    WHO HATES IOWA?

    Iowa's offense is pedestrian. They put up high numbers vs Illinois State (FCS, 2-1) and Troy (Sun Belt, 0-3) but those are teams that a B1G team should be at handily. When they played Iowa State, their only P4 game so far, they only put up 19 points. I think it's safe to say our defense is...

    ** How Many Games Will the Gopher Win? ** Pulse Vote After Crushing Nevada

    I'm voting 8+ From what I've seen from the defense so far, and the slow, but noticable improvements in the offense, I think the following games are all reasonably within reach for us to win: Iowa UCLA Maryland Illinois Rutgers Wisconsin Win all of them, and we're at 8 wins. I also think it's...

    ***OFFICIAL NEVADA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Justing Walley is not listed out on the Availability report, but I saw him on the sidelines without pads.

    ***OFFICIAL NEVADA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Not a great half for our offense, but I'm happy to see us actually push to score a TD before the half ends rather than run the clock out.

    ***OFFICIAL NEVADA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Honestly I think it's the OL that has held us back so far. If we had more push and we were able to rely on the run a bit more I think we score there.

    And then wasn't on for the rest of the drive.... I hope that was precautionary and not indicative of him reaggravating or reinjuring something....

    Who is your Gopher "Pick to Click" in the Nevada game?

    Gonna go out in a limb and say the OL. I think they finally fix whatever has been going wrong and we see some big running lanes opened up for our RBs and that Max has plenty of time to pass (maybe even goes the whole game without needing to scramble to avoid a sack!). I really hope I'm right.

    Predict the Score Thread: Nevada at Minnesota

    I think our defense gets another shutout. Maybe that's delusional to think but whatever. I do think they give our offense a bit more of a challenge both because they aren't FCS like Rhode Island, but also because now that we've shown we are willing to throw it a lot teams will start to try to...

    Gophers' Fleck calls Darius Taylor 'One of the best in the country' (video)

    I thought the same. I wonder if it was a situation of him being cleared to play by the medical staff, but it's maybe still bothering him a little or since he's been recovering it's not back to 100%? I know that for a lot of less severe injuries, you can be cleared to go back to full activity...

    Max Brosmer produced the best passing grade in the nation in Week 2

    YES. I think this will pay dividends later in the season. If you only target 1 or 2 players regularly for passes it's easy for defenses to double cover them and dare you to throw elsewhere. If you consistently spread the ball around to many different players defenses have a harder job, even if...

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Crush Rhode Island

    If the OL can shore up their pass blocking, and improve in opening lanes for the RBs, our offense would be SO dangerous. Oh, and if the WRs could stop dropping good passes that hit them in the hands. I think it's possible, especially with one more tune up game before B1G play, and with Iowa...

    ***OFFICIAL RHODE ISLAND AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    But we dominated them like we should have. The past couple of years have been filled with games against bad teams that we win, but just barely, so this is a welcomed change.

    What grade do you give Gophers coaches in win over Rhode Island?

    Covered the spread, shutout, second strings got almost a full quarter of playing time that wasn't just running out the clock. Hard to grade it anything other than an A. The OL still concerns me a bit. Pass protection broke down a few times (though less than last week and Brosmer handled it...

    3rd shutout in the Bank since it opened.

    This team is unrecognizable! A passing TD, by the second string QB, when we're up 41-0??????
