This team has so many holes in the wrong places

[hoosierdogg]

Defense eating those screens up.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Defense is having some fun!!!

[skhoosier2]

Savage is a beast. Can’t believe he’s just a freshman. 

[TheWatShot]

Stoked to watch another punt bounce and probably roll down toward our goal line. 

[LamarCheeks]

Charlie, WTF are you doing? 

Why did you fair catch on the 2-yard line!

Oy-vey.

Cig is gonna need to recalibrate for this current team. Special teams is lost at sea.  He used to go for it with confidence with Mendoza last year. Gotta be willing in that situation to go for it.   

OLine has been pretty weak, RBs are mediocre, play calling is too predictable, Hoover is never in a rhythm to make throws. 

[pumpfake]

When is the last time we even tried to return a punt?

[AZ Hoosier]

WTF, Charlie? Fair catch at the 3? Maybe let THAT one roll?

[KingPG21]

Even if Minnesota wants to go deep they don't have time to throw it deep

He’s in his own head. He had the green light at TCU. He just thinks way too much. I don’t think he fits this RPO offense. Air raid is different. 

The baffling thing is that last year Mendoza had the highest percentage of RPO snaps in the entire nation. The QB last season with the second highest percentage? Josh Hoover. I thought he would fit our offense like a glove.

[TheWatShot]

...or, watch Charlie Becker actually catch one, and fair catch right in front of the goal line. 

 

WTF

Nope, the one time Becker catches it. Gotta do something different cuz Charlie can catch but has no awareness.

It’s kinda unreal.  
 

Radicic. Lost it. Dude was money. 

O Line should be incredible against the run with basically everyone returning.  And can’t create a hole. TEs make catches but aren’t thrown to.  QB play is bogging everything down on top of it. 

[KingPG21]

Offense - D-

Special teams - F-------------------------

Defense - A +++++++++

[BtownStrength]

The IQ of our special teams unit collectively is leaving a lot to be desired

The Special Teams is worse than any Tom Allen one ever was.
