    My God! ...If he ever intercepts the ball, I predict he takes it the house.

    Newcomers/younger players who caught my eye (spring game)

    That is Nate Roy literally diving yards -- straight out horizontally like a bird -- through the air to make contact with a defender. That is beyond athletic and he will be a first round pick. This group is athletic. ...But brute force is not their forte.

    Newcomers/younger players who caught my eye (spring game)

    Right. I think the line is an athletic line geared toward pass protection -- and Warren fits that mold, like the others. I saw Warren blocking against Menz, for example, and Warren moved his feet well and kept his positioning vis-a-vis Menz, which is no easy task! As for this line as a whole...

    Newcomers/younger players who caught my eye (spring game)

    Naquan Crowder. Legit run-stuffer. My mind is at ease about being gashed with the run. Noah Jennings. Runs all routes. Athletic talent. WR room will be at least three-deep on Saturdays. Bennett Warren. Looked great a RT. Fantastic addition. OL will be solid. Nate Cleveland...

    Gophers QB Drake Lindsey Arrested on Underage Drinking, Fake ID Charges

    Haven't yet read what others wrote. I'll do that momentarily. My take: who cares? Literally everyone drinks under age. I did. My kids did. My kids' friends did. Etc. And tons have fakes. (I know my eldest did. And so did his friends.) I really couldn't possibly care less. Unless he...

    In the spirit of overanalysis

    Here's the shocking thing: Kill and PJ are right when they say all that "boring" stuff about basically just not beating yourself. The Gophers offense was not effective last year: it was #129 out of 136 Division I teams in total offense. So it was very bad. But... The Gophers lost 2 fumbles...

    In the spirit of overanalysis

    Knowing that I'm reading WAY too much into small things, I conclude that this year Harbaugh is concerned in a significant way with a Jerry Kill-esque notion of the Gophers offense not beating itself. (1) Says that the best run was one where Taylor gained two yards by taking on half a defender...

    Jett Feeney, Moorhead qb, commits

    On the off-chance you see this, Jett... Run! Save yourself. Do you really want to plunge yourself into an arena of nonstop scrutiny, criticism, and second-guessing? You're still young: surely there's something else you could do. On the other hand, if you're crazy enough, then welcome to...

    The next great Fleck team

    Do you have a sense as to the percentage of times the Gophers lined up in 12 personnel on first down and mixed downs?

    Cedric Tomes commits!!!

    I haven't seen a single game, and therefore couldn't say anything with certitude. That said, what you've said is the first thing that popped to my mind.

    Huskers Radio Host: Nebraska should talk to PJ Fleck if things go south with Matt Rhule.

    I don't think Scott Frost was/is a smart coach. Maybe experience will fix that. But yikes. I thought he was reliably dumb while at Nebraska.
