Thank you! I'm excited to start making more videos!

As he prepares for the NFL Draft, I caught up with DT Sam Renner for Episode 1 of "Staying in the House." Renner broke down film, discussed the draft process and shared Gopher Football memories. I'll be producing more of these videos in the future to keep you entertained at home!

Questions submitted on social media: From Nadine Babu on Facebook: My question is a personal one for Daniel House- with no spring ball, who is it harder on, you or P.J.? This is a fantastic question. I would say we're both wishing spring ball was happening right. However, it's really...

Team activities are currently suspended. This means players are taking University courses online and communicating with each other virtually. Coaches are also talking with recruits electronically. Everyone has to get creative since there are currently no on or off-campus visits at this time.

Nah, I've gotta rip apart the shell. I'm more of a sunflower seed guy.

It's so tough to know right now. If social distancing is doing anything, we'll know within a couple weeks. The biggest fear is how this virus could possibly have a second wave this fall. If that happens, things could get interesting. If the NCAA can preserve part of the season by going with a...

I've been asking myself this question quite a bit this offseason. Analytically speaking, the Iowa game was lost in the second quarter. In fact, if the game were to be played again with the same statistical outputs, Iowa would only have a 55% chance of winning, according to College Football Data...

Glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for stopping by. I'm hoping to do more of these in the future. I've been exploring video options to walk through plays and certain things.

I've noticed he's a tremendous athlete. I haven't had a chance to watch him in practice much due to his injury recovery. Eventually, he will find his way onto the field in some capacity, that's for sure.

I love talking special teams. This season, I've actually been studying quite a few special teams tendencies. One of the things I've found: there's huge value in running up and catching the ball. Once the ball hits the ground, spin takes over and punter's often accumulate a high volume of bounce...

Well, if you're a casual fan, two names to keep an eye on: Boye Mafe and Esezi Otomewo. I believe Mafe has the chance to be a huge Big Ten conference surprise. He is very dynamic and continues adding to his pass-rushing arsenal. Otomewo will need to step up and make an impact at the...

The more you stand, the better the atmosphere is! Many people might not think it makes a big difference. However, there is so much pre-snap communication going on and fans can legitimately alter timing and on-field adjustments. The energy for the Penn State game was tremendous and you could even...

I'm a uniform connoisseur. The gold helmets with all maroon = my favorite combo.

I actually focused on a large special teams study this offseason. I found out how important field position margin is. It is extremely valuable to have your kicker boot touchbacks out of the end zone. I expect will be a huge emphasis in 2020. When touchbacks occur more frequently, you're likely...

1. There are a few things worth noting at the linebacker position. First, I’m really impressed with the athleticism they’ve added. I watched one practice and was drawn to all of the sideline-to-sideline range. The new freshman additions (Burns, Lindenberg) added quite a bit of team speed to the...

I think Mike Sanford Jr. will actively utilize tight ends in this offense. It’s hard to know how much of an increase we can expect, but I’m anticipating a noticeable spike. I would say at least five targets per game is realistic (possibly higher). When watching Sanford’s past offenses, you’ll...

While we all stay home and flatten the COVID-19 curve, I wanted to host a fun activity on the GopherHole board. At 2 p.m. CT, I will be answering all of your Gopher Football questions in this thread. If there is something you’ve always wanted to ask me, submit it below. I will do my best to...

Gophers center Daniel Oturu plans to enter the NBA Draft, according to ESPN. The sophomore big man averaged 20.1 points and 11.3 rebounds this season. Oturu also ranked No. 19 nationally with 76 total blocks. He quickly solidified himself as one of the most dynamic and efficient low-post players...

Minnesota head coach Richard Pitino will return next season, according to college basketball analyst Jeff Goodman. The Gophers finished the 2020 season with a 15-16 overall record (8-12 in the Big Ten). Pitino just completed his seventh year with the Gophers and has qualified for two NCAA...

by: Daniel House (@DanielHouseNFL) The biggest surprises often come in the smallest packages. Cameras were rolling as Gophers legend Bob Stein spoke with the National Football Foundation’s interview crew. Stein was set to be featured in the foundation’s ‘Football Matters’ series. Steven...
