I don’t get Gopher participation reports. Does anybody in GH know whether transfer RBs Manghan or Bangura are getting playing time? Saw one run by Mangham (15 yards) and haven’t noticed him since. Don’t recall seeing Bangura get any play recently. Actually, can’t recall seeing Jordan Nubin much...

Maryland recruits a lot of good offensive skill players. Can explode on offense against any team that lets its defensive guard down. Against P5 opponents this year: Gophers are averaging 20.0 points on offense; Maryland is averaging 25.4 points. On defense, the Gophers are yielding and average...

I almost always root against Nebraska, too. But I'd like to see some team hang a loss on Coach Cignetti in his "Year Zero." He's got the Hossiers at 6-0 and ranked pretty high. He is upsetting the established order of the Universe.

Feagin is a load: 6’3” 250 lbs. Can’t be arm tackled! Replacement is Josh McCray: 6’ 1” 235 lbs. Pretty much the same deal. Bert likes them big, I guess,

Nebraska vs Indiana should be a hood game.

I like AK; he has great arm talent, which you can't teach. But after many B1G starts, he still lacks touch and field awareness, and isn't good a going through progressions--things you can teach. Brosmer has a less lively arm, but excels in field awareness and has great touch. And, on the...

Yes, but for two special team blunders: (1) if we make just one of the two missed FGs against UNC, and (2) don't yield a blocked punt deep in Michigan's red zone, winning out would definitely put us in the Playoffs. (Sorry, this point already made earlier, while I was typing). Amazing to think...

I'd like to think so too, but there is the Curse of Bert that PJ has got to break. This year's Illinois team is better than last year's ... and Bert (or PJ) found a way to put yet another W in the Illinois column last year. If the Gophs win the next three games, meaning they are eligible for a...

Check out WI's running game against Rutgers. Watch the highlights; review the box score. Tawee Walker (transfer from Miss St?) is Mo Ibrahim--5-8, 215--except with breakaway speed. Probably why Melluzi left the team. The way we've played against the run so far this year, I don't think WI will go...

He needs another 10-15 pounds first ... still growing. It will happen.

Paul Giel, a Heisman runner-up, was from Winona, I believe. Great baseball player as well as footballer.

Punt returns can make huge field position and momentum shifts. And Koi has a gift. I'd keep him on punt returns. Might take him off KO returns.

B -- A win is great, not complaining. Come from behind wins are especially satisfying, because those have historically has been a huge problem for PJ's teams. But the offense was unprepared mentally or strategically, and out of sync, for the entire first half of the game. Still having trouble...

UCLA with 105 yards of penalties, which made up for our offensive yardage deficit. Also UCLA yielded 3 interceptions—two by Koi. That’s the game. Go Gophers.

I think he may be injured …

Wasn’t a long field goal. It was medium length at best. Chip shot for any kicker except one with the yips.

At half, our offense is averaging 2.9 yards per play; UCLA is averaging 5.5 yards. Can’t come from behind averaging under 3 yards per play. We’re lucky to only be down 10. Defense needs to be stout in 2nd half. Give our offense a short field or two, please. And IC has to change mindset: use...

I think our O looks way more out of sync than D .., back to very predictable play calling. It was really interesting to watch the offenses in Illinois vs Purdue. But we are still in the game. If we can score 24 on USC, we shouldn’t get shut out by UCLA.

Need an explosive play or two on this drive.
