Minnesota Football: Halftime thoughts of Gophers and Michigan battle for Little Brown Jug

Related Topics: Michigan, Minnesota

A fantastic opening weekend game in prime time. The Gophers hosting Michigan, a long-time rival with the Little Brown Jug on the line. But the first half has been all Michigan.

17-35 at half time, here are my prevailing thoughts.

  • That was the longest 1st quarter ever.
  • Sloppy start for both teams in multiple phases. Missed tackles, penalties (mostly Michigan), blocked punt, badly missed blocks, strip sack touchdown, missed field goal and overall a sloppy start for both teams.
  • Michigan was less sloppy.
  • Special teams has been brutal today.
