Gophers need a master class in tackling - atrocious today. Plus Badgers have a better QB, a better running back and a better defense. 5-7 will be a truly bad season, a failure on coaches, especially.

Braelin Allen averaging 5 yards a carry, Nubin, 2.8; the ground game is not our thing today. Too many plays wasted.

Wisconsin has the momentum and will get the ball to start. Mordecai has all day and when he runs, he gives the Gophers fits. Too many Gopher plays wasted on short runs. Let AK be a gunslinger, show Badgers what they don't expect, although I'm not high on Hail Mary passes, which almost never...

Sloppy tackling by Gophers on Wisconsin's long drive, players easily juked, look slow, not adept in the open field.

Demoralizing to call a run up the middle on 3rd and 17. You're giving up possession.

Really hurts. Why so many injuries to running backs year after year, with top three or even top four unable to play at times?

Dropping the East-West Divisions is utterly stupid and a finger in the eye of fans. Who cares if you are 16th of 18th or even 11th of 18. There is little or no motivation for fans. The TV money greed is driving traditional regional conferences into the ground to create two or three super...

Seventh straight losing season for Nebraska, which fired Solich after a 9-3 season, then spiraled down with six different coaches, hitting nadir with Frost. 5-7 is a disappointment for Rhule, but defense has improved.

Hawks at 10-2 is an accomplishment, especially considering how bad their QB is, and while the Barry Alvarez era at Wisconsin is over, the Hayden Fry era is still solid at Iowa. We should be so lucky - Iowa has had continuity with only two coaches over 44 years while the U of M has had ten.

Colorado is 4-7, but many of their losses were very close. Better next year.

Impressive. And we rebuilt Memorial Stadium. Seats only 35k, though, but that may be realistic.

Temper and health aside, as a football coach Kill is dedicated and a winner overall (remember Northern Illinois, among others). What I remember most often from the Kill/Claeys era was how tough they were on defense when playing top 20 teams, usually losing but close. For example against #1 Ohio...

A lot of work. Thanks.

It really is sad that the portal is becoming as important as traditional recruiting. Go back to sitting out a year and that would remedy some of it.

Yes, any system will work if you have the talent - but that comes down to recruiting.

I've also wondered about what you point out about winning the easy ones by running them into the ground, when he could be developing other aspects of the game, giving his reserve QB some action, tinkering with the passing game. He's like the old-time coaches who thought a four-yard run was the...

Kill's team is 9-3 and beat Auburn 31-10.

Looks like both.

We need a QB who can move the team. Right now our essentially freshman QB can't do it. He's at 52% for season completions. Not acceptable.
