Continuity can be good. Hanging on to Limegrover because of continuity held Kill back. Some change can keep the program from getting stagnant as well. We have had more than our fair share under Fleck. It was similar with Brewster.

Nobody got hurt?

Beautiful campus. My youngest is a student at Arkansas.

is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Doing the math, we "only" missed 14 tackles vs. tOSU, meaning we averaged 15.5 missed tackles between Rutgers and Cal. That is more concerning to me than missing 14 tackles against tOSU. Maybe the quote on Violent was that we're violently bad at tackling. Again.

one could argue, the program was murdered.

Not advocating getting rid of Fleck. I don't think that's happening, regardless of what I think. Even if it was the right thing for us right now, I'm not sure we can trust our incompetent AD to make a hire that will take the next step, even if the Admin wanted that to happen (which they don't)...

Check out Uncle Peyton's numbers from his first year. It's not apples to apples, but even if his last name is Manning, he needs time to grow. He didn't play much for two years. I certainly expect that Drake will be a different quarterback next year after going through this season, but he...

All teams have bad losses. Never said they didn't. I know that just from my time as a fan of the Gophers. I've seen a lot of them. A couple of bad losses? You're not being honest if you look at that list and only see a couple of bad losses. The trio from 2023 is more than a couple by...

You're right. And I didn't say that the only acceptable answer is that Fleck would have won all 13 of these games, even though I think he could have (a few are completely inexcusable). Every team loses games that defy explanation, especially in College Football. I did say he could have and...

Some of this is scheme and the offensive philosophy. You don't control the TOP with big plays. The play calling could be interpreted as focused on 5-yard gains vs. home runs.

Agree with all of this, except you left out sh!t the bed once or twice during the season (early, late, doesn't matter - Rutgers last year was late in the season).

he's not going to be on the hot seat, period.

Average, using what he could have/should have delivered. I don't like PJ for several reasons, but the primary one is the number of wins he's left on the table. He has consistently underperformed in comparison to the team's capabilities and its players. 2018: Loss at Illinois. A team that won 2...

I believe I said very often vs never. Not stewing in anything, also won't refer to average to mediocre as Elite.

I Guess abandoning your gameplan and identity is an adjustment. How long did it take? Patricia made a few adjustments after one series and shut us down.

That's not totally true. Ohio State adjusted after the first drive and took a lot of what we did away. I know adjustments n game are something we don't see from our coaches very often, but competent staffs do it all the time.

Somebody forgot to tell James Franklin what was expected on a fall Saturday. Franklin is still the only coach that out PJd PJ.

Glen Mason knocked off #2 Penn State at Penn State. UCLA knocked off #7 Penn State today. With a new coach. Cignetti has done pretty well with Indiana who has not had anywhere near the talent level as the top teams. Appalachian State knocked off Michigan at the Big House. It can be done...
