The Rutger's center had the biggest impact on the final outcome. AK didn't even call for the snap..... But Drake took advantage of every mistake Robb Smith made, starting with the switch to zone coverage on the long pass to Smith.

Fleck is not above criticism. We got out of today with a win. We don't have to apologize for that. My expectations for the rest of the season dropped further today than it did after the Cal loss. We move on to tOSU next week. I'm not predicting anything, but I don't see a change in Fleck's...

It's still 0-7. Maybe a little bit if an over reaction? It could be they judt need a little time to shake off the high of the Bye Week victory.

USC = The University of Spoiled Children. Some things never change......(and trust me, that's the nicest use of that acronym for the Trojans).

All coaches have slogans. All coaches use coach speak. Fleck is over the top and, in his own words, "is not for everyone." To paraphrase Crash Davis in Bull Durham, "If you win the Big Ten and talk like that, you're colorful. Until then, you sound stupid." I know even the slightest criticism...

This past weekend solidified the belief among those who know about college football in the Gophers. Folks have no problem picking the Gophers after their thrilling rebound performance this past weekend.

Cal 0 San Diego State 34 Doesn't look like a bye week victory to me. Looks like Cal beat us on the field in week 3 and went out of their way to make sure we know we had no business losing to them in the first place in week 4.

It was similar to our game against Iowa last year, except Rutgers lit them up with a passing game for the enitre first half. It was 21 - 21 at half-time. Iowa returned the opening kick off for a TD, then both teams moved the ball pretty well. After halftime, Rutgers couldn't do much offensively...

You'll forgive me for not thinking CFN is the arbiter of the future for college football. While I disagree with several of their predictions, reaching 7-5 isn't hard to envision, although 6-6 looks just as likely, and 8-4 wouldn't surprise me, depending on how things break for some of our...

Two words. Robb Smith. Question answered.

I did not know that Robb Smith had resurfaced at Rutgers. Makes Iowa's 30+ points make a lot more sense. I, for one, feel much better about our chances with Robb Smith in charge of the play calling on D for Rutgers.

You don't think the Golden Domers would buy into year zero?

Indiana joined that group? I think making the playoffs puts them ahead of that group. They may not make it again this year, but they just blew out the 9th-ranked team. Indiana may not be able to sustain it. Still, Cignetti certainly seems to understand that the metric for success of a...

Enough talent that we should be 3-0 and have a chance at 8+ wins. Enough issues from the O-line, the Receivers and DBs, and coaching, that 6/7 wins won't surprise me.

At one during the broadcast they put up Cal's QB numbers for plays he wasn't pressured and the few times we blitzed/pressured him. The number of pressures was low. But so was his completion percentage and yardage. We could have blitzed more, but we also could have protected Drake better and not...

As a Gopher fan for the last 8+ years you may not recognize what is often referred to as "Half-Time adjustments". The game looked a lot like the Iowa game for us last year.

Coming into the season, the QB, O-line, and Receivers were unknowns/concerns. I was also concerned about the corners, just because we were replacing both, but they were a lesser concern. After three games, Drake is the real deal. He has upside but has shown a lot to be excited about through the...

Delusional is not how I would have described the Cal game, but it works in hindsight. A game we should have won, but we continue to be delusional in thinking that playing not to lose is a winning approach.

Of the schools I've been to, Penn State was probably the loudest. Ohio State at night was a close second. Northwestern and the Big House a tie for quietest, but the game I saw at the Big House was over early.

Thanks for the memories, Jim. Rest in peace, and Ski-U-Mah.
