The good thing is we will have a few games of tape on him to start to get a feel for his tendencies and what freshman mistakes he might be prone to making (they will have the same for Drake unfortunately). Watching that game, the kid certainly has talent but the announcers went way overboard...

Pretty amazing hearing all the stuff that Johnson went through after the injury. Amazing that he is walking again much less healed up enough to go play football. Based on how bad the transfer QB looked, great chance he gets to be the guy going forward. Rough intro to college football for...

Some are trying to make it about race. But I think that is a pretty small group that truly believe that because race is not the reason Shadeur is in the spot he is.

He was part of the post game press conference after the Buffalo game and it was one of the first times I have seen him on camera but he absolutely needs to be out front and center as much as possible. You can tell the kid just loves football. He is a physical freak and hopefully has a huge...

Nearly every coach will tell you that the biggest growth for any team happens from week 1 to week 2. You can practice and scrimmage all you want, nothing simulates the actual intensity of the real thing no matter what you try. College teams need at least one tuneup game to start the year in my...

Cal lost a ton of RB to transfer so good chance their running game is going to struggle. Definitely think our defense is better then Oregon State's but the Cal game is going to be a tough one, especially on the road.

It is great for the networks and it gives fans something to get excited about but I absolutely hate the marquee matchups in week 1, especially when they are conference games as well. College football doesn't have a pre-season, teams need some time to work out the kinks and figure things out. I...

That game got really chippy as both teams were chirping non stop. NM gave them a battle.

Announcers are ready to give the Cal QB the Heisman....holy crap it is tough to listen to. Cal game is going to be interesting, they look solid and the new QB does look good. But the announcers are getting ridiculous in their praise....

There are fans that just assume that if we end up kicking a field goal it means Fleck didn't even try for the TD, and forced the offensive coaches to call super vanilla plays so that we would have to settle for 3.... It is so weird.....we all (coaches included) would love every drive to end in...

Haven't seen a ton of mention of it but Koi's lone catch was really impressive and shows his potential as a WR. Great sideline awareness and body control to secure the catch and make sure feet were in bounds. As he gets more comfortable running routes he could be a real threat in the passing...

Yeah that was some brutal clock management. QB made some bad decisions as well, especially late when he burned like 10 seconds running around as opposed to just sliding after getting the first down.

Wonder what things will be like at Colorado without Hunter and the coaches kids. Don't hear much about them anymore outside of Deion's health issues and the kids NFL issues.

Star treatment/benefit of the doubt stuff does certainly seem to come into play more against the elite teams where they will seem to get calls at times.... But the vast majority of the time it is just human error with no malicious intent behind it. Refs make mistakes, always have always will...

The fact that Drake looked as comfortable as he did considering how young he is, is a great sign. He has a ton of developing left to do, and he will definitely make mistakes this year. But there is a lot there to be excited about as Gophers fans. He has a chance to be a special player for us.
