    Gopher Defense

    Not seeing Rutgers as an outlier for DL of DB havoc. That is good. Let’s hope we run a great passing game against them, setting up good running lanes.

    Schiano Gives Injury Update

    Schiano said enough so that the reporter had a pretty good idea of whom Schiano was speaking. Many people can describe a person without using a name. IMHO PJ doesn’t even do this. He doesn’t name names; he also rarely discusses player injuries in terms (without naming names) that might in any...

    Gophers 36th best team in the country per The Athletic.

    Numbers 33 to 37 is an interesting grouping.

    Rutgers Game Day Material

    Here is an information-rich game day report about the Minnesota game published by Rutgers. Once you get by the stuff about ticketing, etc. there is a scouting update on Rutgers, and Athan’s play against USC, that is pretty interesting. Nothing controversial here; just lots of current data...

    Schiano Gives Injury Update

    You are right. PJ and Schiano are identical in how openly and extensively they use press conferences to reveal snd discuss the injury status of key players in their respective teams. Silly me!

    Schiano Gives Injury Update

    High-quality depth is the one of the great advantages that helmet schools have over the rest of the pack. The season is long, key players get nicked up or injured; next man up can be a chancy proposition for many teams.

    Is Rutgers a Possible Trap Game?

    I was responding to another poster who mentioned playoffs, presumably to make the point, I guess, that you can’t have a trap game—aren’t good enough—unless you are in the hunt for a playoff spot. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Schiano Gives Injury Update

    PJ might be on the Schiano coaching tree, but he differs in one big respect: updating the press and fans on injury status. Maybe Schiano's just getting his excuses ready in case things don't go well. AK is healthy ...

    Is Rutgers a Possible Trap Game?

    You may well be right in thinking this is still a 50/50 game. Vegas just set the betting line at Gophers by 5.5 points. Heck, we were favored against a ranked and heathy Illinois team by 3.0 points. So, based primarily, I assume, on the prowess of Rutgers running game, and the possibility that...

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

    Not sure how Kerry is against the pass, but, man, against the run he is a heat-seeking missile. Adds 15 lbs and becomes our next Tyrone Carter?

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

    Tim Bando needs to be evaluated by medical personnel. Maybe placed in the concussion protocol.

    Is Rutgers a Possible Trap Game?

    IMHO, the way we are playing now versus the way Rutgers is playing now removes it from the 50/50 category (at least for me). It was a 50/50 game before the season. It was 50/50 (maybe worse for us) after the Iowa game. But it isn't 50/50 now, again in IMHO. It is a game we should win if we keep...

    Is Taylor injured?

    If we are handling Rutgers well, might make sense to limit DT's snaps. Give Majors, Mangham and Bangura some meaningful run; maybe even true FR Iboji. After Rutgers, DT get two weeks full rest and recovery period (2nd bye) before the Penn State home game, in which, if healthy, he could be a...

    Kaleb Johnson is Mo Ibrahim only more rangy and with breakaway speed. Best RB in B1G by a long shot.

    Corn Nation on Nebbie Loss to UCLA

    Corn Nation guy is back in despair mode as Cornhuskers lose, at home, to UCLA. Love this guy. Sorry, but the You Tube video (version I saw) contains a short political commercial. 🤷🏼‍♂️
