Miami has a surplus of starting pitching and their big addition this offseason to a bottom 5 offense so far has been Jean Segura. So there's a good chance they move a starter for some combination of a major league hitter and minor leaguers. Alcantara has put up close to ace level numbers the...

But the team has to improve this offseason to take 3 of those 5. And more so than the other schools. There's plenty to be optimistic about in terms of the 2023 roster, but unless there is a sizeable improvement in the offense, I think it's more likely they finish with worse record in 2023 than...

You're arguing against the #1 defender of everything status quo when it comes to Fleck.

That was just a comment on which seemed the more likely of the two. The chances that AK leaves before 2023 for any reason, OC-related or otherwise, are low.

No argument with that. CAB is a good player and the team would have been better with him in the lineup. The larger point is that if losing a guy who has averaged 29 catches and 440 yards a season (2018-2021) totally derails your hopes of having a decent passing game.....you're doing something...

Maybe, but I don't think most have specified any amount other than to complain about service academy ajacent ratios. Except those teams get the benefits of the triple option, while the Gophers at their worst were lining up decoys at WR and not throwing the ball for entire quarters.

While not taking away from your point about having the lead, after the early season blowouts, any time Tanner was under center was a conservative situation for Fleck.

Thinking back, I'm actually pretty sure a CAB injury was one of PJ's main excuses after the Bowling Green loss.

I just can't believe that the success or failure of the passing game was so heavily dependent on a guy who's averaged around 450 yards total receiving his first 4 seasons. It sounds like an excuse, and the success of the passing attack in the Wisconsin game supports as much.

Going to have to disagree. If it was a physically limited QB that had spent years in a particular system, there could be an argument. For all the possible reasons that AK chose to Row the Boat, I doubt that a run-heavy, hold the ball strategy was the deciding factor. My guess is AK is quite...

I don't think Minnesota is an exception, and as fans, it's weak to qualify our success as "for Minnesota". We'll never be Michigan or OSU, but I don't agree that we should all be overjoyed with one great season, followed by multiple seasons where we struggled against anyone with a winning...

Again, I haven't looked at the grades, but Carroll just seemed to have lead feet, even late in the year. As far as improvements later in the year, could it have been compensation with play calls, or a different QB? I mean, there's still the fact you pointed out that he was voted HM, so people...

Surprised at some of the venom at Kirk C. here. Like jilted lovers. I mean, stability matters, but it's not like Kirk had that great of offenses. If Simon doesn't get the job, it suggests to me that PJ was caught off guard by Kirk leaving. Which is "on him", just like Mike Sanford Jr.

Fair enough. I'd put my money on Ersery having a better football career than any of those guys (with the exception of JMS, for obvious reasons). I guess we'll see.

Mind posting a link? I'd like to see what the grades of the other O linemen were in those games. I realize the limitations of the eye test, but I saw Carroll getting routinely beat by pass rushers almost every game. And it seemed like the Gophers had a lot more success running behind...

Same here. Speaking of, no discounts on the red and white "official" merchandise just yet.... https://grahammertzshop.com/

Curious what you thought of Purdue, our common opponent this year in terms of how their talent and style of play matched up against yours (if you watched the game....b/c I did not).

Did that happen against good teams this year?

Yes, Murray. Many Gopher fans would probably complain if the Gophers lost, even while Mo personally had a great game.

Lots of pointing out how our wins came against teams with losing records. We probably need to send Remember Murray over there to correct their attitudes.
