Week 9 v Northwestern: Game Notes, Depth Chart, Etc

[Hotcarl]

I can't completely agree with that. Minnesota had nothing to do with the below gifts we handed them or unfortunate circumstances of the game.

1.) Ravioli missing Dane Key for 2 open touchdown's that cost us 10pts.
2.) A bullshit targeting penalty that cost us our LT and moved us out of the red zone.
3.) Our best olineman & linebacker getting injured early in the game and not returning.
4.) Our OC going brain dead and only running the ball 3 times on non-first down plays. 3!!! We were also extremely effective running the ball on 1st down which makes it even more perplexing.
5.) Hunter slipping as he was cutting up field towards the end of the 1st half when it looked like he might house it. Hunter also dropping a wide open deep ball that was actually put right on him.
6.) A blatant missed hold on the long WR screen pass for Minnesota that essentially put the game away and a very questionable holding penalty on Jones on 4th down to extend a scoring drive.

We played absolutely awful but that game broke for Minnesota at every turn and we did nothing to help ourselves.

This exact mentality is why Minnesota has beat us 6 straight. We never learn
