I’m a little surprised that this class is so weak at safety. Safety play was pretty brutal most of the year and we have razor thin depth. Especially with Avante waffling. I wonder if McGill or Dino will get moved from WR if they are struggling to crack the rotation.

Interesting question and I'm not sure of the answer, but my guess is it's low. I'm willing to revise my statement to simply "hiring Sanford."

Hiring Sanford over Simon.

Marcus is to our bad basketball team as Mo is to our bad football team.

Gophers need players like Ratzlaff to stay home if we are going to do well (see Coughlin, Martin, Barber). Makes it so much worse to lose him to Wisco when we are absolutely desperate for LB talent. Frustrating.

@Some Day...Maybe: No matter how Fleck’s tenure ends up, I will appreciate what he did to give us last year; by far the best gopher season of my life. But this year has made some things clear: Last year is owed in large part to non-Fleck recruits and our departed offensive coordinator. Fleck...

While there are many reasons to be absolutely disgusted tonight, what stood out to me is Fleck's ego. The unsportsmanlike penalty was costly -- and the decisions to play the starters at the end was both strategically questionable (Morgan has regressed a shocking amount) and incredibly selfish...

Minor Fleck decisions like kicking the field goal and not putting in another QB in garbage time when Morgan has looked horrendous are particularly infuriating

Football is so so so hard to watch when your team can’t stop the run.

Sanford looks like a really bad hire so far. Play calling has been brutal and Morgan looks worse.

We have lost to some very, very bad teams.

Going for two was 100% the right move. Not even close. We could debate Sanford’s horrible decision to run Mo up the gut, but here is the question: Do you like your chances of this defense getting a stop, or our offense getting three yards?

Fleck not going for two at the end was (1) dumb (2) cowardly. Absolutely deserved that ending. And now we have to reckon with the clear fact that we have recruited zero defensive talent since Fleck arrived.

This defense gives us zero reason for optimism. There is not one player who looks even average.

I’m sorry. I’m over served and sad. I think the D will be okay. This is a tough test. Rtb Ski U Mah

You guys were right. Replacing 4 NFL draft picks on defense wouldn’t be a big deal at all. Look at all that athleticism out there!!

While I think that everyone is optimistic for the Gopher offense this year (although depth at offensive line is a major concern) defense is another story IMO. While I don't feel great about any position group besides CB, the LB group is my biggest cause for concern. We lose a ton of production...

He might end up being a great Gopher - and I hope he is - but just another HS Pitino recruit that doesn’t get me very excited, and makes me think Pitino spins a wheel when making roster management decisions.

I think A on overall talent (especially if everyone gets eligible) but Pitino seems like he’s grasping for straws every spring. To his credit, he nailed it this time around, but it just doesn’t seem sustainable. Maybe Pitino is ahead of his time w relying on the transfer market, but it doesn’t...

If all six O-linemen are healthy, I’d expect to see a lot of that heavy package again this year, regardless of who the starting five end up being.
