    Discuss amongst yourselves.

    Has anyone seen Builtbadgers?

    I've been a bit spotty... Have some cool things going on that are taking some time. But, that said, I don't recall seeing Built in a while. Worried about him. Anyone recall seeing him?

    Want to learn?

    Remember when I told you that the plan was to use the short passing game to force a defensive alignment with two safeties and then run? Before the season started. Recall? I said it here: https://gopherhole.com/boards/threads/you-wont-believe-what-i-think.115620/ Well... Last week...

    You won't believe what I think...

    I think the Gophers are going to run a West Coast offense. This will force the opposing defense to play Cover-2. When the opposing defense aligns in Cover-2, we will have equal numbers at the line of scrimmage -- and we will hand the ball to Taylor, and he will gash them. Then the defense...

    Chins up!

    Look: we entered this year with two question marks: (1) QB; and (2) defensive backfield. Here's the clear picture of where we are... We now have a QB who can pass opportunistically. In other words, he is not yet able to run an offense organized around passing. But he can -- now --...

    Before this season...

    Before this season, I compiled a histogram analysis of Sean Tyler's carries from the previous year. And I noted that he had a tendency to carry for negative yards, but also had a significant capacity to go all the way. I was challenged about the losing yards observation, and i responded that...

    Darius Taylor through Three Games

    This histogram includes all 56 of Darius Taylor's carries through three games. -1/3 of his carries go for 2 yards or less (2 yards is the mode). -1/3 of his carries go for 3-6 yards (median of 4). -1/3 of his carries go for 7+ yards. So based on my personal means of assessing a runner (mode +...

    AK... Do I have this correct?

    I had to view Saturday's game in a social environment, and could only watch three-quarter's of it. So my view of the game was unfocused and incomplete. That said, here's what I took away. (1) AK showed he has a strong arm and can throw all the routes. But we already knew that. (2) He was...

    Craig McDonald

    Out of curiosity, is anyone aware of whether the Gophers have heard from the NCAA concerning his waiver?

    So I did a little work today (Mo vs Sean Tyler...)

    This is a histogram of Mo's carries (maroon) vs Sean Tyler's carries (blue) based on the regular season of last year. Since Mo had 1.5x the quantity of carries (209 vs 320), I multiplied Sean's carries in each category by 1.5 in order to control for volume. Some takeaways: -They are equally...

    Whoever said to watch Payne on that last shot - Thank you.

    I just did that - several times over, and frame-by-frame. Vicarious joy is a hell of drug. Nothing better, really. I think I'll go pet a dog or be nice to a child now. The sun is shining here in Tampa.

    Gopherhole Administrators: May I ask...?

    Would it materially help the finances of Gopherhole, if a contingent within your audience were to commit to clicking on 1 or 2 ads per day? I'd be up for doing that, if I knew it would be meaningful to you. And I assume others would, too. So, what's up? Would that be a help? It would be...

    Propositional Football

    Propositional football. What is it? If A, then B. If B, then C. And so on. Architecturally, this works. And from a "master plan" point of view, this is sound. As a matter of fact, it means you have a master plan. There is one problem. If "A" never occurs, the entire thing is derailed...

    Aireontae Ersery

    On a few occasions, I've notice him seal up the left edge of the line air-tight. And Mo always seems to get a big gain when that happens. ...Anyone else notice he seems to have a knack for sealing the edge?

    If I had to offer food for thought...

    I'd point out to PJ that he may want to reconsider his squeeze-the-life-out-of-the-game strategy when dominating in the opening half. Here's why. Notice that despite the statistical dominance, the Gophers hadn't really put the game away at the half? This means that if Thorne doesn't fumble on...
