Double OT With Coach Claeys After Rutgers
10/24/2016 12:00:00 AM | Football
The eighth episode of Sunday Night Overtime with Coach Claeys aired on Facebook Live last night at 7 p.m. This weekly, fast-moving and interactive show will air every Sunday on Facebook at 7 p.m. during the season and replaces the previous weekly coaches television show. Fans do not need a Facebook account to watch the show. If you miss a live episode, you can go back to our Facebook page and watch it or visit GopherSports.com on Monday to watch it.
We went to double overtime with Tracy Claeys after last night's show and asked him some more fan questions that did not make it on during the show. We wil be doing this every week in an effort to answer as many fan questions as possible.
Robert Barney: The penalty on Jack Lynn, what are your feelings on that?
Coach Claeys: I agree with the rule. The thing I do not like about it is that I do not think all the kinks and situations have been worked out. But yet we are throwing kids out of games. I do think there are some that are very obvious and need to be thrown out, but they need to come up with some type of category for ones that are incidental and ones that you are just not going to eliminate in the game of football. I think Jack's would fall into that category. There was nothing intentional about it. Hopefully as we go along we get that worked out because I don't think it is always fair to throw kids out.
Mad Sendek: What was the biggest take away from this game that you want your players to remember during their next game?
Coach Claeys: You have to keep playing hard because nobody is going to give in. We also need to get out of the gate like that. It is important to get out front, and we have struggled to get going in the first quarter. Against Rutgers, we did get going and had some success, but now we have to learn that when we get going we cannot let up.
