This might be the slowest overall Gopher's team we have had in 5-6 years?

I am in the corner of the most important stat for a QB in our offense is accuracy. So I look at our completion percentage yes, but that can be helped with a couple of great receivers (Johnson and Bateman), so I also trust the "eye test" and Kaliakmanis just has too many throws that are missed to...

I completely agree that we were way outmatched but it is the total lack of any semblance of improvement in ANY area of the offense that gives me so much cause for concern. What area of offense are we better in now than we were in week 1? It seems that our passing game has regressed massively...

Kaliakmanis's accuracy is atrocious. He isn't accurate enough to be a B1G QB. Sorry, but it's true.

More than we have shown in games again Northwestern, Illinois, and Purdue? Maybe we have lost more to the portal than those teams.

I understand that we have lost some talent, especially on defense, due to the transfer portal, but are we the only school in the Big Ten that has lost players to the portal? Does anyone have a list of all the B1G schools portal guys so we can compare. How are these other schools not having...

I really thought coming into the season that the recruiting had gotten so much better the last couple of years. It's obvious that the players might be a little more highly rated, but they seem to have very low ceilings... This is bad... Why is it that every single f'ing time in my 50 years...

Kaliakmanis’s accuracy is very concerning. It is one of the most difficult things to fix as a coach.

That was an awesome catch. Just give your receiver a chance. Bell should have had the first one. This is attacking as an offense. Now if the defense can adjust, we can get back in this.

This is the way.

I agree with this completely. Some communities just have better genetics than others. I know of some schools around ours that continuously grind out 6'1" to 6'4" kids that are strong, lean and can run like deer, along with the occasional big bodied kid. Heck, their girls' VB front line always...

The zone read is REALLY hard to run if you don’t include the read part.

So the offense has completely quit on the RPO game?

Not a great throw but Crooms has to catch that.

This is also a major problem for football. You're right that parents are investing huge money into those other sports. All for the chance at that scholarship that honestly isn't coming for most of them. All we ask of our players in the off-season is to work out and do some speed work so they...

I agree 100% that 2 classes of 9-man NEEDS to happen, BUT there still has to be enrollment ranges for each. Currently it's 150 and below for 9-man before appeals. I am not sure you could just say 150 and above for the other class. You might end up with a school of 160 enrollment up against a...

Thanks for the clarification. I see those schools and think that they are ALL huge with our class sizes in the 30s and 40s. Maybe a top class of 16 or 24? The problem is always the cut-off lines make those right on them either really happy or really upset. I know that our schools have sometimes...

0-4 with a pick six and sack for the second half passing. The passing game has completely regressed into nothingness... Ya ya, Michigan is a great defense, but this has become and all too common thing game in and game out...

Ufff. Our passing game is rough. Can’t protect. Can’t get open. Can’t put the pass in the proper place. AK has the arm strength but the accuracy is lacking.

This is the thing with many sports in high school now, football in particular. It's a physically demanding sport, and requires toughness (both physical and mental) and more and more kids today don't seem to have either. Been coaching for more than 20 years at small schools and am seeing the...
