    Rutgers giving up several massive plays after near tackles for loss. Unreal. Reminds me of when the Gophs were perennially shitty under Wacker.

    Gopher Fans in Attendance

    Moms and dads across the country watch JV games all the time. WGAF. Irrelevant.

    Fleck: "I know we didn't throw the ball particularly a lot this year. I'm very aware of that.”

    If my numbers are correct, the Indiana first half was the same throwing percentage at 38%. 25 runs vs 15 pass.

    I stopped watching early in the 2nd half. I did see that Fadgeland ended the game similar to the Gophs, running out the clock near the goal line instead of going for the TD. The holders of those Whiskey bets at -7.5 must have been pissed.

    Reusse: P.J. Fleck's sustained success with Gophers separates him from Lou Holtz's legacy

    SON, the Strib should just hire you to be the Reusse interpreter and place it at the end of every column.

    Fleck: "I know we didn't throw the ball particularly a lot this year. I'm very aware of that.”

    The first 2 to 3 games might be a little rough on offense. Fans will probably be upset. Luckily the first two games aren't strong opponents. It takes time for an offensive line to gel and for coaches to understand which new players are the gamers.

    Wake's extended belly-hold RPO is....weird.

    The few times I saw the Utes play, they seemed to be significantly more physical than their PAC12 rivals which should help them vs OSU. Regardless, OSU will blow them out. It won't be close.

    I'm weirdly looking forward to the Sun Bowl at 11:00 am. We attended the Y2K Sun Bowl and I loved that venue, even in a close loss to Joey Harrington's Ducks. Rutgers will probably be getting pounded by then in the Gator.

    I really enjoying watching your last point - clashing styles. The PAC12 and BG12 largely moved to basketball-on-grass spread offenses over the last two decades because of early success, and their defenses responded according with smaller faster players. Those same teams are now sometimes...

    I like your thinking regarding PSU and the BG10.

    I might have been one to take that -7.5 bet. I thought the Fadgers would stomp ASU.

    Reusse: P.J. Fleck's sustained success with Gophers separates him from Lou Holtz's legacy

    Here's what I simply don't understand about the curmudgeonly criticism of Fleck's style. A place like Minnesota circa 2017, without a recent strong history of college football (no, a handful of decent seasons under Kill/Mason don't equate to a strong program) and pro team competition for fans...

    Reusse: P.J. Fleck's sustained success with Gophers separates him from Lou Holtz's legacy

    I agree with most of your take, but I don't think Holtz was a con man. His motivational principles rang true and were very effective. To be a con man, you need to lie and cover up. If Holtz had a downside, it was the potential recruiting violations. Maybe you can correct me with facts, but I...

    My gut says Penn State loses but I'm going back and forth. They had a mediocre season, now have multiple opt outs, and the Razorbacks are a very solid SEC team; all of which point to a loss. On the other hand, Clifford played injured after the Iowa game and probably had time to heal up, PSU...

    PAC12 is now the equivalent of 9-man football. How in the holy f'ck did Oregon beat Ohio State?
