I do think the Gophers and other average programs in the BIG will have recruiting benefits by having more elite schools in the same conference. Not saying they'll have top 20 or anything, but certainly make the bump to top 40 more easy.

Gopherhole hopes that Rossi learns that pass coverage should probably cover 100% rather than 75%.

Yup. This right here obviously isn't a player problem. This is a Rossi problem. I say that as a Rossi fan.

The offense, eh, I expected a mess. I'll believe the Gophers will have a good offense when I finally see an OC and QB tandem that are coveted by other P5 programs. The run defense and line play have been fine. The tackling fundamentals have been off. But holy moly the coverage miscues are...

To PJ's credit, he usually rights the ship. To PJ's failure, it's usually losses like these that force his hand to make uncomfortable decisions.

I expected a 6-6 to 7-5 season. I understand that winning in Evanston is generally tough as Northwestern doesn't give up. Every year we can expect to see Northwestern upset somebody. But this game implosion rests solely on the Gophers poor coaching. 1 - We need points? Sorry, the OCs are...

Yup.

Well offense. You're in a shootout. Good luck.

Yeah. Let's gift them 30 yards so far.

Are you serious....

Our secondary is officially an area of concern.

Tough call for me. I feel like they just are different overall gameday philosophies. PJ is captain conservative, which still boggles my mind since he was a WR. Whatever floats your boat, PJ pun unintended.

I'm not sure about this. Head coaches are often CEO types. There are many good ones that delegate all gameday decisions. I think PJ and Prime are quite similar, not the same of course. Deion does have some recruiting advantages with the fame and experience of being one of best athletes ever...

I think TCU is an average to above average P5 team. Still maybe we should better define what "average" is. Is average the 50-60th team in the FBS? Or is average for a P5 team actually in the 30-50th range? I think TCU is probably around 40 this year. 🤷‍♂️

I disagree based on I think they are a two trick pony. Sanders at QB and Hunter. Two top draft ponies. Respect your take though. Hard to argue with our failures at passing this year.

Eh, I'd put money on the Gophers beating Colorado if they were playing this year. They are a good matchup for the Gophers. I'd say otherwise if they had a good defense.

True. I might swap in Brockington. (Jackson is starting in that list already)

Here's the 247 starter ratings for this week. Rules: 1 - www.ourlads.com is used for the starters. 2 - This is starting 11 only on both sides. If more than 11 are listed, I try to be fair when removing. When it's obvious that a player will not be playing, I slot in the next depth player. 3 -...

The Gophers can of course compete with top 25 recruiting programs. It just that there are some variables there. Obviously, a difference in speed and skill can be shown in games, true. I don't think that difference really exists much if were talking a bunch of 86s vs a bunch of 89s. But...
