This article is a great example of how the local media is unnecessarily critical to the program, in contrast to several of the Gophers' rivals. I'm trying to imagine a similar article being written when Wisconsin needed a QB under Alvarez and his successors. The pitch can be pretty simple: we...

First of all, Morgan didn’t have Mo in 2021. Secondly, the observation about more favorable chances on first and ten was in response to the (correct) general comment that passing on first down gives your QB their best opportunities statistically. The coaches threw more on first down this year...

ESPN has splits by down and distance

I'm not disagreeing with the broader point, but Morgan in his final full season (2021) threw 78 times on first down for a rating of 149.4 and Kaliakmanis threw 119 times on first down this season for a rating of 133.1. AK was given more opportunities in a favorable down and distance and did less...

We'll see where Athan ends up, but if he doesn't land at P5 program it's further evidence that Fleck and his staff have been ineffective at identifying HS quarterbacks. I'll resurface the thread from last offseason that summarized QB recruiting. Looking over the list, Max Duggan and Brennan...

It seems to me the following is all true with regard to meting out punishment: The rule that’s been broken (advanced in-person scouting) is in place for all sports, and the B1G needs to consider how they might handle a softball team (for example) doing the same thing in the future Violations...

It seems unwise to tell a group you need for the rest of the season that you plan to replace them instead of trying to help them improve.

Agreed. The phrasing makes it unclear, but to me "path" sounds like a game prior to the playoff matchups.

That's gotta be Ohio State, right? "We may not win it all, but let's make sure the team down south doesn't either."

This example is likely the biggest barrier to a 24-30 school separate league. Right now the helmet schools - regardless of who you include with that term - view themselves as equals and are able to fundraise as such. Good luck doing that when you finish 4-8 for three years running.

Jim was undone by South Carolina's win over Tennessee, he had their signals, but possibly not TCU's.

Finishing the year 3-2 with a win over Wisconsin will make me very happy with the season, something I didn't think would be possible just two weeks ago.

Came here to say precisely this. Very easily could have gone 0-3 in the non conference that year and looked bad for long stretches of those games. Best team of my lifetime.

I don't think it should be now - far too much deregulation/legalization is happening too quickly - but I assume the NCAA will need to adopt a standard that schools will be expected to follow. As for enforcement, this wouldn't be the first time the NCAA has created a rule that would be applied...

In what year do we think player gambling will become a compliance expectation for athletic departments and coaches? Clearly no one thinks it should be now, our most bitter rival (it's a tie) is in the crosshairs and no one is suggesting sanctions for the program or coach.

Backing up the original post, here are their defensive EPA ranks: Oregon #105 USC #106 UCLA #113 Washington #117 Source: https://www.cfb-graphs.com/

I agree with everyone else who feels the article lacks any sort of substance. Coyle has already made a statement: I think it would be beneficial for Coyle to offer up what sort of existing oversight exists for the program and/or to review the allegations about the drug tests. But it seems...

Not to mention available prop action would have moved a lot.

Tell me you don’t know about betting markets without telling me you don’t know about betting markets. If the books had known Mo was sitting, the lines would have moved by several points.

Yep. Imagine knowing Mo wasn't going to play against Purdue, for example.
