    Crazy game with crazy ending. McCord is an amazing passer. UNLV’s new starting QB was crazy good too.

    Big Ten to modify officiating on onside kicks.

    I would only be in favor of kickoff offsides being reviewable in that case. The slippery slope may slow the game down wayyy too much, especially in the last 2 minutes when there are a lot of stoppages anyway. As imaging and AI tech get better the replay will be able to see more and more things...

    Big Ten to modify officiating on onside kicks.

    For all the cameras and tech they have, why would they not have a “goal line” camera angle EXACTLY at the scrimmage line of the kick when they know it’s an onside? I suppose because the offside call is not reviewable. In that case is there one official exactly on the 35 whose only duty is to...

    How many wins are left????

    USC is beatable, they’re 2-2 and they were down 21-10 to Bucky at halftime. UCLA has got to be a sure W. Maryland is Maryland, even when they’re decent they are prone to up and down weeks. Illinois and Rutgers looking tough this year but with upstart teams one never knows what they’ll look...

    Is it time to admit PJ (and staff) can coach?

    Michigan is pretty mediocre. They are passing for under 100 yards a game, struggled with Fresno St for at least a half, got embarrassed by Texas at home, didn’t blow out Arkansas St., and should have lost to also-mediocre USC except for a superhuman individual effort by Mullings. They could...

    Major Shift: Gophers 8.5 Point Underdogs to Mich After Opening 12.5 (Wisconsin 16 pt Underdogs to USC After Opening 14)

    A quick 4 point shift is interesting, as if someone knows something about injuries? Or tempering scoring expectations as Michigan is even worse at passing than Iowa. Imagine beating a ranked USC team with 32 yards passing. All 3 of their offensive TDs came off 40+ yard runs (the last one was 1...

    Adding insult to injury, took me 65 minutes to get out of parking garage last night

    Like the old guys at Orchestra Hall bolting for the aisles after the last downbeat and pulling their wives along to get to the parking ramp.

    Updated AP Top 25 rankings - Nebraska #23

    Those are two very impressively bad statistics. Not to be able to score, even a FG if you’re on offense first, in 8 OT games…and I had to do the math, it’s 8 years since beating a ranked team. It’s also 25 years since their last conference championship.

    This Iowa game is a BFG

    This year is probably the time to assess Bielema’s program building, his 4th year in Illinois which is starting out quite good so far. Northwestern’s very green staff did outcoach PJ last year and Braun won COY. So there is some objective evidence though it needs to be sustained.

    This Iowa game is a BFG

    Michigan is terrible with no QB, and may prove to be one of the biggest one year dropoffs for a national champ in a while (it’s not inconceivable they could struggle to bowl eligibility). Iowa is average with below average QB. Wisconsin is below average and lost their average QB. Gophs could...

    Altmyer is a 4th year, Raiola a true frosh - the compliments are mostly how good Raiola looked for his level of experience.

    They live and die by McCord. He played great 90% of the time but had a pick six and a bad INT that resulted directly in a FG, so 10 point swing. Despite that they should have won but for the horrible D called on the last 4th down - Cuse rushed 3 but left single coverage the entire side of the...

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Crush Rhode Island

    I mean, I didn’t even know Rhode Island had a college football team above DIII. I wouldn’t get too excited.

    Must be talking about an MRI. An x ray of a hamstring is not going to show much.

    B1G schools recruiting classes ranked

    40th is inflated at this point with 22 recruits already. Programs that fill later which are below 40th, but will certainly leapfrog the Gophers (assuming Gophers are nearly full) - Ole Miss, Florida, UNC, Utah, possibly MSU, possibly Iowa/Illinois depending on how much their crooting picks up...

    Emmanuel Karmo closes recruitment. Cancels visits at other schools.

    Exactly as you said, that is a somewhat outdated take after the last few years of NIL. Why would he go to the trouble of making up a graphic to tweet out his upcoming visits to the whole world, then like a day later say he’s shutting down his recruitment without taking any of those visits? What...
