I'm really concerned about our corners too.

Once all those genius Cal-Berkley alumns start contributing to the Cal football program, we can add them and Stanford to the B1G and have a proper west coast division and stop flying these kids all the place! It will solidify the B1G as the smartest conference in the nation!

Right, our running game rightfully scared Ohio State in 2021. Nothing scared them this time around. Our running game is bad and our receivers are not good enough to get separation on their DBs. If you can't run the ball and you can't throw the ball... On the other side of the ball, one of...

MNVCGUY must be a terrible person to hang out with. He's so positive. Ugh! 😜

A pod I listened to said Ohio State, like most teams, started out in zone because that's the safest way to play if you can get away with it, but Drake picked it apart. After that, they went more to man and their athletes basically blanketed our receivers for the rest of the game.

I think that upgrade is coming. Who wouldn't want to play with Drake for the next few years? He's a tall, smart, accurate, big armed QB that spreads the ball around and you get to play with him for the next two years (after this year). He rarely gets balls batted down because of his height...

The gap between P4 teams like us and the FCS has increased because of NIL and TV money which is to our benefit. I agree the gap between the "professional" teams and us is still there. I think there are less "professional" teams now because that depends on big boosters dumping money into a...

Right, it allows you to have one more talented lineman to add into the mix and sit the guy struggling the most. I find it hard to believe he wouldn't have helped. It is comforting to see he hasn't been a world beater!

You are so right. Well, that and I think OL. Justin Walley was a four year starter and was in line to start for the Indianapolis Colts until he got hurt this year. Ethan Robinson was also a very good corner. Jack Henderson is still bouncing around the NFL on practice squads and was a big...

I disagree. There is no comparison between SEC and B1G bias. Nebraska has a win over a very good Cincinnati team and their only loss is by 3 points to Michigan. They should be ranked. Cincinnati is basically ranked 26 right now, above Nebraska. Washington should also be ranked with their...

I don't think we'll see many Gophers at all getting drafted or picked up as UDFAs this year. Last year, we had quite a few. The large majority of our best players will be coming back so we should be better next year. The only player that has a shot at being drafted in 2026 right now would be...

Drake does look like he could get in a little better shape. He looks a little soft. If he gets stronger and leaner and could even run a little bit, that would add a useful element to his game.

I was talking to a woman from Congo. She said she spoke four languages, but when she used to work in a call center, people would get really made at her if her English wasn't perfect. She said she always wanted to say, just once, "Hey dummy, how fluent are you in your fourth language?" I told...

I agree. I'm sure they go in trying to be balanced. You need to shorten the game to have a chance. Maybe your running game does a little better than you thought. It's unlikely, but you need to try. The line is young and can improve. Ohio State has been absolutely killer on third and long...

FYI. I've heard Indiana has come into a lot of NIL $.

It doesn't always work out when you use the portal to transfer to a blueblood. Sometimes their five-star recruit is better than you right out of the gate. Maybe Hughes should have gone to a program like the U of M where he would be more likely to be lead back or at least split carries. Now...

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...
