No surprises here in the starter ratings. OT: The Gophers have maximized the talent that they have. IMHO, they need three more impact players in each recruiting cycle. The season rests on the team gelling together and avoiding injuries. Inexperienced depth players are put into service sooner...

The Vikings see the value of TM's lengthy college experience. He is perfect for running the opponent's offense. He has an opportunity to get reps. At best, he gets a shot as a backup. Meanwhile, he is getting a nice paycheck.

They look like a No. 2 Team in the country. They are in a different planet. Be prepared for a spectacle next week.

Can the Gophers run the Option-Play? It will be a nice wrinkle as part of the offensive repertoire.

This. I hope PJ Fleck is paying attention. It is too convenient to entrust a large chunk of the offense to a single back. Develop the trust that your other backs can handle the load. The game today was a great teaching moment for everyone. The Gophers can open up the offense and play to win.

There it is. Run-first Offense. There is no surprise with the low WR production. I'd like to see BSP and Elijah Spencer get their game going. We haven't seen the promise of preseason. The coaches should pay more attention to the receiving game as they do with the running game.

B. Let's see more aggressive play-calling like today's game. The coaches should study the game films of other successful offenses. Crooms (?) and AK were rolling, resulting in a very nice play. Will we see more creativity with the WRs and TEs? Forget about the run-first offense. Mix it up...

The offense needs a ton of help. What is the root of the faltering offense? Is it coaching, talent level, or both? PJ Fleck needs to figure things out. The Big Ten is getting more competitive.

This. The Gophers' Offense lacked creativity. The WR Room drastically needs speed.

Ruh's Chris Steakhouse (10th St & 2nd Ave) is my personal favorite.

They need to figure out how to utilize Zach Evans. Wear-and-tear on Darius Taylor isn't good running him that many times. They need to take advantage of the strengths of the other backs and tailor plays accordingly. After DT got hurt, we had no answer offensively. What was disappointing given...

Things have happened to him that we may never know because of privacy protection. Did any of the local media ask PJ Fleck about Zach Evans?

I walk away from Gopher podcasts and do things with family and friends.

Miracles happen.

That is a little bit of good news moving forward this season.

Memo to PJ Fleck: Please recruit high-level talent aggressively. Wide receivers are on top of that list. The Gophers fall short of the vital ingredient - major impact player(s) that make others around them better. Does the Dinky Town Athletes have deep enough pockets? Now is the time to go to...

I agree—shades of the tOSU loss when Mo was injured. Darius Taylor did not play in the later part of the game. Was he hurt? Northwestern's Defense crushed the Gophers' Offense in the second half. The Gophers were unidimensional. Not utilizing all the weapons at their disposal is a mistake. AK...

Play-calling wasn't dynamic in the second half. How in the world did the Gophers blow a comfortable half-time lead? The Defense collapsed in the second half.

AK's performance and the play calling are horrendous.
