The 12th 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 airs 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 do this every week in an effort to answer as many fan questions as possible.
Daniela Accioly Conde Jaros: Played really well! Proud of the team. But how about Carpenter kicking out of bounds all the time? Giving the opponent good field position. Isn't it a concern?
Coach Claeys: We are trying to put that ball down in the corner so there is a chance of that happening but there has been too many. The thing I like about him is he bounces back for us. He has put a lot of points on the board when given the opportunity.
Kenneth Tompkins: What's the key to moving the ball vs the Wisconsin defense and in the end winning the game?
Coach Claeys: We are going to have to find a way to score some points. That has been an issue for almost everybody this year. Hopefully up front we play well fundamentally and create a couple seams. We are fortunate enough to have two good backs that don't need a lot of space. We are going to have to complete some passes and either soften them up or hit them over the top. It will be a challenge but we have players good enough to get that done.
