Sure, in the Big Ten they rank 17th in yards per game, 14th in points per game, 12th in passing yards per game, and 18th in rushing yards per game. That last one also means we finished worse than a team that played Alabama, Ohio State, Oregon, and Indiana if you wanna talk about tough schedules...

I want any and all SEC smoke

This isn't about Drake and his development, I also think he had a great year. Regardless of his development, amount of rushes and philosphical changes in the offense we still ranked near the bottom of the entire FBS (136 teams total) in nearly every offensive statistic. For refrence we ranked...

This was one of the worst rushing seasons in Gopher history. Third lowest rushing yards per game since 1955 (that’s as far back as CFB Reference tracks the stats), one of the lowest yards per carry in history, and we ranked in the 120s-130s in rushing statistics across the country. Last years...

Games against lesser opponents were too close for my comfort, which is why I went with a C

Heaven forbid people have fun.

My personal pick would be KAM, but I could see a KAM/KOC combo. Or outside of the box, 50+ years of Vikings developing drafted QB talent

Thought the same thing on the hold in the end zone. Looked like the DT would’ve had him easily if he wasn’t grabbed.

Well it’s not just Big Ten refs that protect helmet schools. A&M just got bailed out at their own 1 yard line.

Oregon has so much talent, why do they need the refs too??

Well…. At least the bounce off the punt went our way

Mostly for selfish reasons lol. My dad always wanted to go see the Gophers play in the Rose Bowl. I was gonna save money so we could go in ‘28. We didn’t have the ability in ‘24 to go, so ‘28 would’ve been our one shot.

That’s extremely lame

In my opinion, until Fleck has a season or two where his teams don’t come out miserably flat against a lesser opponent or get embarrassingly blown out by a team of similar talent. I think you’ll be extremely hard pressed to find a major booster who would be willing to take the team seriously...

Laying an egg = playing down to or below a team of lesser talent and losing. Any team is capable of doing this regardless of talent level.

2021 Bowling Green, 2021 Illinois, 2022 Purdue, 2023 Northwestern, 2024 North Carolina, 2024 Rutgers, 2025 Cal, and I’d even argue this years blow out was an inexplicable bad loss due to how badly they got beat. Outside of that 2023 Northwestern game, because that season was a down year...

You can tell that the ghost of James Franklin is still at Penn St with wasting that timeout there lol

I think the yearly inexplicable bad loss is what really holds the program back. It hurts the national perception of the program and kills excitement in the casual fanbase. If I had money to seriously donate to NIL, those losses would give me pause. Because, if you routinely lay eggs against...

Anyone know when the last time we picked up a JUCO kid? Feels like it’s been awhile.

Wild that a non top 25 team could make the playoffs. FWIW, I’m a fan of conference champs being rewarded, but there will be A LOT of noise when Memphis gets in over a SEC school.
