Yup. I thought that series and the first after half were so critical and indicative of the mindset shift. They had a game plan to be aggressive in the passing game both b/c Maryland pass D is suspect and their O actually can score quickly, and they stuck with the plan. I was shocked they came...

Minnesota 26 Maryland 20

100% agree. B1G is gonna have a TON of 5-7 win teams.

I’m planning to upgrade my DA membership tier to take advantage of this. I’ve been super happy with the work of Derek Burns and that crew. Hearing him talk on the Gopher Gridiron podcast and then reading the Discord for members gives me a ton of confidence we’re making a difference people.

Minnesota MSU A&M Kentucky

Yeah I was going to mention that as well, but I’m glad to see some thinking people on here. It’s a cute line to keep saying “year 0, year 0”, but when you can bring all your good players along PLUS a bunch of others from the portal, it’s really not the same as it was. I think they’re starting...

Yeah, I just looked at their schedule and they need to win 3 of Rutgers, Wash, UCLA, Nebraska, ND. I’m guessing they’ll do that, but probably JUST will. Really is crazy how tight the middle of the B1G is this year. Mich, USC, MN, Maryland, Rutgers, Wash, MSU…on and on. Any given Saturday (or...

Nebraska has OSU, UCLA, USC, Wisconsin, and Iowa left. I’m guessing they’ll win at least 1 of those to get bowl eligible, but it’s not unthinkable they lose out. Who would’ve predicted that a few weeks ago? On that note, Michigan needs 2 wins against OSU, Oregon, IU, MSU, and NW to get bowl...

“Tier 3” in the B1G is at least 10 teams deep…and it’s crazy to think Michigan and USC are firmly in the middle of it.

IU Texas Miami Illinois

Lotta people giving Harbaugh flowers this year. Mentioned multiple times by the crew during the USC game (i.e, “that play is straight out of an NFL playbook” or similar). Derek Burns pointed out the halftime adjustments against UCLA, including using Taylor to draw LBs out of the box and then...

I’ve been saying it every week, but after Oregon, OSU, PSU, and Iowa, the margin between the rest of the B1G appears to be razor thin. Illinois looked like a bully early in the year and has come back to earth. Ditto Rutgers. Michigan is mortal. Ditto Washington. Indiana might be #5, but I...

I dunno. I was actually thinking the other day that it seems like the gap at the very top is the same as always. OSU and Oregon seem head and shoulders above everyone else in the B1G, just like OSU and Mich were last year. Texas seems at another level in the SEC, much like they were in the...

Johnson was one of the surprises of Rams camp and got called out by McVay multiple times. Had a really nice week 1 and a decent week 2. I really thought he’d grab a big role with both Puka and Kupp out, but that never materialized for whatever reason. Still grabbing an NFL paycheck though, so...

Spot on. Someone can do the stats pretty easily using FPI, but I think 6-6 is most likely followed by 7-5, 5-7, 8-4, 9-3, and 4-8.

I had to look up the FIrst Responder’s Bowl since I’m seeing so many projections. It used to be called Heart of Dallas bowl and was affiliated with the B1G. It’s now played at SMU and will be held on 1/3/25. B1G affiliation went away before the most recent contract an last year Texas St...

Did he ask the ref if he was on the line? That’s typically how it goes — turn to the ref, signal you intend to be on the LOS, and you get a yes or no. If he didn’t and was 1.5 yards off, then it absolutely should’ve been a penalty.

It was a super disappointing season, and I think Fleck deserves some of the blame…and I won’t begrudge you for assigning him more than I (or others) do. But in retrospect, it’s tough to win games with a pretty awful QB and your top offensive player hurt much of the B1G season. Plus the defense...

Minnesota Iowa PSU OSU

Absolute STUD and has been for a while. I agree with Noel that Jah gets held a TON but still has multiple big pressures per game. He’s definitely going to be drawing an NFL check a year from now. Edge players are just so valuable at that level. Let’s enjoy these last 6-7 games with him!
