    How would you feel about the possibility of an 8 team playoff

    So, I’ll throw out an alternative concept. 4 team playoff, but playoffs occur AFTER the bowls. The first round is played at the home stadium of the higher-seeded team. Finals are neutral site as it currently stands. This has a few benefits: 1. Allows for full-power matchups in the NY6. If...

    Starters....

    I was really talking about the 0/1 tech position (nose tackle). Schad is likely our starting 3 tech this year, and I think Cheney is likely to be a 3 tech as well. Richter is intriguing, as is Carter. However, unless Robinson takes a big step forward, I don’t see him playing a meaningful role...

    Starters....

    I agree re: the 1-tech. I think Oliver is out for the year, so I see Sori-Marin starting at MIKE LB and Gordon starting at the SAM LB. We’ve got fantastic athleticism in the LB room right now, so I see Willis seeing time on the field as well. I think Coughlin was playing the role that Mafe will...

    Starters....

    It was the first defense that was built to counter the spread, and the modern 4-2-5 benefits from a lot of the innovations Gary Patterson made at TCU to simplify on-field adjustments (that way teams are less vulnerable to tempo). Where 4-2-5 tends to struggle is against RPO schemes because it’s...

    Starters....

    Correct. We run a 4-2-5 base with the Nickel operating almost like a second strong safety most of the time.

    Who— leidner or Morgan as your QB ?

    I dont think it’s a fair comparison, honestly. Morgan has had better talent around him (especially at receiver), he’s benefited from far better positional coaching (as have his pass catchers), and has played in a much more balanced offensive scheme. Limegrover offenses and P5 football just do...

    Kill addresses previous comments on Fleck: "I said my piece and that was it. I moved on...I said what I said and move on in life."

    I was a student during Kill’s first couple of seasons and had fond memories of him. Unfortunately, his insecurity and passive aggressive public statements have permanently tarnished his reputation in my mind.

    Who is on your Golden Gopher Defensive Back Mount Rushmore?

    Winfield Jr., Carter, Murray, and then a tossup for the last spot IMO.

    ESPN 2020 FPI - Minnesota Gophers Ranked #31

    FPI heavily weights returning production. We lost a big chunk of our starting defense, so the results are unsurprising.

    Chip: When the games come back, will you be there?

    I'm honestly mentally preparing for football to happen as a spring sport this year. Universities cant afford a year without college football after the cancellation of March Madness this year. Budgets are in bad shape. However, with the time needed for players to safely return to the field, I...

    All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

    Anything can happen, but I do see the foundations for something special here: Administration support for football on a level that I cant recall in my lifetime. Gabel and Coyle are true advocates and supporters. Board of Regents support for football as a result is different. Even when PJ's...

    Can/will Seth Green take the next step in his evolution?

    Sorry if my dripping sarcasm wasn't coming through effectively :p We should absolutely diversify our passing offense.

    Week 9: at Ohio State Week 10: vs. Penn State Week 11: at Iowa Week 12: vs. Wisconsin Week 13: vs. Minnesota No bye weeks in between. Absolutely brutal. I like our chances.
