I think Fleck is third in tenure in the B10 and he should embrace that and make it clear unless the AD spot goes with it, he won't leave for another coaching job - and that offer isn't likely. He's hitting just above 60% and doesn't have the pushovers Mason had every year - hence the best...

Without a runner, they'll have no offense whatsoever.

Coaches used to have five years - I remember when it was a shock when a coach was fired for less than five years. Two years is ridiculous and totally unfair - even Barry Alvarez opened his long tenure at Wisconsin with three losing seasons.

Nothing wrong with ties - a normal part of the game for over a century. Reserve overtime for championships and bowl games and dump the present overtime system.

Simple: home game for Badgers; they need 6th win for bowl; they will want to bounce back from Nebraska loss.

True.

The Nebs are doing okay with a second year coach and should beat Wisconsin to finally break the bowl drought. But the Nebraska lesson is that you can't keep cycling coaches. The folly started by firing a coach with a 9-3 season and an overall record at the school of 58-19: Frank Solich who had...

Nebraska just fired its OC because of play-calling that needed to be improved RIGHT NOW, so they can make a bowl. PJ should let Simon call the final games, even if that's all that is involved.

I didn't expect a victory because Kali would be all out to beat his former teammates and it was a home game for Rutgers, plus Rutgers is good at running (even without their best) and on stopping the run. Ciano knows PJ well and knows how to prepare for him, and the Gophers were on a roll, hence...

Good points. I would prefer an eight-team playoff with no automatic bids to conference winners. Just go with the final poll. This is also too much of a 'second season" for me.

Gophers couldn't run the ball, Rutgers could. Both teams could pass. First half Kali had all day to throw, plus Rutgers, at home, wining one for their QB, played with more energy most of the time. In terms of pure talent, on another day, Gophers win.

Gophers playing like tourists.

Yeah, isn't it great to have a 70% passer? What a difference such a player would have made in all the recent decades. Passing QBs came to the fore in the '70s and we rarely had one. Warmath relied on the run game and defense (Sandy Stephens was a .333 passer and no one was complaining). We did...

Anyone know? It happened near the end of the game.

Agree: Rutgers will be tough - good defensive team, rested up, they can run the ball and they will be motivated to "upset" the Gophers. Don't know if it's a night game, which would also help with crowd participation, excitement, etc.

And another field goal against N Carolina. Could be 7-2, even 8-1. Those of us who said we wouldn't make a bowl game were WRONG (I'm happy to admit). This was a big accomplishment for a team with a new QB in a weird new no-divisions B10. Congrats to players and coaches - and PJ is becoming a...

Defense + we could both pass AND run on offense. Best possible combination.
