Trying to use her as a six rotation player was one of the more curious coaching decisions I've seen.

I was just thinking the same thing with respect to the long return. People keep pointing out we were a missed FG away from winning it, but we were that play away from not even being in it at the end. That cuts both ways.

I feel like the theory behind conservative, control the clock strategy is that it prevents you from making mistakes that would cost you a game you are favored in, and let you hang around long enough to steal one (possibly by capitalizing on a mistake) against a top tier team you "shouldn't"...

Schaffmaster and Hanson both looked great. I'm not just excited that we logged a win against the number 1 team, but (the awful 4th set meltdown aside), we really looked like we can beat them. Sometimes in an upset, it feels like a team gets some breaks, or catches the opponent on an off...

BOOM!!!!

If the point is whether or not we won the game impacts how we feel about it, then I'll concede that point. If we had hit on the winning field goal as time expired, it probably would have helped masked a really concerning offensive performance.

They have the longest bowl drought of any P5 team I think. For a program as bad as Nebraska, 7-9 wins would be a cute little feel good season for the little engine that could.

That's always an interesting philosophical question for me. For me winning titles (college conference, NCAA, or pro championship) go a long way to letting me put up with bad seasons. I've been in MN since 2006, and the most sports fun I've had have been the Lynx titles (was fortunate enough to...

He certainly has had the easiest path to playing in a conference title game (and it is shocking we didn't pull that off at least once). Mason probably had an easier path to winning a big ten title in the pre-division era.

I'd start with the list of OCs who have more than 120 yards through three quarters this week and narrow it from there.

We had 120 yards of offense through 3 quarters. If our offense plays slightly below average instead of awful, the game doesn't come down to a field goal.

Unfortunately we seem to be on the wrong side of those "catch the better team napping" games more often than the right one. Feels like we've had a handful of games we lost as 7+ points favorites (the most notable being Bowling Green, and i think at least once each to purdue and illinois). Our...

His body of work here is still good enough that talk of firing him in the immediate future is asinine. I am getting more concerned. It felt like, when we had some better rosters, avoidable mistakes with in game coaching prevented solid to good seasons from being good to great ones (even in...

This is Fleck ball.

We don't want plays of over 40 yards. When those happen, we score too fast and lose our ability to control the clock.

PJ seems to struggle coming up with an offense when he can't lean on an NFL caliber receiver inherited from the previous regime.

Yeah, that was my thought process. Basically a wash in passing, but Leidner added another dimension running. If you lined them up side by side at a draft combine type event, I'm sure I'd take AK, but somehow his higher passing skill didn't translate into effectiveness.

If you think it's close between AK and Leidner, are you basing that on what you think AK will do going forward? Because I don't think it's a particularly close call when comparing how well Leidner played the position for us (including the running component) and how well AK did last year. I...

F If we work our way to the NCAA bubble and miss out, we shouldn't complain one bit if we think we get snubbed. This is a major self-inflicted wound.

Wasn't the promise of expanding to 5 teams that, since it was assumed to be implausible to have 5 undefeated P5 champs, being an undefeated P5 champ would guarantee you a spot?
