful.
