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.

I'm guessing JJ would have looked slightly better against Buffalo (Bulls, not the Bills), and Northwestern State (the Demons are not the Falcons). You're comparing apples and Cumquots here for what reason? Vikes O-line hasn't been great, but they're playing with a makeshift line due to...

The only thing shocking here is that Brett McMurphy didn't write the article, and that Coyle hasn't given him a raise yet based on this "interest."

Didn't want him to get hurt? (I kid, I kid).

I actually thought of the things Koi did on that offensive play; the sack wasn't the worst thing. Trying to throw the ball could have been much worse. I give him credit for that. Players miss tackles and plays in every game. The punt return foibles? That's basic football common sense not to...

I understand the approach, and it can make sense in certain situations, I agree. It's also the leading cause of bad losses. James Franklin uses the same approach that helped us beat them in 2019 and almost beat them last year. Lloyd Carr got fired for refusing to go away from it and losing...

Fake scenarios? outside of 2019 and last season this has been the approach under Fleck.

I was hoping that Drew's performance against Buffalo would help take Fleck's boot off of Harbaugh and the offense, but I believe you're right - we'll go with the Fleck-special game plan - you know the one that helped us lose to bang up opponsents like Bowling Green, Purdue several times, and...

Put it this way. Only two of the bowls the Gophers have played in under Fleck existed when Mason was coach (there were 25% fewer bowls back then). One of them we only qualified for because of grades, so with 25% fewer bowls there would have been enough teams to fill the slots and we wouldn't...

travel safely.

and a competent AD

I think you can get all of this, and still schedule an FCS team that wouldn't have been blown out by the decimiated VaTech team we played in the Mayo Bowl..... We don't have to play NDSU, but the chance to earn a win you don't have to work to hard for lies in between NDSU and St. Sebastian's...
