The MVP is the person who scheduled this weak FCS cupcake. Everybody is pumped about the dominance of the Gophers. Get real. As one of my old coaches would say “ you don’t learn how to kill polar bears by clubbing baby seals”. There are still a lot of Polar bears on the Gophers schedule. Win is...

No doubt. They have a 5 star freshman reciever and a 5star freshman running back who are electric. They have 3 backup QBs who all looked good They will lose 1-2 of the QBs to the transfer portal according to my buddy who is a Buckeye fan. Maybe the gophers should open their checkbook for one

Just saw the recap of WMU-OSU 56-0. OSU 683 total yards. WMU-99yds same WmU team that was ahead of Wisc in the 4qtr last week. OSU playing 5 star 2nd and third stringers in the 2nd half. Yikes!

Wisconsin’s last opponent , WMU, down 35-0 at the half to OSU. Buckeyes with 406 yards in the first half. Yikes! Makes Wisconsin’s victory over WMU look pretty pathetic.

Arminian, Rutgers and Maryland suck and haven’t been relevant in the BIG. Read my. Post again.

East Coast College football with the exception of Penn State is notoriously weak. Expect Gophers to roll. Last good team out of the East was BC with Flutie.

Granted. A lot of short passes that set up the run game. Badgers held the ball a lot which eventually wore WMU down. Badger QB was not that impressive but did have some clutch runs.

Wisconsin up 28-14 with 3min down WMu worn down.,They are playing hard. Wisconsin has an air raid offense. Their running game is solid.

My take looks pretty close. Max looked ok at the end when NC went into a prevent. I still think it will take a half season for Max to settle in . Mac’s defense isn’t that great. I’m a little concerned about Max’s elusiveness. Big defenses might be a problem.

Brosmer is not that bad. He is mismatched with the offensive line which doesn’t seem to pass block well. Brisket is not very elusive or mobile. Definite upgrade over AK in the judgment department

it might take a while to the speed and complexities of Big level football. Practice is one thing. Games are another. I predict that his games will be inconsistent.

NDSU- no way. Cousin's kid did play for Mount Union but don't really follow them. Being a successful qb is not all about arm strength. Reading complex defenses and dodging fast rushers is at a whole different level in the Big. One only has to look at Penn States young qb, Top rated QB in HS...

It’s only natural to get excited about shiny new things. One only has to remember how excited people on this forum were last summer about AK. Max padded his stats slinging it when coming behind for a losing team in a 3rd rate FCS league. Top level D3 teams would beat NH. Fast forward to today...

My prediction is 6-6. Untested QB against Div1 defenses is the wildcard. This time last year people on this board were singing the praises of AK. That didn’t age well.

Roll the boat club. 6-0 Wow! Who knew?

Word out of Columbus is that Rob Dallas Hayden is going into portal. He has had flashes including 146 yds and 3tds against Maryland. Currently RB3 on TOSU depth chart. Career avg of 5.1ypc. Should the Gophers go after him strong?

1-8 in Big is a bit rough. OTOH pinning your hopes on a QB from a second tier league where his stats were inflated because his team was behind a lot is a leap of faith. 6-6 record will be a good outcome in 2024

Chip Kelly rumored to be taking 3 of his top players to Ohio State. The rich get richer. Fleck might consider hanging around Columbus. OSU is going to have some quality cast offs soon.

Has anyone considered a completely different take? Like maybe Fleck’s agent is stirring the pot about UCLA’s interest. One way to get your client a raise and new contract from Minnesota after a 5-7 record.

So I was off for 2023. I predicted a tie for first in the west at 8-4. 2024- 7-5 is a realistic goal.
