Maybe he really is that bad of a coach after all. Maybe it was too good to be true what we were able to do in that game. This was a classic Gregg Brandon coached football game after a big win. All I can say is Tim Brewster made GB his b*tch in this game as far as I'm concerned. Minnestoa's spread O looked far more advanced than our's with their Qb running all over the place untouched most of the time. Plain and simple Minny executed their spread like they've been doing it for as long as we have. Even though GB didn't commit 5 To's , there were still some questionable play calling out there. Hardly no use of Scheidler anywhere which continues to piss me off. He's a weapon with great hands and we don't use him after what he did last week?
Sad for the fans and students. They came out in full force and all they got was this. Ugh. I wonder how many of them will show up again. Boise will likely be a disaster as it was the last time. Just hope we can escape with little to no injuries. We should be able to pull one out at Wyoming , emphasis on should.
So, you're saying our offense wasn't moving the ball? MN had a 397-389 edge in total offense and both teams had 13 first downs.
I'm sorry bro....5 TO's is what lost this game. Sure there were some questionable play calls but that didn't lose the game. BG not securing the ball lost it. We were right there at the start of the 4th...down 21-17. It was anyone's game. Those TO's KILLED us....
Agree about Jimmy Scheidler...would have loved to see him be a part of the offense again after last week.

Sorry Freak. We all know that had Brandon and the OC called something that got us THIRTEEN yards to where we had more yards than Minneapolis, we would not have turned over the ball 5 times.
Sorry my brother, but I have to disagree with you.

Both teams were very evenly matched talent and scheme-wise methinks. I think Minny clearly wanted it more than we did, and we had butterfingers. The staff made some bone-headed decisions, but they made equally brilliant decisions in the Pitt game. Consistency would be nice, but we'll see what happens when the MAC gets in gear.
National exposure is pretty much out the window for a while, so we need to focus on staying healthy over the next two games, keeping our players out of jail, and re-focusing for the MAC.
