  1. Texan Gopher

    Robb Smith Appreciation thread.

    I don't think he coached terribly. He mixed up some zone and man-to-man schemes. I actually think Drake is not only a great physical presence, but mentally he reads the defense pre-snap as good as any quarterback we've had except for maybe Max. Drake absolutely broke that defense down pre-snap...

    I think we are closer than we are farther apart. I think PJ has been a great coach. I agree 100% about the youth of our team. With that said, some of the decisions made by the coaching staff hurt us tremendously in the Cal game and the first half of this game. That said, great coaches realize...

    What grade would you give the Gophers coaches in win over Rutgers?

    The first half equals a D minus. The second half was an A.

    Who is your Gophers MVP in win over Rutgers?

    Him being roommates with Max last year was evident this game. He was reading the defense pre-snap and making decisions before the snap even happened. I don't know if I have seen a Minnesota Gopher quarterback at his age. Do what he is doing. Knowledge and physical skills are everywhere with this...

    You are correct. Hence why I came here and said I apologize as I was wrong. That said, can you at least acknowledge the fact that we were severely outcoached against Cal and severely outcouched in the first half? We made changes. That was awesome to see as we haven't seen that that often with...

    Tell me I wasn't correct. In the first half? We came out and played a completely different offensive scheme and on defense, we still missed tackles and players made mistakes, but we didn't simply fall back into three rushers and prevent defense on every big play. Changes were made at halftime...

    We have a quarterback and receivers that allow us to play a type of offense we have not seen here for decades. We have to take advantage of it. This proves it.

    I'm going to come here and say I was wrong. The changes the offensive coordinator made and PJ made in the second half Won this game for us. I am fully apologizing to everyone, hats off to PJ and the OC for realizing we are a pass. First speed up offense team. Drake is the best quarterback we...

    I completely get that. That said, on 4th down and inches we go from shotgun? When we don't get the first down, we start with the defense with only three defensive linemen and go prevent? With 9 seconds left in the first half and a chance to run a quick 5:00 to 7-yard out route to get some...

    I hate saying it, but we are going up against two former offensive coordinators and our former quarterback. Both teams have athletes that are very similar. We lost our best coordinators and replaced them with guys that maybe eventually will be good but right now, they are not the right OC and DC...

    We are not good on offense and our Defense is really bad. (Especially our pass D as our pass rush doesn't exist and our DBs are turning their hips too quick and giving up the 2nd move the WR makes. Some crucial decisions will need to be made this off-season. I think we have some talented...

    I like your style. You understand the gambling lines and what they mean very well.

    Who is your Gophers MVP in the win over Buffalo?

    Yeah, I am changing my vote to Darius Taylor. His prevention of the touchdown that resulted in a field goal on the interception was a massive play. In retrospect. There were also three or four times he gained the first down where almost no other running back in the country was going to do it. A...
