Are the Golden (Shower) Gophers for real?

Listening to the game while traveling and their offense sounds potent. Over 300 yards in first half, seems their OC finds a way to get their playmakers the ball.

We'll see how the second half goes.

Really good wr and smart qb play. They look for real to me. I think their d can be had but getting pressure is key on their qb and so far penn state not getting much. Give that qb and these wr time gonna be trouble.

PSU is somewhat controlling Minny's run game but PSU's secondary is really bad at least in this game

I hate to admit this, but MN is impressing the hell out of me.

Agreed. Fleck is obviously the real deal.

Agreed. Fleck is obviously the real deal.

I met him at a coaching clinic quite a few years ago, when he was coaching WRs at Northern Illinois. It's definitely not just schtick. The guy is legit passionate about football, self-aware enough to know that he is not for everybody, and has turned into a pretty good header.

Just another guy who only needed 2-3 years to be better than Kirk. Sadly, everyone at Iowa who makes decisions hasn't noticed yet.

Lets see if the gophers win this before we give them this all this love

Was 2015 Iowa for real? We all thought so.

Would have been better for Iowa if PSU won but "that's why we play the games".

 

[BigD]

It is what it is. Easiest and FAVORABLY schedule possible with all B1G games at home. Non the less they still have to beat good teams (we will see what happens in Madison today; Win and we are pretty good. Lose and it’s just another “Meh” Kirk team).

 

[1hawkeye1]

Agreed. Fleck is obviously the real douche.

FIFY

Does that include Jeff Brohm?

We most certainly were and left it all on the table in the Big Ten Championship game for the playoffs. Iowa lost a great game and that was the end of the season for them. Rose Bowl wasn't the game they wanted it is what it is.
