It would have been nice to see if the QB was capable of this. But, the head coach and OC called a handoff every 3rd and 3 they had. And, most 3rd and 5s. And, 3rd and 7s. And, even 3rd and 9s.

There was no passing game to even be broken. It simply wasn't a priority and there was literally no commitment to it. The passing game was looked at as an inconvenience to this coaching staff. Shockingly. That's not good for any quarterback and obviously stunted the kid's growth. I feel bad...

I think you're asking the wrong question. Instead of asking about evaluation failure, maybe its a development failure? Athan has gotten worse, not better. He has talent and tools. I'll be interested to see how he does where ever he ends up.

That's fine. Except when you have a QB you're constantly bragging about coupled with having to start a fifth-string walk-on, converted scout team defensive back at running back. If in that situation he still thinks being run first offense is the best way to win a game, then I lose some...

I guess everyone perceives things how they perceive . I have no idea, but I saw the exact same look, exact same mannerisms. Wandering aimlessly 40 yards away from anything for much of the second half, staring off into space. Exactly the same thing both games to me. Only time I've seen him...

Only other time I've seen that look was the last time they gave up 300+ rushing yards in a game. That was the 2018 game at Illinois. The look was clear and obvious that day in Illinois. Same look at Purdue on Saturday. Only two times I've noticed it. After the 2018 Illinois debacle, he...

You mean he decided to leave Kansas a month later. Ky had left Minnesota nearly a full year before Kenni took the Kent State job.

It is totally possible.

I read the article and it says the insurance is also covered, which is a big thing. I wonder, do the players have to pay a "gift" tax on this and for some who come from lower income or no other NIL income - that could get pricey for a $60k truck.....I'm not an accountant or attorney, so no...

Are you wondering if things have happened to him, or do you know things have happened to him?

@Gopherchase has posted a few times in the past few weeks that Evans is in the doghouse. Not sure what he did to get in the doghouse, but it seems to be the only logical explanation as to why he hasn't played a single down in the first four games when clearly there is a need for some quality...

I think Kyle will be doing mostly the Peacock games. The top NBC prime time guy is Todd Blackledge. I'd assume he'll have the MN-MICH game with Noah Eagle.

This has been the case since BTN started broadcasting in 2007. They always take a backseat to the other networks for the best games. Occasionally, they luck into a good game, but usually it is the bottom of the food chain. That said, they get way more than the annual FCS game. They always...

You even left out the 2007 Brewster loss at Northwestern in which Minnesota held a 35-14 2nd half lead in Evanston and lost in OT, as well. 2023 was the second time in the past 16 years the Gophers have blown a 21-point second half lead and lost in Evanston in OT.

PJ has used a microphone and speakers at practice since the first day he got to Minnesota.

Care to elaborate on this? I've seen you post this a few times now. I believe you, as its the only logical explanation as to why he hasn't played one down in three games. I am wondering what the details are, if you can share.

They are using Gousby in the third down/passing situation package. They bring Gousby is as safety and move Green to the nickel (taking Henderson out). So, when Gousby goes in, Nubin and Green are also in. As a poster previously said, Gousby actually recovered fairly well and nearly broke up...

Minnesota had never played a road game at an ACC school until this past Saturday either. They had played at Pittsburgh and Syracuse, but neither were ACC members when they did that.

Not a big deal, the Gophers didn't run any plays in the Red Zone on the drive that ended in an interception. The ball was intercepted in the Red Zone, but the line of scrimmage was the NEB 24. We were technically 2-for-2 in the Red Zone with a FG and a TD.

The worst play design of the entire evening was the naked bootleg on 4th down on the first possession. I'm all for a good bootleg. But, you need one yard. Don't fake a hand off and have the QB continue toward the backfield to the point he is eight yards behind the line of scrimmage before he...
