Columbus, Ohio – While the more than 105,000 revelers slowly led by the Ohio stadium on Saturday evening, the Gophers PJ Fleck football coach gave his opinion on what happened.
During the previous 3 hours, the Fleck team endured many inconvenience that made the crowd of return so happy.
“When you are beaten in a fight, you must answer it,” said Fleck after the Gophers absorbed Haymaker after Haymaker in a 42-3 defeat against Ohio State, the best classified team in the country and the defending national champion. “And I know that our guys will do it. We have a very good football team – we really do it. It’s just an exceptional football team that we have played today.”
There will be few arguments against the exceptional nature of Buckeyes, which have abandoned 25 points combined in five games this season.
The Ohio State surpassed Minnesota 474-162 and only granted 96 yards in the last 53 minutes, 5 seconds after the opening of the gophers led to a basket.
Buckeyes have raised five games of 29 or more yards and have an average of 12.2 yards per pass. They went 7 by 10 in third tests at 1 for 11 of the gophers.
As for Fleck having a very good football team, it is something that he and his coaches have the chance to prove the rest of the season.
Gophers (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) start a four-game race leading to their second week off with this: at home against Purdue (2-3, 0-2) Saturday, at home against Nebraska (4-1, 1-1), at Iowa (3-2, 1-1) and at home against Michigan State (3-2, 0-2).
