I don't feel like filtering through 390+ posts in the in-game thread, so let's move the discussion to here.
Didn't hear the attendance announced. Anyone know?
Were 1-0.
The student section was full to the top until they picked that $2000 winner in the middle of the 4th quarter. Even after that it was still full in lower deck until the end of the game. Thank you students who were at the game.
OLine needs a lot of work.
Expected the offense to struggle tis f8rst game. Wish there was more motion and play action. Coach Fleck and University of Minesota athletics need to realize this is the University of Minnesota not the University of PJ or promote Fleck. Not everything has to be about Fleck or his ad museum sayings and stupid row the the boat. Believe it not Coach Minnesota does have college football fans that do not need re_ education camp on your philosophy or culture crap. The name on the jerseys are Minneotat, not the fighting PM Flecks. You don't have to ram down our 5heoats every saying or try and create traditii9ns out of thin error. Goody rowing went over like a wet fart. None of that stuff matters if they win and most will not care about any of that, but w3 don't need a stupid speech that you cannot hear every game or blaring every play. This game revolved to much Round Fleck talking his ideas about gam3 day down our throats. The culture will create itself, we don't need to have stupid unfamiliar cheers and obscure row the boat music. This is not Pj fricken Fleck University. The U will be here long after he is gone.
Shenault had a rough game. Especially in the first half. Of course it is just one game though.

My thoughts:
1) The defense is good enough to keep us in pretty much every game, and will become elite if Huff and Shenault step up. Four-man pass rush slightly underwhelming, but overall the DL and LB groups are the backbone of this team.
2) The offensive line is a disaster and will need to improve drastically if we want to win more than 3-4 games in the Big Ten.
3) Neither QB "won" the job in my opinion. I would roll with both in the first half next week and tentatively plan on shifting towards 100% Rhoda in the second half unless Croft steps up.

Where is your tailgate for the MTSU game? Seems like a good time.

It hard to complain about the defense as they only gave up 7 points and were never really threatened, but I was hoping for more. They didn't seem to make Buffalo uncomfortable. Huff's interception was the only turnover and we didn't seem to have many big plays or get pressure on their QB.
I disagree that neither QB won the job. We have to have a QB that can hand off, pass, and run. Rhoda is only willing to do two of three.
I only saw the second half but, yes, the defense was about as good as one could hope for in the second half.
Yes, offensive line was a real problem and that is all the more reason why we need a QB who can run.
Finally got back...
Fiance started Pharmacy School at the U this month, so we have four more years of cheap student tickets to look forward to. My perspective from the student section:
The excitement was at its peak right before the game started. Which says a lot about the content of the game I guess. It jumped again for the Johnson TD. But then never really amped up after that. Good chunk of students left at half time. Overall, I would say the energy was like 6/10 the majority of the time.
As for the game, it was pretty boring. Johnson was the highlight. Both QBs need work. I really liked how Shenault turned things around in the 2nd half. I couldn't believe he was still in after all the mistakes. But apparently it's a part of Fleck's process. Still looking forward to the rest of the season.
