Minnesota / Post-season thoughts

[JeremyCuse]

Allen:

94 rushing
60 receiving.

I'm pleased with his performance.

Allen and Orande (assuming no portal) form a nice 1-2 punch next year. Really need another WR out of the portal and probably 2 TE's but there is something to work with.

Why didnt they show a replay of the game ending play... what horrible coverage. Didnt show penalty... and they took multiple minutes to show what the challenge was

 

[HtownOrange]

LQA is a strong positive.

The D, missing so many starters may be good, again.

Beck seems to be more adaptable in play calling once the game starts. I don't agree with all of his calls but he was opportunistic and played to our strengths and Minny's weaknesses.

Shrader looked like he is still having issues.

The field was very bad.

We should have won this game, but the scoreboard says otherwise.

 

[JustPherU]

Lack of deep threat at WR absolutely killed us.

That and iffy OL pass blocking led to the pivotal play.

Lack of QB that can throw to a deep receiver didn’t help either

 

[Cusetown23]

If you rewind it, Clark was never on the screen at any point.

He was. He pulled down the guy he blocked so something must have happened after he left screen

 

[SWC75]

We didn't lose for any of the reasons we were supposed to lose.

We found other ways.

PL20SED with his performance!

 

[tbonezone]

like shredder but...we lose way more than we gain. 2 steps back i predict .
.

So on first Minn TD at least one Minn player was taunting 3 SU players, right in their faces. But they call that at the end of the game. Ridiculous

They were taunting our guys after every special teams play at our sideline. #55 Sori-Mariano should have been ejected in 2nd quarter when he targeted as the 3rd man in on a tackle (Pena or Cooper?). But we lost the game because of inability to tackle and lack of big plays.

Field was atrocious. Yankees should be embarrassed.

Don't forget we have added some oline transfers which will be big. Half of GS problems are from a porous oline.

Fitting way to end the year. Get a stop but get a unsportsmanlike penalty to ice game.
The #1 thing that needs to finally be addressed next year is the stupid false start, holding, illegal procedure, and unsportsmanlike penalties . Especially the offensive ones that cripple drives. No other team has as many as us.

Also, nice to see all FSU future draft picks didn’t opt out of there game. Culture

 

[Lukeyloo]

Still need a 2nd WR to step up

Easy to forget because he went out so early in the season, but Isaiah Jones was likely that 2nd WR

2 false starts today? Better than our season average. Hopefully that is Becks influence.

I agree with you but they have been a problem since year 1 under Dino. I can't see how they will suddenly be cleared up going into year 8. Its a hallmark of his teams.

 

[UpstateSM]

This is why I don't like how football has turned into a showboating sport. Every player after every play on defense has to do some stupid flex. Let your game do the talking, simple.

Exception, far from the rule. And god forbid anything happens to either of them and you will never see it happen again.

 

[hungrychuck]

That is also true.

But we desperately need more speed at WR

Lack of QB that can throw to a deep receiver didn’t help either

 

[SU91]

477 yards to 213. We lose. I don’t know what to say. Minnesota is not an impressive team. Disappointing.

If they were going to flag anyone for flexing, it would have been Caleb. The refs wanted to go home rather than see a possible stop on fourth.

 

[kmart128]

We legits outplayed them offensively and defensively. We dominated every stat and we still found a way to lose.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Cooper was great today. He went through a stretch where he dropped a few, but was super today.

 

[SUDadx2]

What did Clark do to warrant the flag?

Pushed a Minn OL in the back of the head, away from the ball. Likely a retaliatory move, but no bueno.

 

[SUalldway]

GS was running for his life from the UM D line too many time, including one 3rd and long when they only rushed 3

 

[Orangeman]

This is nothing (the 15 yard penalty) than some unexplained Referee bias.

Minn was acting up all over the place like every other team, nothing

Throwing a flag there is absolute nonsense and says that referee should not be doing this
