Agreed. Our local recruiting footprint sucks and our NIL is average at best. We need to recruit late bloomers, etc., that the top programs ignore from their own backyards and hope some of them pan out. PJ is a developmental coach which is what we need right now.

Ohio State hasn't scored much this year MOSTLY because they're playing it safe and haven't been forced to put the pedal down. They have punted TWICE in their last THREE games (0.67 punts/game)! One of those punts was to Grambling when they were up 63-0 so I think it's fair to say their...

Heard some analysis today that Drake had three big time throws and zero turnover worthy according to PFF while Athan had one big time throw and four turnover worthy (one resulted in a Rutgers touchdown) so basically what we were all thinking. Athan's got to continue to tighten things up. In...

You seem to know California for obvious reasons. Can you give your thoughts on the second part of GopherGrit's question? Should we have taken Cal instead of UCLA? We would have locked down another huge TV market. UCLA's situation could improve, but it really sucks right now with the debt...

I like the way you think! That's the way things SHOULD be viewed, but they aren't for the majority of people. Hey, the world isn't perfect. I get it. The CFP rankings will be very interesting and they mostly got it right last year against a lot of SEC pressure. They do deserve a lot of...

Alabama & Maryland beat Wisconsin by similar scores. Alabama with one bad loss to Florida State is 10 while Maryland is undefeated and unranked. I know Alabama just beat Georgia, but we only THINK Georgia is good. It's too early to really know. Florida State barley loses to a one loss...

He threw an interception against California on a long out route jumped by their corner that has a lot of picks. Not a great decision against a very good defender.

I find it hard to believe he'd leave if he is doing really well here. If teams are coming with bags of cash, then he knows the NFL also knows he's good. Most QBs that move purely for money seem to be the good college QBs that have limited pro futures and so want to maximize their college...

The Gophers feel insulted by the 23.5 point line and Ohio State has no incentive to run up the score. Our above average safeties keep OSU honest and have a good day keeping things in front of them. We score late with OSU sitting on the lead to keep things respectable. OSU 27 - MN 13.

No.

I disagree. I've watched a lot of Ohio State football this year. It likely would take close to 40 points to beat them and multiple mistakes on their part. They have a redshirt freshman, Julian Sayin, at quarterback and have been playing it very safe with him. Exactly what PJ would do if he...

I saw the same thing from AK in the games against us and Iowa. He still seems to get nervous in clutch time. I think it's great AK has improved so much, but Drake is already better. AK has receivers getting a lot of attention from the pro ranks which likely accounts for the statistical...

This thread says we're on a two week winning streak!

Is it OK if I consider that a compliment? 😜

Just having some fun here, but not outside the realm of possibility, right? Nestor already starts at corner for us and the word seems to be people are concerned about his speed and quickness when matching up against some of the B1G's best, but he's tailor made for tall, physical receivers...

Agreed. I doubt many people are surprised AK improved. That's sort of what you do over time when practicing a craft. So far Drake is playing better than AK did at this stage of his career.

They definitely vary widely! Cal's Sagapolutele was being talked about as a Heisman candidate after his first three games and then lays an egg against San Diego State. Unfortunately, I was hoping he'd lay that egg against us! I still think we didn't try hard enough to make him lay an egg by...

Like other posters, I noticed a lot of injured Rutgers players leaving during the game. That could help us a lot!

Mark Cuban is an Indiana alum and it does appear he is helping their NIL. I've heard from several sources (including a Gopher podcast) that Indiana NIL is very good now. Follow the money!

To your point, Cal lost 34-0 against San Diego State last week! Cal QB threw 2 interceptions. Maybe we just made their QB look like a Heisman contender? We almost had a Koi pick six off him. He threw one to SDSU. Both his picks were not fluky and were with him standing in the pocket. I...
