Injuries - the bane of Gopher Football

Athletes as paid university employees, real student-athletes, and pay-to-play were brought up in addition to unfair advantages created by NIL run amok. Universities have no control or don't want to. Congress has much bigger fish to fry than tackling NIL.

The Gophers need to win a few games.

Gophers, don’t feel so bad.

It is bothersome that the Gophers continue to lose games like that. I agree. They need that killer-instinct non-vanilla flavor.

The Gophers need a killer instinct on offense. Loosen up the offensive philosophy. Do not be afraid of failure.

The problem that I see is it is difficult to recruit to MN due to its geography and weather reputation. PJ Fleck has made in-roads and he brought Gopher Football to respectability. It is not enough. The Gophers need more four-star caliber players. Maryland, Rutgers, Purdue, and Indiana are...

I get worried when the "Koi Perich Commit to the Gophers!!!!!!!!" thread perks up. We need him. If you have been there in the seventies and recently, the Los Angeles basin has changed dramatically. You can understand the out-migration from CA in general. Maybe PJ Fleck can recruit the greater...

The Gophers have one of the toughest schedules. Every MI faced got blown out. The players should holds their heads high. There are valuable lessons learned as pointed out. There’s plenty to upgrade or fix. Okay. They miss the dynamic play calling of KC. Our lost is Rutger’s gain. PJ needs...

The NFL is at the pinnacle of football. Many good college football players will never have the chance. At least TM got a taste. Ko Kieft is a great story. He was ready for his next career when Tampa Bay came calling in Round 6.

The Gophers will rebound. PJ Fleck has a lot of figuring out to do. The talent gap is evident against Michigan. The Gophers need to rachet up recruiting. It is a combination of things that need to be worked on. Coaching, dynamic offensive scheme, recruiting.

Minnesota got schooled by a far superior Michigan team with better talent, coaching, and depth.

AK has the disadvantage of not having many game reps due to injuries and the COVID-19 pandemic in high school. Drew Viotto and Drake Lindsey both have many HS game reps. He needs time to mature and develop at the cost of a dismal season. I don't think it is all about him. Coaching, the...

PJ Fleck made the Gophers competitive and instilled fun for many who suffered throughout the years past Glen Mason. Moving forward with NIL and the new Big Ten, the Gophers are at a disadvantage in recruiting at a higher level and money. They have to change and adapt. I don't know what the...

Do you remember PJ's zig-zag chart? If Zig is down, the Gophers are in a down year.

PJ Fleck and the Gophers are doomed if they don’t recruit at a higher level. Nebraska, Purdue, Nebraska, and Wisconsin all have improved. Iowa has always been tough.

It is unfortunate that the Gophers are playing MI before the Iowa game. They are worn down playing against a team with deep talent. The Gophers may be looking at 5th place in the final Big Ten West season.

The MI/NE game result is a clue.

I agree. Get DT healthy for the Iowa Game down the road.

Experience through failure will pay dividends for the green players down the road. Unfortunately, weaknesses in Defense are bound to be exploited. Hopefully, these players get better sooner with more playing time to salvage some victories.
