Nice punt! That was great cosideringthe wind.

Bad pass bad catch on the screen. That was a great play call.

You can't pass far into this stiff wind!

Someone needs to tell those Yetis eye rolling isn't attractive.

I think that screen would be something to run on first down they are really up in the box especially on first and second down

It's weird to enjoy watching the defense more than the offense. Takes some getting used to.

I love a great D
We are stuffing the run right now.

 

[Deeringfish]

Just when I thought CT could run.

That was a team effort Punt pins them deep, D stuffs the run, Special teams puts on a return, O punches it in. A litle more of this and Minny will lose energy

Good things happen when u actually return a punt!

 

[SmellyCat]

I love a great D too. I just get nervous usually when NU doesn't have the ball.

BTW, love watching great special teams. Good job Shuler!

Nice play calling! Michigan doesn't seem to powerful today

We could get the ball back

We could get the ball back

Just run out the clock,I think

 

[footballfan 76]

Go catch the punt

 

[Deeringfish]

That was a good push on 1st

 

[Deeringfish]

Go catch the punt

I agree

 

[Deeringfish]

Mertz should be back

 

[Deeringfish]

Pretty good half considering the wind. I'd like to know the stats

 

[footballfan 76]

Shuler catches that punt mertz don't get piled up on!! Hope he is back!

Everyone on college gameday picked Minneosta. Lets prove them wrong! Go 'Cats!

As long as that includes Corso, we're set.

If you had told me we would be up 10-0 at the half, I'd have been pretty excited. The D has really locked in and the O has shown some life. I would like to see more short passes to take pressure off the run.

Thorson's actually doing decently. Both teams have running yards in the low 60s (Jackson 44). The main difference is Thorson--8:10. We have more passing yards than rushing. But it seems, from WGN, like both defenses are keeping this pretty tight.
