Love seeing that Drake(or Harbaugh/Fleck) learned about the value of those check downs from Max. He definitely has better arm talent to stretch the ball down field, but if he can sustain drives with the check downs like Max did I like their chances to be even better on offense this season

I actually really love this move. MSM always knew the defense as well as anybody in the room. He didn’t have the physical tools or speed to play at the next level but he had the mind and intelligence of an NFL linebacker no doubt

I said in the assistant salary pool thread that I expected Collin’s to get a raise at some point soon, but this was a lot quicker than I expected. Sounds like he is very well liked in the building though, and everybody that talks about him seems to have only glowing reviews. Promotion to DC...

Agreed he definitely hasn’t earned anything more yet. I just thought he made a lot of improvements from year 1 to year 2, and if that continues he could be pretty good in the next year or two

I won’t be surprised if Harbaugh, Nick Monroe and Danny Collin’s all need extensions/raises pretty soon. Also wouldn’t be surprised to hear Rutgers has been poking around at Monroe or Collin’s about their DC spot

Looks like he already accepted an invite to the Hula bowl. Also, he had a few option type plays where he kept the ball and ran for a touchdown, one of them was pretty late against USC I think. Definitely wouldn’t consider him a rushing threat, although he is decently mobile when needed.

I love the combo, but absolutely despise that for the second game in a row they have gone back to the wood grain helmet stripe instead of sticking with the one that matches the jersey and pants.

https://x.com/gopherfootball/status/1836949823271919696?s=46 It appears they are indeed going all maroon for the maroon out

It could be that they are making less work, but I think they also might just want to show off the new stock version of the uniforms and various combos before they start messing with the helmet stickers and facemask changes etc.

Yes, beat MTSU 34-3 back in 2017. Pick-6 by Jacob Huff is the big play people might remember from that game

I think they wore it in PJs first season against MTSU if I recall correctly. Don’t remember seeing it since then though

Combos like this are so obnoxious that I actually love them! Also, I would now expect full maroon combo to be worn against Iowa since they still haven’t used that yet

Yeah, they should have gotten a penalty on his first return since they had two #9s on the field but the refs missed it

I think most people that do want Fleck fired understand that it’s definitely not going to happen this year, and likely not even next year due to that very high buyout to fire him at this point. To be clear I don’t want him fired, but I do want him to adapt and improve. If he continues to show...

I don’t know about that, I don’t think he would have been playing special teams in game one if that was their goal. I’m guessing Fleck is treating Koi how he did DT last year. Gave only one carry against Nebraska then played the whole next game. Im expecting/hoping for something similar this...
