Gopher rushing totals: 35 against Rutgers, 68 against Ohio State, 30 against Purdue (Purdue!), 24 (one yard per carry) against Iowa. So why not use the corrupt system now in place and go buy a couple of 5* running backs from other teams? The new transfer rule is perfect for such corruption.

Angry college team plays a lackluster jr college team.

F. The Gophers looked like they were not ready to play and Iowa (and its fans) looked like they were high on something. No contest. Humiliation. We have one running back - if he's out, that's it (and he's the only running back who can catch the ball). We don't have the depth to play in an...

It's recruiting. The Gophers are playing a freshman at QB and have only one running back - Taylor. When he's out they can't run and they can't throw to the running backs. The Gophers just don't have the talent to play in an 18-team league. If they had divisions - and it's criminal that they...

What is it with these blah white uniforms on the road? The School colors are maroon and gold. Road uniforms should be gold & white or maroon and white. Besides, why do I think the Gophers will be clobbered today, PJ being 1-7 against Ferentz?

Iowa 31 Gophers 30

A wise guy. Gopher football has been respectable since Mason's first year, 1997, when he almost beat Paterno's Penn State and had the first valid All-American player since 1972. The Gophers could have been described as "a joke" in the earlier '90s, maybe even all the way back to Warmath's...

Is that the future? Indiana-Mich St, the week Indiana became #3, its highest rank ever, and its coach given a fabulous contract, was available on Peacock Premium only; likewise, Penn State -Iowa, a major game of the season, the week Coach Franklin was fired, also is available only on Premium...

Near perfect game: first half 9 out of 10; second half, a 10! Husker fans on chat lines down on Rhule, Penn State chat line fans don't want him, either - they watched our game.

Nebraska football chat lines full of contempt for Rhule tonight, grudging respect for Coach Fleck (they really don't like him, now 1-7 against him) and Penn State chat lines down on Rhule almost unanimously.

"Establish the Run" - stupid, stupid, stupid and so predicable. Throw on first down, second down, third down - that was the way to start. The only way the Gophers are going to run tonight is if the passing game opens things up.

Eventually, half the team will be transfers - some players at their third or even fourth schools. No loyalty to teams, fellow players, coaches, schools, much less academic majors. The wealthy will buy entire teams and most schools, including Minnesota, will not be able to keep up with the...

Nebraska Missouri Vanderbilt BYU

With those QBs it could be a kind of wild shootout game, but defense and special teams may decide it along with the team with the stronger running game - so Nebraska 34, Gophers 24.

PJ is a 60% winner, the best since pre-WWII Bierman. But a national championship will never happen. With no divisions to win, we should be happy with what we have.

How did PJ not recruit "Mr. Football" Emmet Johnson, from Minneapolis, who is now Nebraska's top runner, a pass catcher and an All-B10 Academic, and one of the best rushers in the B10? It took him awhile to mature, but his style is exactly what the Gopher running game needs this year. With their...

The Gophers under Kill and Mason were not "mediocre."

It also needs some divisions so that teams have something to play for.

Nebraska's coach, Rhule - played for Paterno at Penn State, had three years with the AD at another school and they are close. Nebraska may be playing to "win one for the coach" Friday night.

Great to see it - the team had spirit, right down to the end, especially Drake and Koi. Nebraska is ranked for the first time in a while (#25, Writers Poll). Let's pull an upset in an exciting night game! To run the ball , put a Volkswagen in the offensive line.
