Teddy looked much more comfortable as the Vikings quarterback yesterday. He still doesn't get much protection from the offensive line, as he was hurried, harassed, and sacked way too often yesterday. But through it all, he kept his cool and still managed to find the receivers he needed.
Especially on that last play.
I'd like to scream at the Vikings defense for letting Gino Smith get away so many times yesterday, but he is one elusive quarterback. In any other game I think the Vikings defense would have had 10 sacks playing like that, So I'll just chalk it up to, at least for one day, Gino being just that good.
13 games into the season and The Vikings are still in the hunt. Yeah, they have to win the rest of their games to be serious contenders, but stranger things have happened. I'm already looking forward to next week's game.
Speaking about strange things happening...
The Golden Gopher Football team is going to be playing on NEW YEAR'S Day in the Citrus Bowl!!!
Even with good coaches like Lou Holtz and Glenn Mason the Gophers never got that opportunity. It'll be the first time on OVER 50 years that they have the privilege of playing on January 1st. Coach Jerry Kill has brought this program a long way in a very short amount of time.
And they deserve it. Their only losses were to Ohio State, who are in the final four tournament, TCU, who just got bounced from the tournament to make room for Ohio State, and Wisconsin, who just played Ohio State for the Big Ten Championship.
AND they'll be playing Missouri, who just got beat by Alabama, the number one team in the country, in THEIR conference championship game Saturday.
Whooo!! The Gophers are playing with the big boys now. No more Outback or Outhouse Bowls for them any more. No...sir... ree. As George Jefferson used to say, "We're moving on up, to the big time!"
