I agree, but there needs to be improvement on the OL and we have to get a WR that can stretch the field. Stevens can likely make an impact in the return game and his speed could be useful (probably out of the slot). It's too bad the Voss isn't an early enrollee, but I can't blame him for...

It isn't possible. I effed up.

That's all true, but it seems the decisions often don't fall in line within the context of the game. The counterargument to my point is O'Connell probably thought he had to think outside the box and somehow get a lead when in a situation to do so with Max under center and hope the defense could...

Ever since Dan Campbell started going for it on 4th-and-whatever, every coach in the league seems to think he has to do the same thing regardless of game situation. Take the points there and hope your defense can keep you in the game. Can't assume the field goal would have been good (although...

It sounds counter-intuitive but I was seeing someting similar to what O'Connell was saying. Brosmer was getting a little jumpy and not letting plays develop. Of course, the Seahawks were all over him so he had good reason to rush things or get sacked twice as many times as he did. I thought...

Wasn't Butler the guy who would argue with fellow Dinkytown bargoers and sometimes disparage Brewster's coaching ability to said assembly?

Totally agree. Pre-portal and to a great extent now, Northwestern keeps its players in the program and every now and then has a recruiting class that develops and puts up a stellar season (by their standards). They've been up and down, but they always play hard and smart. The consistent...

Didn't know that about Williams. Thanks for clueing me in.

I'm way old and Vince Lombardi is rolling in his grave. Ever since Dan Campbell started going for in on 4th-and-whatever it's become a rage around the league. I don't care if you are home or away or playing on a neutral field, given the QB situation you really have to take the points down...

Something has to happen on defense. Team was great at racking up sacks, but the yardage they gave up doesn't lie. I don't know that's due to coaching, overall talent, or just a bad mix of talent.

Interesting and well-researched list. Here are my reactions. (1) I don't believe Kollack will leave seeing he's burned his redshirt and probably wouldn't garner much interest because he didn't take a snap this year. That said, QBs want to play. He was well-scouted and well-regarded in high...

I have had the same thought. Scouts know about him, but being at a school with higher visibility (perceived or real) might up his profile.

Geez. Right after Palmer's Bar closed. Think of the marketing partnership!

Smith and his advisors must be more confident than I am. Unless he blows up at the combine, he's currently looking like a Day 3 prospect.

Agree. Can't be going back to Square One every year. Maybe it was because of injuries or holes in recruiting, but I thought the football team could have done better this off-season in repairing the O-line.

I gave them a B. It was going to be a transitional year with a redshirt freshman QB. Blew leads against California and Northwestern and it's hard to look past that. Win those and I probably give them an A-. Just some bad work in the portal regarding the O-line. Improved O-line has to be job...

Like him or not (I tend to land in the "not like" column), Bielema had a string of great offensive linemen during his time at Wisconsin and I'm guessing Ragnow considered that when making his college choice.

Not Denaburg.

I think the recruit that flipped to Michigan State was a LB named Jones (first name--and in truth perhaps the last name--escape me). Didn't we also lose Robbinsdale Armstrong WR David Gilreath in that coaching change or was that later?

Tony Rice was considering the Gophers (I don't know if he fully committed) when Holtz was coaching, but he followed Holtz to Notre Dame.
