A Agree! But I worry that we keep naming DCs with no track record as a high-level DC. Nothing against Coach Collins, who has done a great job...just wonder why we are promoting Rossi, Heatherman, and now Collins and are never in the market for a proven commodity. We may have that strong of a...

Both! But mostly trust Fleck! Our last 2 DCs had no experience as a DC at this level. The 1st was good enough to be lured away by MSU, the 2nd was good enough to be lured away by Miami.

LOL! IF the Gophers win their next 4 games.

Earlier this year I thought the Gophers would have a chance at a 17-19 win season and be respectable. No NCAA bid, but maybe the NIT. I thought we had enough pieces, enough depth, and enough experience to be competitive. The last moth has shown me that I VASTLY overrated our team and our...

B No 'Yeah, Buts...' here! Gophers have been great in Bowl Games and have beaten who they have been paired with (which are usually 'on par' with our team/season). When we are OK, we play teams that are OK...and we win. When we are good, we play team that are good....and we win. When we are...

Yes!!! Particularly with what we have done in the portal this time...lost a couple players who could have been contributors (Daniels, Bangura--I 'get it; didn't see the field', but he could have been a contributor this year)...but added WAY more players who are likely to be contributors

I know it is early in the portal season but at this point we have two commits, neither of which may be a big help next year. A back up QB and a non-receiving TE. Should I be concerned?

Satisfying!

In the North Texas and Yale games, our offense was so bad I'm wondering why Caleb Williams didn't get some minutes. Could it get any worse? Williams has proven he can score. Give him some playing time

What hurts about this season isn't the record. When the season started, most of us didn't expect more (or much more) than being 6-5 at this point in the season. I think the prognosticators had us projected to go more like 3-8 or 4-7. What hurts is HOW we lost these games. We were leading...

That's how it felt yesterday in the 1st half as well...Ben is not doing a good job coaching this team. The roster and team both have limitations with Garcia being our only truly consequential player, BUT...this team had me looking forward to the season. 1st time with legitimate depth...

I was just thinking about this today...I would love it if PJ and the Gophers would take a shot on a 'proven' OC. Now Longo might not be the guy...but we have had MAC-level OCs for the entirety of PJ's tenure. Oh how I would love to see us take a shot on a proven OC. Ciarocca may or may not be...

Didn't see the game (or the previous two) d/t them being on paid sites or channels, and live almost 9 hours from Williams Arena, so don't have much 1st hand knowledge...BUT...I remain somewhat optimistic that we'll have a decent season. Prior to the 1st game I thought we might win 19-20 games...

I liked Ted Roof and thought his defenses gave us a chance to win. That has not always true with some of the other defensive coordinators (I'd rather not mention names). A P5 program could do a LOT worse than hiring Ted Roof as their DC.

Great anaysis...and right on! I think you are right when you say we 'have to' or 'must' in your breakdown of our schedule. Unfortunately I don't think we can do that with this years team, which I am very much looking forward to watching and has be excited. I didn't know how many games we were...

I voted for Daniel Jackson. He was amazing yesterday (the 2nd of 2 Gopher games I will see this season considering the 9 hour drive). A vote for Max Brosmer is certainly warranted. He is really good and IMK the best QB we have had since....Marques Gray had a few good games, Mitch Leidner and...

I do not I do not believe we ever have! I get the feeling he could coach our team to beat his and then his team to beat us. He is head-and-shoulders above PJ as a head coach (and I HATE to say that as I have a very very strong distaste for the Illinois coach...despicable person...) It just...

Brosmer has really been impressive the past 3-4 games. It is a delight to have more-than-competent QB play. With the possible exception of 2019 (THE Tanner Morgan year), our QB has been a liability for the last 10+ years. THIS is so much fun!

Agree! I am optimistic about this year's team. 18-20 wins possible. 20 may get us a Tournament bid.

Gophers fall in La-La after big win against the better LA team (sorry)
