I can hardly wait to watch this young man play!

Younger brother.

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

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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.

That guy's got a Big Ten body already.

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.
