A lot of the same players yes, but 3 guys from last year's D are now in the NFL and 2 more were among the final cuts in training camp... And another got a sniff. So that's 6 of 11 starters who were good enough for NFL teams to take serious notice. That's a ton of talent. I thought the returning...
Having Taylor back is obviously HUGE, but I hope the staff still trusts Lindsey and tries to keep things balanced on O. Taylor can still be very involved in the passing game.
Sucks to have Gousby out when the D is honestly struggling, but you really can’t complain with the relative health of...
It was designed to beat man coverage but Rutgers played zone and had somebody right there waiting. Bummer and perhaps should’ve been caught pre-snap but who knows.
Lindsey has a chance to go be the hero here thanks to a nice defensive series. Let’s see how he goes.
They’ve completely abandoned the run game, but Rutgers is still respecting the tendencies and run blitzing. They’ll figure it out eventually, but you have to score a TD here and also figure out a way to manufacture some run yards later.
One of the big surprises and concerns for me so far this season is the lack of pass rush and general physicality upfront on D. Really pitiful so far, and honestly at this point they should almost never be bringing just 3 or 4 IMO. Not only can they not get home, they also can’t cover on the...
Man, what a gut shot. Coin flip game at home coming off a bye week and your top two backs are STILL out. Talk about some bad luck. Sort of the reverse of the situation last year when Rutgers was missing Monangai, right? Hopefully the outcome flips as well :-)
It’s probably a smart bet considering what we’ve seen so far and the fact I doubt there will be much of a home field advantage at 11 am coming off a loss, but I do hope you post back about your $$ losses if Minnesota covers. It’s still pretty early in the season to make sweeping projections...
First legal challenge on this will be approximately 2 days after spring practices start. Lawyers among us who have been following NCAA stuff: will this — and any other regulation passed — stand up in court without legislation behind it?
