? They're replacing Drake Maye. The new guy's first game is on the road against a B1G opponent.

I might take that… this season is gonna be such a wild card. I could see this game being tight or a blowout in either direction

Sorry, yeah to be clear. My 'System II' thought is that the Gophers will lose: https://gopherhole.com/boards/threads/sp-implied-lines-2024-minnesota.114950/#post-2941017 My 'System I' thought is that Athan Kaliakmanis was most of the problem with the Gopher offense last year and trying to...

I bet that Fleck will have this game circled with all the noise about Fleck + UCLA this year. Also, this is a UCLA team with a first time head coach that just lost Chip Kelly who runs a very unique set of systems. I just cannot imagine that they’re going to be world beaters this year but who knows.

I don’t think that title ix would hold up to a court challenge right now

We all know this is going to end up with players getting paid, a union, and a CBA. Let’s just rip the bandaid.

If any other developer made this I might think about it, but not EA. It will be riddled with micro transactions.

Sure doesn't. Returning production, recent recruiting, and recent history. It's a wild guess just like everything else right now, but I like it because it takes an impartial view. Minnesota has 85th-best offense, and 22nd-best defense in the scores reflected above. Expected to score 23.3 points...

Few places in the game where he's throwing off the back foot like that. When he steps into the throw seems much more accurate. They also run an offense that looks pretty similar to KC's so hopefully that helps ease transition. No idea how he's going to play in August, but still think this was...

Yeah, other than the usual suspects (a couple of warmup games + Michigan & Penn State), there are not many two-score lines in that list.

Went through and looked at some of the SP+ numbers for 2024. Pretty surprised to see that Minnesota would be tentative dogs to Rutgers (SP+ really likes their defense). Also surprised to see touchdown favorites against UNC. I would guess that a lot of that stems from losing Drake Maye. Also...

Minnesota should have been a five win team last year and then replaced their quarterback and defensive coordinator in the offseason. It would be absurd to expect third party writers to give them the benefit of the doubt.

People should scoff: It was illegal to pay players Alabama and LSU took advantage of that by paying them anyway It's now legal to pay players Now, Alabama and LSU can't take advantage of the system because the playing field is even These coaches are crying because they can't cheat anymore. I...

There were times he would just heave the ball downfield in Bateman’s direction and hope for the best. When he kept doing that without Bateman on the field, it became a problem.

I can tell you that I did not think that AK was an upgrade over TM. AK was not capable of placing a ball as accurately, as quickly, with as much touch as that clip above. That pass alone would have won the game against Northwestern.

"better than AK" makes the Gophers an 8-win team against a very tough schedule last year. I'm happy if the Gophers are beating the teams in their weight class. Unless someone is going to step in and elevate the Gophers the way Nike elevated Oregon, I'm not going to be concerned about what they...

We know he's better than what we watched last year. I can tell you that just from the clip above.

I am certain that if Minnesota backed up a dump truck full of cash to Smart's house then he would be wearing a maroon shirt by the end of the day. Everyone works for money. PJ just happens to be probably the best deal that fits in Minnesota's preferred budget.

Yeah, I mean, I believe that players improve. And he well might, but he has had bad ball placement every time I have watched him play in college and it looks like Rutgers hasn’t fixed that. I didn’t understand why people liked him at MN and I still don’t understand why people like him at Rutgers.
