Field position battle is, I am beginning to think, PJ’s biggest coaching weakness. It will be a long year …

This is the real problem, not the playcalling. Rutgers, freaking Rutgers, is overpowering the Gophers physically

The announcer saying specials teams is important to Minnesota that even the fans are good at them is hilarious. Minnesota special teams has been a joke.
That's partially on the U and partially on him.

Stagnant and rough, no emotion, they are playing like they are at the dentist's office.

Rutgers under schiano has been a physical but not super talented team to be fair

Time of possession is going to kill the Gophers today. They are getting obliterated in TOP. D isn’t going to be able to hang. Could get ugly. Especially if Harbaugh can’t put any drives together. Ciarrocca will have a field day.
They won the Bye Week but I guess it sapped them.

He has plenty of money he chooses to promote analyst types into those jobs that’s all on him.

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 back end anyway

Might be a hangover from the big win over the bye week.

Bye week didn't do Jack shit for this team, pathetic performance so far.
This gopher team is not very good, and I don’t like what the defensive coordinator has done so far.

It’s almost like Rutgers is purposely getting to 3rd and long just to F with us.
