Minnesota 21, New Mexico St 28

What a disastrous day for Gopher football, and I'm not even talking about losing 28-21 to a team as piss poor as New Mexico St.  Minnesota Head Coach Jerry Kill suffered a seizure on the field with 20 seconds left in the game and had to be taken off the field in an ambulance.  It was just a surreal site to see.  I noticed that he seemed to be getting more and more flush as the game went along but I just attributed that to the weather and the fact that they were losing.   Anyways, it sounds like he does have a history of seizures and should be fine, I just hope it's not a sight that I will need to see again.  

Observations:
-Except for a couple early interceptions, I did see some positives in the play of MarQueis Gray, he threw the ball much better as game went along and his running ability does give them an added dimension.  Max Shortell did get some playing time too but he wasn't nearly as impressive as he was last week.
-The pass defense was again incredibly porous, they made Andrew Manley look like an All-American.  I can't even imagine how Big Ten teams will carve up that defense. 
-The pass rush was again non-existent. 2 games, no sacks. 
-Where's the rushing game?  The RB's combined for 36 yards on 16 carries (that's a whopping 2.25 yards per carry), they need to do better than that.   I'll put it more on the OL than the RB's too, there just weren't many running lanes open most of the game.   
-DaJon McKnight was easily the best player in a Gopher uniform today (9 catches for 146 yards, 1 TD). 
-The silence of the stadium while Kill was down on the field was really eerie.   
-The Gophers are now 0-2, it could be a long season, they really need to tighten up that defense if they hope to find a win or two this year.  
-Next up is Miami (Ohio) on 09/17 @ TCF Stadium in Minneapolis.
