in the red zone. Ball on 3 and they get pushed backwards to settle for a FG?. This is looking more and more like a win
Seriously bad football by the Gophers.

Who say Denard is the reason we win so many of the games in the last few years... Here's your reality check. Just think how good Gardner would be in HIS third year of starting. You're telling me that we wouldn't have beaten notre Dame in that game? This is why as much as i love Denard and wish he was just another position, he is not and has not been our best answer at QB for the past few years. But oh well, not looking back anymore.

I was soooo gonna post this, as well as add that people are going bonkers about Borges. Well, with the Minn caveat, I am impressed and hope this is taken a hard look at in the upcoming weeks.

You're basing this off of one game that Gardner has started, against an improved but still a so-so Minnesota team, versus all of Denard's prior game experience and everything that he has accomplished.



No. Denard is better. I will say, though, that I think Gardner has the potential to be a much better thrower than Denard.

Wow DG is playing QB like a man. Throwing darts, running, and getting rid of it when needed. Our receivers are actually a part of the offense.
