Minnesota may have held Michigan scoreless today if not for the 2 interceptions

WTH happened? Yeah, my opinions are boring and redundant, but I usually try to be less blatant about it than that. 

If redundant posts were not allowed most of the threads would shrink by 80+%.

Minnesota QB looks terrible. Confused why they went away from the run. Michigan is not that good. 

2 bad teams. I suppose Michigan's defense is decent, but those are 2 games IU should win comfortably.

Minnesota one stop away from breaking a near 50 year losing streak to meat chicken

I realize that rating a coach by how inspirational/commanding/sharp they are in interviews is useless but Wittingham is about as exciting as a tree stump. 
I don’t think a coach needs to act like a rabid, crazed hyena (hello Tom Allen) but Wittingham is really “flat”.

Maybe he will find an offense, and turn things around, but I’d guess Michigan will be looking for a new coach after next season.

Bryce is a decent runnner. We will need to contain him and we are on the road. If we can contain him and we run the ball well (assuming we have running backs available lol) we will win.  Im not over confident given how much trouble we had with Jackson and Chiles. We shall see what we look like at Nebraska then how we play OSU.

Minnesota beat them in 2014. This would, however, be only the fourth time they've beaten them since 1980.

We really need to have our run game in tact.  I’m a bit nervous about tonight if both Bebe and Turbo can’t go (or are severely limited).

Ok, the announcer in the Bama-MSU game just pronounced Kane Wommack’s last name as W-aw-mash. As in Wabash with an m. Have I been saying it way wrong all these years because that sounds not at all close to right? 

Yeah that is…not correct.

We’re pretty good against designed QB run. Guys running around making plays like Chiles give us trouble. I’m also not convinced we’ll play against Underwood.

Most of his runs have been scrambles. He definitely does not throw the ball well.

It may just be his nature but Whittingham just doesn’t seem that engaged as a head coach. It’s like at times he doesn’t even seem to be aware of what is happening on the field!

And UM offense has exactly 1 TD in 59mins

I wonder if Minnesota wishes they'd gone for 2 when they went up 19-14 early in the fourth. 

[KingPG21]

How far up the rankins should Mississippi State climb for getting stomped? It is the SEC. 

 

Also NW and Wisconsin probably deserve some consideration for votes. They probably won't but still 

[skhoosier2]

Wow Underwood is terrible. What a really bad sequence on those last 4 downs.

Mini Soda is jugging

Gophers nearly gave Michigan another shot!

No…..:-)

So the Wittingham era starts with home losses to Western Michigan, Iowa and a road loss to Minnesota….In his first 5 games!! OUCH !
