Your right, I actually checked the box scores and for the last year the defense has held very well. Maybe '23 had some games where the above was true like Wisconsin. College game has changed even PJ will finally stay aggressive with a lead. The days of teams getting a 10 pt lead and milking...

Freitag seemed the better athlete and maybe a higher ceiling, Asuma seemed like he had the better intangibles: coachable, loves to pass, plays defense. Guards don't go to Wisconsin very often and see the floor. I am happy with Asuma as well, even if Freitag becomes and all conf player at Buffalo.

I find the 247 composite ranking a better average of major recruiting services. 247 has him rated way higher than anywhere else. '26 kreager is a late bloomer, needs to put on weight and a mid major might fit him for early playing time. Dothan Ijadimbola, Nolan Anderson, and Jayden Morre...

Our defense was quite good, but part of the reason it ranks as high as it has is that the better teams only need to score 20+ pts per game to beat us. If we were in more shootouts it would rank lower. Teams get conservative once a win is in hand. If Iowa starts scoring more with that S Dakota...

Let's hope they get a few power 5 matchups in following years.

I hope so! I haven't seen anyone his size and skill level not rated by 247 and not without major offers. Built like Humphries, but skilled like Garcia. At lease in the few online games I have watched. One was against Wayzata.

He just got a Virginia tech offer.

I would have offered Micah Curtis, 6-8 230 physical speciman with wing skills, versus Nolan, he has a much higher ceiling.

Phil Steele has Mn with the 11th best offensive line in the big ten. Starters being: tackles Ray and Roy, guards Johnson and Marshall, center Beers. I guess I should have said none of the transfers project as 2nd round picks, having to replace a great tackle, on a team where the oline was...

I agree that running the ball was a priority, and very affective from 2017 to 2022. 182 rush yards per game in 2017, to a high of 207 in 2022. 2023 we dropped to 157. Last year we only averaged 115! We lost by far our best offensive lineman in 2nd round tackle Ersery. The transfers are not...

You are right on the easy schedule, Ohio st at home, at Indiana, 3rd hardest game is hosting USC. No Oregon, Penn, st., Michigan, etc. 4th hardest, might be at Washington. Draftkings has their wins at only 7.5, it's -160, because that number is super low! I just made another bet. lol

I have taken the under on Nebraska's win total for about 5 years now, and I will take it again! Word from outside sources on Michigan and Qb Underwood, most talented Fr QB in years, returns 14 starters, another very good defense. Illinois, 19 returning starters, won 10 last year. Great...

I totally agree! He could have played and thrown a lot more.

Offensive line, under PJ has been a strength, until last year. QB Brosmer had a great great season, once you consider the subpar Oline play. We lost a big time tackle, and our transfers could be ok. No one, outside of Gopher fans, think the line will be a strength, throw in a redshirt...

My wife is from Iowa and is a fan. They have a huge following and get better bowls then they deserve on occassion, going 1-3 in their last 4. Seeing how they and us are close in big ten finishing in the 2020's, the downside of having a great following is playing much better competition and...

assist per possession:to be fair the gophers were 6th 2 years ago, im baffled as to how ha Elijah Hawkins with 7.5 assists per game was the reason, so quick and not the best finisher, he gave up scoring stats to get easy buckets for teammates. Willis could be as quick and a legit 6-2. It...

Minnesota, Niko Medved Minnesota's Year 1 success under Medved will hinge, in part, on how a couple of 3-point shooting forwards translate. Davidson transfer Bobby Durkin ranked sixth in the Atlantic 10 last season in 3-point attempts per game at 7.8 and hit 35.5% of them. Fellow 6-foot-7...

Tyler is super talented, but his high usage rate was a product of Penn State not having very good wr's!

Iowa has started 4 unathletic players out of 5, almost every year. My wife is from Iowa and I have watched them a ton. Those 4 are super skilled and great on offense, they have slow feet and cannot stop dribble penetration. Fran had some athletic players but chose to bring them off the bench...
