Darnold's perceived poor decision-making is a hot topic today. But, before we get too worried, maybe we should consider the following: Patrick Mahomes has thrown 8 touchdown passes vs. 9 interceptions in 225 passing attempts this season. Sam Darnold has thrown 17 touchdown passes vs. 7...

How much should we care?

If all that's necessary is the threat of the deep ball, then I'd make the argument that Brosmer can supply that threat. Is Max a great deep thrower? Probably not. Is he capable of connecting on a deep throw? Absolutely. If there's a fair chance he can complete one deep, then the threat of the...

There must be some mistake. I've been told he's average. Also: 'not a stud'. Maybe I've been misinformed...

Looks like we got 14 votes... and Iowa got 13.

I wonder if there's some way to track completion percentages on deep throws, in comparing different college QBs. My gut tells me that very few college QBs complete a high percentage of deep throws, but I have no data to back up that feeling. I also sometimes feel like we fans have a tendency...

Sounds like OSU has been bitten hard by the injury bug on the offensive line. Down two at left offensive tackle. They were only able to run for 64 yards vs. Nebraska. The Cornhuskers held them to 285 total yards and only 11 first downs. And... Penn State is second in the B1G in total defense...

Okay, got it. Thanks for clarifying for me. I'm not a bettor so I follow this stuff only casually. That being the case, the "sharps" or the "smart money" bettors have already weighed in, then.

You're saying no more movement is possible, or likely, or allowed?

Yes. That being said, the line as it is currently set does a fairly good job in the short passing offense. And, while I loved Brevyn Spann-Ford, I must say I believe Geers is actually a better pass catcher. Smoother and more fluid, to my eye.

That's a great question. I keep waiting for that point spread to move. Don't the gamblers say that "the sharps" usually bet later on?

Me. too! I'd love to see an SEC team play the Gophers at Huntington Bank Stadium in December, in a playoff game!

Or, we could choose a different way of looking at it, and simply enjoy the resulting success.

You're saying they aren't good?

Just a missed kick (North Carolina) and a bad call (Michigan) from being 7-1. Not to mention the fact that we were leading Iowa 14-7 at halftime.

Just a guess, nothing more, but: gold helmet / white jersey / gold pants. It might be fun to see white helmet / white jersey / with either gold or maroon pants. I really like the white helmets.

The service academies, as of today: ARMY: 7-0, ranked #21 NAVY: 6-1 AIR FORCE: 1-6 Total: 14-7

Another example of being flexible and adaptable based on personnel: Darius Taylor played both running back and wide receiver in high school. He has been a valuable asset in the Gophers short passing game this season. I'm not sure it would have been a good idea to have tried to utilize Mo...

This is an important weekend for the 'middle-tier' B1G teams — Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan are all 3-2, and they have some key matchups, including two head-to-head. Wisconsin @ Iowa Minnesota @ Illinois Oregon @ Michigan So this 'middle tier' should begin to sort itself out...

Fleck's main QBs at Minnesota: Tanner Morgan Athan Kaliakmanis Max Brosmer --- How would you design your offensive game plan with each of these? Would you decide — in advance — that you were going to run a pass-heavy offense, no matter what your personnel's strengths and weaknesses, or...
