Morgan has as many TDs as incompletions. Too bad he sucks can't wait to have a real QB.
Waiting for him to post that MSU is a cupcake. Probably Tanner’s best game as a Gopher. He was outstanding today. Loved the offensive game plan today. They obviously didn’t expect us to throw as much as we did early and Tanner made them pay. Great road win! ?
Big Ten road wins are to be celebrated (no matter the opponent) but Big Ten road DOMINATIONS are completely different. This is the type of stuff people do at our stadium not vice versa! I don't know what will happen going forward but this team does not seem to let anything phase them at all. Their confidence factor is a friggin 10.
And he ran for 2 or 3 first downs. And how many different receivers caught balls today? 10, I think. Impressive performance by our worst offensive player! ?

MN got completely hosed early on a hands to the face call which cost a first down. Many previous Gopher teams probably would have folded there. This team shrugs its shoulders and gets a 1st down on the next play (or two?) and (I think) scores later on the drive.

@handyman Seems he likes what he sees in this program. It's hard not to like this team's on and off the field attitude.
I guess so. I just remember a lot of fans lamenting he never wore Gopher gear or seemed to publicly talk about being a Gopher and now seems to make a point of it. He and Fleck must have a pretty decent relationship.
Orion may be correct that maybe PJ reaches out to the alumni more that the previous coaches. I just don't see Tony as someone who is a front runner and it is nice to have a high profile guy pushing the program. This goes for all Gopher sports.
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

17 writers still didn’t have the Gophers in their rankings. Many from the midwest greater Chicago through Michigan. Still seems to be a bias against the B1G west even when they beat the east.

@jwg It will work itself out in the end. Just keep winning and we can't be ignored.
Yep. No one is really going to give us a ton of respect until we actually win the West. We've been here before and need to keep the foot on the pedal this season.
The real screw job will be if we run the table in the West and lose to an undefeated OSU in the championship game. If Michigan's only lose is to OSU and they come it at #5-6 in the playoff rankings who goes to the Rose Bowl?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. In this unlikely tie scenario, I believe the Gophers go to the Rose bowl since Michigan had played in it more recently. That said, I don't know with the playoffs system how they handle the Rose Bowl game.

The Big Ten champion goes to the Rose Bowl. If that team gets selected as one of the four teams to play for the championship the Rose bowl then gets first choice for the replacement. A decision between a one loss Michigan team and a one lose Minnesota team will not go our way given how weak the West division is this year.

I looked it up.
"Should a team from the Big Ten or Pac-12 be selected to play in the College Football Playoff, the Tournament of Roses will traditionally select the next-highest CFP-ranked team from that conference."
