PrintMinnesota Golden Gophers at Iowa Hawkeyes, Nov 21, 2009 11:02 AM CST
Last home game of the season. Last game of the regular season. Did you get your sleep? Hope you got your sleep.
Quick prediction: we'll be pretty surprised if Minnesota puts up more than 13 points. This is not an offense that matches up well with Iowa's defense. Another shutout may not be in the cards--Bernstine's injured, so who's going to throw the blocker into the punt returner?--but a Eric Decker-less Adam Weber shouldn't be able to do to Iowa what he did to Michigan State. Theoretically.
As for Iowa, well, who knows? The ideal offense has existed mainly as a theory, what with Rafael Eubanks and Brett Morse being literally the only players to start every game of the season.on offense. James Vandenberg was awful against Northwestern, good with a week of preparation against Ohio State, and a total wild card against Minnesota. We don't know what his consistency's like yet. It bodes well that he performed admirably in the Shoe, but that's just one game; Minnesota's still going to be only his second start, and we don't yet know how he'll respond if the Goofs are up by 10-14 early in the game and the crowd gets restless. We don't expect that, but, y'know... weirder things have happened.
Assuming disaster doesn't strike, though, Iowa ought to be able to score about 20-30 points on Minnesota's oft-shredded defense. Minnesota can push that number down by putting their corners and outside linebackers in outside techniques and funneling the receivers to the middle of the field--which is where Vandenberg struggles the most. Fortunately, Minnesota's coach is Tim Brewster, and Tim Brewster is a terrible, terrible coach.
So we're calling it 27-13 Iowa. Probably a few drives dying in the red zone, since these offenses aren't so great. But Iowa should be able to move the ball with a lot more ease than Minnesota.
Oh, we almost forgot. Battle music? Battle music, motherfuckers:
Okay, as battle music goes, you literally cannot do much worse (absolute nadir: either "Muskrat Love" or "Party in the USA"), but the message is clear: run over and through these motherfuckers long after the novelty wears off. Do it until everyone's uncomfortable, and then do it twice as long.
Yes, we're totally preaching to the choir at this point when it comes to the rules, but just in case there are any new kids in the romper room: no slurs, no personal insults, and don't be retarded. You're all already good at that. I know. Just feels better when it doesn't go unsaid. Play nice, and play hard. Let's do this.

The D-line needs to create complete havoc and we need to get back to creating turnovers, and not committing them. Would love to see the team end on a very high note here.

But not in a physical sense. That would be wrong. But in a spiritual “oh my God, I can’t believe we lost. I must question the existence of God and everything in the world” sense.

One more Great Moment in Gopher Football
1986 Iowa @ Minnesota
The Hawks rally from a 17-0 halftime deficit to tie the game at 27. With just a few seconds left in the game, Rob Houghtlin steps up for a 51 yard field goal aaaannd..It’s NO GOOD!
WAIT, WAIT! There’s a penalty.. on the Gophers..15 yards.
So, with one second on the clock, Houghtlin nails the 37 yarder FTW!
the students crowd down low
It’s still a sellout and a crowded stadium
Alright you Rodent Motherfuckers!

Murray kicked it,
then one of the Minnesota guys forcefully touched it the ball, causing it to reverse course. Standard stuff, really.

Offense
I’ll be disappointed if our offense doesn’t show some marked improvement during the bowl game. I was confident that in our last game at home, on the heels of playing a tough defense in OSU, we’d actually score some points.

Minnesota's passing in the first half:
5/15, 64 yd, 0 TD, 1 INT
I like it when they through.

Well...not scintillating but
that touchdown kind of frees up the defense to play really aggressive the rest of the way

Someone should tell KOK that you are allowed to throw to more than one receiver in any given half.

Pregame: “Ok, WSR. Minnesota’s going to only be down 9 at halftime, but you’re going to be pissed at it. Go ahead and try to figure it out.”
Maybe there is something to that whole “Big Ten not that good” thing.
Everyone fails. The successful learn from their failures. I just wish we'd quit giving ourselves so many learning opportunities.

At this point he wasn’t even considered last year.

If I told you we would end the season with these guys in the starting line-up:
Vandenberg – QB
Reiff – OL
Wegher – RB
All freshmen playing huge roles. It’s not ideal.

He's a rookie, and was playing behind two solid vets.
He’ll get his time.
by The Mexican't on Nov 21, 2009 12:32 PM CST up reply actions
He was getting good looks after Washington went down
then he coughed up a fumble that got taken back for a TD, and that set him back a ways
Nothing good ever had "State" in its name.
Jets weren't really looking for a RB
But he was available and was cheep. Works out well, lots less pressure to save a team. Leave that to the first round draft choice.

Yeah I know
But I live in Chicago, and I saw the Thomas Jones experience. Distinctly unimpressed. The kind of runner who will get you three yards when you need three. Of course, if you need five yards, he’ll get you three. SG seemed like the perfect back for the “young QB, good D” system. SG seems like one of those backs who won’t be terribly impressive unless you give him 20 carries a game.

Rumors...Rumors..
I have a friend who works at U of I hospitals with a townie (he presumably knows a coach on the staff) who said that the rb situation for next year will be 1) Hampton 2) Arob 3) Brinson. Wegher will be moved to safety. Coaches don’t like his inability to break tackles and don’t want to waste his ball skills/speed on the bench. I wouldn’t usually pass this info on but the townie has proven accurate in the past.

Sounds good
he doesn’t see the field as well as ARob, doesn’t seem to cut back, ever.
