    249 yards rushing, 10:20 3rd quarter. Gophers 20-14. So much for Bama's tough D.

    Minnesota's running attack isn't exactly chopped liver, you know. They had *359* against Iowa.

    The Gophers are #6 in the country in rushing offense and avg. nearly 260 per game. That's 13 spots higher than LSU, by the way.

    Wow, I know he was 3rd string and all, but that Pennington kid, well, stinks.

    The Golden Gophers do have 2 of the best running back tandems in the nation--2nd only to Auburn.

    I like their head coach too.

    Pennington could be doing better if Bama had a better offensive cordinator and if he worked on his throwing ability but he'll never be up to par to be as good as Brodie is!

    It's not Pennington as much as it was the offensive line. Alabama ws horrid.

    Bama was oh-for-eleven on 3rd down conversions.
    Bama was oh-for-two on 4th down conversions.

    They suck.

    Have to agree Bama's OL and DL got handled today. Sanctions are starting to be felt in Bama land.

    SPENSUH pennington cannot handle the pressure. he completed everything til it was the late downs. he's not a winning qb obviously.if brodie is healthy, they cruise.
