    Would Minnesota’s offense get shut out by Minnesota’s defense?

    Our offense is on par with NC with Johnson under center. We are not an FCS offense nor Fleck's 2017 offense, which Nevada wasn't as good as. The offense would score against our defense, just as I expect our offense to score against every team we play. Our offense really struggled last year and...

    Gopher Defense led by Hetherman Getting it DONE - Currently 5th in the NATION

    I'm saying what we've seen is good, but I'm not buying my tickets to the NC game because we handled one team we should not be playing (Rhode Island) and a Nevada team I wouldn't want to play in two years if their coach hangs around, but that is coming off a 2-10 season and doesn't have a ton of...

    Gopher Defense led by Hetherman Getting it DONE - Currently 5th in the NATION

    Well at least this passive aggressive response is a step up from questioning if I am a fan.

    Gopher Defense led by Hetherman Getting it DONE - Currently 5th in the NATION

    I don't disagree with your take at all and appreciated it. I've not thought much of the FPI, for a variety of reasons, but don't disagree with your takeaway it feels more right than the bog difference I used. That said, my previous feelings about FPI were somewhat vindicated by the FSU squad...

    Gopher Defense led by Hetherman Getting it DONE - Currently 5th in the NATION

    Offensively, can we move the ball against defenses that have strength in the line, LBs and DBs. Defensively, can we stop an offense with a pulse. That's what I'm looking for.

    Gopher Defense led by Hetherman Getting it DONE - Currently 5th in the NATION

    Like anything else at this point it is incomplete. I don't make the models, it's just one that's been around for a while that provides some insight. The new SP+ numbers are out and have Iowa at 23 and we're at 32, but there is no strength of schedule in that report. None of it matters...

    Gopher Defense led by Hetherman Getting it DONE - Currently 5th in the NATION

    I agree to a point. Were the missed tackles and slow LBs and confused dbacks a mirage against NC? Or do we just look better against bad competition. Right now I can guess and hope, but I'm waiting for the team to prove it against Iowa, Michigan, and USC. We'll have enough info in the next...

    Gopher Defense led by Hetherman Getting it DONE - Currently 5th in the NATION

    Per Sagarin: Strength of schedule: Minnesota 147 Iowa 89 Current Ranking: Minnesota 50th Iowa 22 Like PJ's early recruiting class rankings, after week three these stats don't mean much. Not trying to take anything away from this defense, but when we finished the season at 13 in the nation in...

    UCLA Big Ten Era Begins with Lopsided Loss to Indiana

    I guess no one told their new coach about year zero.... It was UCLA or U Clowns Lose Again (not to be confused with the University of Crenshaw turn Left at Artesia) so lets not get ahead of ourselves, but I've been impressed with the coaching at IU this year so far. Again, amazing what you can...

    Full Banana vs Nevada

    I hope we win next week. I watch the Gophers because I love college football and I love cheering for my alma mater, not for a fashion show. And I've got news for you, we're all in the Washburn McCreavy waiting room crowd. The only thing everyone on this board has in common.

    Full Banana vs Nevada

    True. But we aren't tied to Nike to the point we sold out to be their test subjects. The axiom generally holds true.

    Full Banana vs Nevada

    Yeah we. As in Alumni of the University of Minnesota. As in Gopher fans. We. My apologies if I'm not fan enough for you.

    ** How Many Games Will the Gopher Win? ** Pulse Vote After Crushing Nevada

    The defense has looked very good the last two weeks against extremely pedestrian offenses. The offense today was more diverse, but we'll play a real live defense next week. Nothing about today's game makes me more optimistic about next week, but I'm glad we won. And I'm really glad we didn't...
