Here’s what the writer missed: QB Drake Lindsay. Duh. Potential breakout players: Nathan Roy; Jalen Smith; Karter Menz; John Nestor; Kerry Brown. Maybe others? https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/big-ten-post-spring-intel-breakout-players-qb-battles/

One pundit (Tom Fornelli) recently published his ranking of B1G QBs for the upcoming 2026 season. He had Drake Lindsay at 13th, behind several senior year QBs and the Illini and Badgers' transfer QBs. I really like Lindsay. I think he stays for two more seasons (for maturity and experience) and...

Interesting list; three of the top 10 from Indiana. Hell has frozen over.

Odd recruiting side benefit to having UST go Division I? Some parents get to two-fer.

All of Iowa's LB commits are rated lower than Tate.

All rated lower than Tate. Maybe they signed the guys they could get after Tate said no ...

If you watched some Indiana games, you probably remember their no. 3 receiver, Charlie Becker, who really came into his own as the season progressed. Dominant near the season's end in big games. He is 6'4", 205 and very fast--and won contested balls more often than not. Mikklesen might have that...

A big WR who also can block?

Yup. Force safeties to respect the run and WRs suddenly become better. How much better? That's where the talent part come into play.

Sometimes, when you can't hire Einstein, you default to two heads are better than one. As long as the two heads have played ball and have lots of experience. I'm OK with where the offense is headed under this year's coaching group (Harbaugh, Fruechte and Shula) . Unfair to judge Shula on one...

1.5

Per game average, if 8 games: Passing 278 yds; 27 yards rushing; 3.4 TDs; 0.25 Ints, in 6A football. I'll take it.

6' 1" is fine if QB is mobile and accurate. Looking forward to Feeney tearing it up.

Published report I saw says Esten makes a little over $550K at UST. Moving to the U, where he has worked before and earned his Ph.D., seems like logical step up. Wouldn't even have to relocate. And he can raise money! He's another devil "we know."

and MacMillans.

We got some new options ... time will tell. If we can go from having the least productive running game in the B1G to one that is at least middle of the pack, that alone will be meaningful help for Lindsay and the receivers.

Very interesting analysis of 2025 B1G play from the standpoint of various "negative play" metrics. Produced by a stat-obsessed Oregon Ducks blogger. Many takeaways, but the one most meaningful to me is that, of B1G teams, only Indiana was better than Minnesota at ball security. Very impressive...

The Gophers are a development team. They don't have the luxury of annually "re-loading" with game ready 5* and high 4* players who were riding the bench, waiting their turn. When I see the rare season in which the Gophers send 3 or 4 kids to the combine and 5 or 6 to post-season talent bowls, I...

I do think he'll have 6--but there is no punishment or penalty if I am wrong! Now, if I had to bet $100, then maybe 2 or 3 interceptions, tops!

My bad. Fixed it.
