TE is about being able to use your body to consistently create space so you can catch the ball. BSF has the athletic ability to create space. What he has lacked is the understanding of the game to do this consistently. While the offense might be partially to blame, I do think he needs to be...

If he has a great year and looks like a top 5 QB for the 2025 draft we had a great year and unless CrAB was the big reason why (meaning his only WR is leaving) there really is no reason to leave. QB's leave because they don't want to have the year Jordon Love had after his WR's left. The big...

The question is recruiting about the rankings or is recruiting about fielding a strong team? We have been fielding a strong team year after year with the big weaknesses being in recruiting WR (2020-2022 production). Which is the one place I would think he would excel considering his background...

What Brown did here was a necessary swipe at the U, even though he may not feel that way. With his audience he can's start with "we have a tough non-conference schedule, we play MN." His audience view the B1G as inferior to southern football. They would think the other two teams are better...

At this point in the Fleck era we are a top #45 recruiting team and a top #30 on the field program. I will take that over being at top #60 recruiting program with a top #50 football team. With Fleck constantly producing NFL level talent we will continue to recruit good, but not great. We will...

I only got to watch a few series, but was amazed at how much of an impact he seemed to have on play after play. Hope it leads to Rush getting drafted. However, if he doesn't get drafted it solidifies him as a high priority undrafted DE.

I came to this thread about ready to go off on the number of posters who are obsessed with WI and pretend the world is collapsing on us. Glad to see its just about a reminder of why culture matters. It is not to say you can't produce a few bad eggs here and there. However, the good will and...

Fickell is a great hire if it works out. If he can attract high end skilled position talent to WI and maintain that OL and defense, WI will go next level. However, I would say it is just as likely that he hits with a few positions and misses with others. Then the results will be a middling...

I am amazed at how WI is getting so much love from the predictions. They don't have a WR, the OL was suspect last year and they while QB will be better, they are losing a ton on defense. I realize Fickell will be adding a lot of transfer, but getting them to gel in year 0 is hard. I don't...

Will Morgan be 2023's Brock Purdy

There is so much we can't control - injuries, young adults not showing up to play, freak plays that cost us a game that we really were the better team. So not going to discuss wins and losses. What I want to see in 2023: 1.) An offense that keeps defenses on their toes. It has a great...

All national and even B1G pundits will see is we lost Morgan and Mo, who are the only FB players they know or care about. They won't see we have a starting QB who proved to be as good, with a higher ceiling than Morgan. They won't see the talent returning on the D side of the ball. They...

The hiring of Ben Johnson is consistent with the type of coaches Coyle likes to hire. People who are deeply committed to the U and seem to have the skills and ability to build something. He is willing to take a risk and take a big leap, if it means there is the potential of a big reward...

Athan > Duggan - if this can be true we already know that this is true - Gopher Defense > TCU Defense We just need our WR to take shape and our O-line to gel quickly, and we have a chance to do something special. Still, with our schedule, making the playoffs would be down right miraculous.

I have no problem hiring a young up and coming assistant that is MN loyal and an internal hire. We know he will have a short leach, but if he can create as creative of a game plan as he did against Auburn, we will be fine. The concern should be will Fleck let him call the plays and game plan...

Nebraska - whole new coaching staff Wisconsin - whole new staff Illinois- lose DC to #5 randed defense Purdue - whole new staff Iowa - kept there OC Minnesota- lose OC of bottom 1/3 offense. While i understand our disappointment and concern, the sky is hardly falling. I believe we will get...

I believe Fleck continues to build something special here. Not just in terms of wins and losses, but the culture that is producing good young men who go the NFL and go out into the world making a difference. I think he will continue to grow as a coach and grow in influence. Meaning, we will...

Athan in his short time has shown: 1.) He can make all the throws, which will spread the field out as coverage will need to be extended. 2.) He has good field vision, meaning he doesn't seem to lock into a receiver and is aware of secondary options. 3.) He can handle the pressure. I don't...

MSM was the best run stopping LB you could ask for. Understood the design of the play and what the OL was going and how to fill the proper gaps. His weakness was in man pass coverage, especially on serviceable TE's and RB's. If he could sniff out the play he was great, but if it was...

As was evident in the game against Purdue and in the 2nd half of the Syracuse game, the other RB's we have are good but they are not MO. They don't have the vision or the power to break through arm tackles that Mo did. In 2023 the running game will depend upon making teams pay for playing...
