Minnesota Football: The Monday Perspective on The Great Leidner Debate

So Saturday was interesting wasn't it? Buckle up cause this week is going to be fascinating!

The offense, led by Mitch Leidner, was incredibly inept for about the first 23 minutes of the game. Then Leidner got in rhythm, contributed to a couple of key scoring drives before half and a quick-strike touchdown to open the third quarter. Then they were abysmally awful for nearly the rest of the game before looking competent for a go-ahead touchdown near the end. But that's not exactly what I'm here to talk about this morning.

What fascinated me was the vitriol and polarizing stances held by so many Gopher fans throughout the game.
