    Dragan Kesich = Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week.

    His monster 49 yarder was cathartic. PJ had a lot of nice things to say about the games he won in the past and how he wasn’t hesitant to send Dragan out to kick.

    Every once in a while you get a game where a team does that and they seem compelled to roll the dice again if the miss it… now you’re either even or down further. Early gambles just don’t make sense.

    As if someone at the Gophers media team is watching ... they posted this just now: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2VMdcAOiN-M

    But has PJ TRIED a 3 point conversion? How will we ever know if we don't at least TRY!?!!?!?!

    My only disagreement with these is how generalized they are. I feel like if you had a similar article about when to run a QB sneak ... it doesn't account for say "Yo we know we suck at QB sneaks." I bet similar numbers would have had us go for it on 4th down at UCLA, but we trusted our defense...

    Illinois Point Spread

    When your money is on the line ... sometimes you think a little more logically. -------------- A company once setup a betting pool of sorts where you could predict the success of a given project. If you were right you made more money, wrong, you made less money (every person was given a free...

    Gophers 6.5 point favorites against Rutgers.

    If Rutgers is banged up as much as they say, I get the points. Still ... this team shouldn't look past ANYONE.

    fake punt call in the illinois game

    Fake punts either work because the receiving team doesn't notice. Or you're toast. It's not speed as much as if they notice, it's over.

    Is Rutgers a Possible Trap Game?

    -Koi and Walley begin to drool- Seriously though, does anyone feel like our defense generally has committed to a "stack the box all day long" or "pass D all day long" this year? Feels like our defense has played well, AND not had to make massive run D or pass D type shifts. Very impressive.

    I feel like that just sorta assumes ... you don't have much faith in scoring more than once. "Probably won't see another possession." or just "X possessions" But if you do you risk short changing yourself.

    The Illinois game last weekend really drove home the weird conundrum that can happen regarding going for a 2pt conversion. 1. With 5:44 to go the gophers score a TD to go up 22 to 17 with the extra point(s) try pending. 2. They're up just 5, so you gotta go for 2 to extend the lead to 7...

    Schiano Gives Injury Update

    I don’t know if it is excuses. If 6 defensive starters are out… it is what it is.

    Post Game Thread: Gophers BEAT Bielema!!! Win 4 Straight!!

    Taylor out to the left looked a little like the UCLA play ... except Brosmer throws it to the right this time. Credit to Illinois, they had a dude on Taylor.

    Bowl eligible!

    We stayed there for the Outback bowl and drove up to Tampa, easy drive, great game.

    History of teams playing against their former QBs?

    IIRC he was referencing (poorly) a hilarious quote from John McKay.

    Heat check!

    Yeah they certainly seemed like very carefully calculated bombs rather than just chucking it. Landed harmlessly.

    Any chance Max could stay around next year to coach Drake?

    I don't doubt it. I do think the NFL puts too much emphasis on finding freak athletes and home run players ... It's like they'll sacrifice everything else for the hope of a home run, and play calling and etc revolves around it.
