He wasn't as sharp as in some previous games, but being at the game you could see that Purdue's handsy defense where they ride the wr to the break of the route and then hold them to stay tight did not leave any room for easy passes. My brother and I commented on how well he was delivering the...
It is really troubling for sure. As a longtime fan I maybe started taking for granted having a solid defense. If this defense even had the two corners from last year I think it would be a really big improvement. This current dback group cannot play zone defense at a level that is even remotely...
Anyone remember Gophers 2023 at Columbus? Hopefully no one on this thread was at the game. It was really embarrassing as PJ had lost all faith in Athan by this point, team was on rb 5, and the defense was not very good with the exception of Walley who shut down Marvin Harrison Jr. The Gophers...
I agree, with the exception of Daniel Jackson. I thought he was an excellent college WR who got better every year, ran exceptional routes, and caught almost everything. I am actually slightly postively surprised at the new WR group post Spencer and Jones.
Drake stayed calm and played at an elite level to lead this team to victory. Also really proud of the receiving corp and backs for catching almost everything and some of those catches were really tough. Drake and Nelson just missed on I believe three long balls as well. Great job not turning the...
I'm surprised by this because it looked like the secondary was spaced out and the Cal QB was throwing to receivers who often didn't have a Gopher dback within 5 feet. It was the worst pass defense I have seen in the Fleck and Kill era.
Collins the new DC decided to use a soft zone against a good qb and he never adjusted.
SDSU’s corners played physcial man and to me that was the difference. Last year’s team had two really good corners.
Ryan Burns thought that Greg Johnson was elite at Guard (but I believe touchdownvikings that he goofed on that stunt).
It would be nice to still have Daniels for what 3 years? He started and looked good for OSU.
Remember that "big dumper" they had a few years back?
I think we could say that the Gophers have had better QB play compared to iOwa and Wisc since PJ came to town. Athan disappointed his one season after being appointed, and PJ was decisive and made a smart change.
Just wanted to chime in with maybe the reason Luka seems so insufferable as a teammate and lazy, is because his Mom is really good looking? It probably messed with his head.
