PJ has to start opening it up or he'll have losing seasons this year and next. With the West Coast teams in now, Tressel ball won't work.

Great points! The defense held NC to one TD, which should have been enough to win, though who thought they'd get 4 field goals, one from 52 yards? Our offense is at the bottom of the B10 stats out today in rushing, passing, everything. Need a new OC. Simon alone - for the rest of the season?

Arminius, the Gopher OC is Varus.

That two-guys-holding-the-ball-at-the-same-time shtick has to go, as should the long counts. PJ has to force himself to try new approaches - as so many here have pointed out, he can't break with the TOP, short run offense. Gophers rarely have big plays, running or passing.

Pelini was 2-2 against the Gophers.

After six losing seasons and no bowls it most definitely would be. We'd be ecstatic to win 8 or 9 games.

Gophers, 41-13

Something paranormal about it...

Huskers will go to a bowl.

The hot seat should be for the OC. PJ should be in the delegator/CEO role and get top talent at OC and that will make him look good. His game-time coaching has always been suspect.

Only a problem for one year.

Nebraska's million dollar freshman QB, Dylan Raiola, was as good as advertised, hitting 19 of 27 for 238 yards and two TDs, playing two and a half quarters. Matt Rhule built his defense last year - 11th in the nation despite a losing record - and put in his offense this year: the Huskers finally...

Looming over all of this is the unpleasant fact that the expansion of the B10, NIL, and the idiotic transfer rule, all work against middling teams like Minnesota, Indiana, Purdue, Northwestern, Illinois, Maryland, and eventually Iowa and Wisconsin. In a conference with Oregon, Southern Cal, Penn...

The Goophers have a long history of not recruiting top notch QBs.

P.S. Rutgers ran all over poor Howard U, 44-7, while Kaliakmanis added 3 passing TDs, hitting 15 of 24 for 147 yards.

The odd thing is that PJ says out loud what is wrong but can't seem to be able to do anything about it. Brosmer can throw the ball, as we saw at the end, but not in that offense, which is still geared to ball control by running.

PJ just can't put together a passing game - he desperately needs and has needed a really top notch OC, who can bring some imagination to play-calling and can make the best use of Brosmer. Stubbornness and resistance to change are not the hallmarks of a winner.

Their field goal kicker was better than our field goal kicker - which wasn't supposed to happen. It is often said that the biggest improvement is from the first to the second game - hope that happens because losing tonight means winning 6 of the remaining 11 to make a bowl, which won't be easy...

Gophers over NC (going out on a limb here) Nebraska over UTEP LSU over USC (should be close) Notre Dame over Texas Aggies (new coach but will put up a fight - could be close; upset possibility).

Did Nebraska swap Illinois for UTEP? They were scheduled to open with UTEP Aug. 31.
