All correct, which necessitates a review of the three already-used TOs by Fleck. Were all three used well?

Hard to believe there was not a definitive camera view of a simple sideline play. Replay showed the toe down in bounds but the heel at least being on the line and probably over it.

One of those was handed to them by the officials, not the Gophers. On the intercepted ball against Jackson the defenders foot came down out of bounds. It was not a turnover.

Recruit better athletes. The other guys are faster and stronger and they also have strength and conditioning coaches.

Well, that bad call also led to a Michigan score.

First half horizontal passing game is a direct result of offensive line being pushed like little kids seven yards back and in Brosmer's face before he can look at the field.

Was the onside kick offside the worst call of the day though? The first half Michigan interception where the defender's toe came down first inbounds and his heel either hit the line or was over it appeared to be an obvious incorrect call. Yet, they reviewed it and said it was correct...

Speeding up the offense is not an adjustment, it is a strategy. When the defensive front is stronger than your people it is sometimes a way to neutralize them by speeding up and tiring them out, not allowing them to sub. That was good coaching.

And somebody commented we should replace our starters with the "bigger" guys.

We haven't seen the dominant tight end blocking as in the past few years but how many more games might we have won last year had AK been throwing to Jimmy Geers instead of BSF?

Who you got bigger than Striggow, Eastern, Logan-Redding, Smith, and Jah?

Ten yards a carry also means somebody missed a tackle as he was two or three yards through the hole. In reality, a lot of his yards came getting around the edge because Iowa excelled on blocking out there. Their blockers beat our defenders.

The other thing that slows down the offensive line development is three and outs and standing on the sidelines.

It's on the guys on the field who are being pushed around and dominated. Coaching and blocking schemes have not changed.

This is entirely correct. Brosmer is the best QB we have had here in a long time with the exception of Tanner's great year in 2019 with two exceptional receivers. It is just difficult for fans to grasp that our strength for many years -- the offensive line -- is now poor. We are so used to...

Excellent observation from a guy who watches the game on TV up on his tiptoes while standing on a peach crate.

In those stretches where he was really good -- ten straight completions, for example -- was there anything you noticed to explain it? Did you notice that he had time to see the field and work through progressions? Most quarterbacks are as good as their protection allows them to be. Brosmer is...

Against Michigan at the Big House? Behind our offensive line?

Recruiting is weak under Fleck, both because coordinators and other assistant coaches don't have reputations to match schools we are competing against, and because Fleck presents himself as inflexible and more interested in babbling dogma than coaching football. A good recruit is going to want...

5. You watch the other team just physically maul your players and realize we don't recruit the talent they do.
