I'll ask again: Are you unhappy with the current state of "our" program? It's a simple question.

It really does come down to QB and the O-Line for me. We are so often in this position of "we could be much better than expected, or much worse."

I'm not going to lie to you, I think it's more likely that we are worse. I say that because of the AK fiasco and the hype that surrounded him.

I really wish this media market had more coverage beyond just Gopher Gridiron because we could really benefit on better insider coverage.

I'm not as worried about the OL as the QB. I bought into AK hook, line and sinker, and it burned me. I believe we a have roster this year to have a 9/10 win season, again I will probably predict the same next year. If we keep expanding the play calling like we did this past year it should be a fun year of Gopher Football

Having a QB that you trust enough to throw the ball down the field makes expanding the playbook a lot easier. Then you need a quality OL to give him the time to make those throws.

I'm worried about both if we're being honest but I have a renewed faith in our program thanks to PJ.
 

Couple times now I’ve seen people say they are worried about the QB because of how AK turned out. I guess I don’t see how that is an indicator of how good or bad Drake Lindsey will be.

I thought the O line turned over a few starters. I definitely am not extremely roster saavy - I listen to the podcast and follow posts, but I retain very little.

Correlation doesn't equal causation, for sure. But - I am one of those folks saying they are worried because of AK. This is due to cumulative trauma at the Gopher QB position over the years. AK was supposed to be "the guy," so much so that we hampered our own recruiting to hang on to him. There hasn't been the same buzz surrounding Drake thus far, but I'm still very skeptical of a young arm under PJ. We've turned over offensive coordinators so frequently, and have really only tasted success with experienced QB's with PJ.

Don't let me ruin your confidence! Just trying to explain my thought process.

Tanner Morgan was ok as a RS Frosh. But I agree QB is a question mark, I’m not overly confident or pessimistic about it. Luckily for Drake he hasn’t had to experience any OC changes so far, so that should help some.

Buffalo - Lance Leopold ain’t walking through that door.
1-0 and probably by 3 scores

Northwestern state- maybe better than northwestern but awful.
2-0 and by at least 3 scores

@Cal - sneaky sneaky but 3-0 by 10 points on the road

Rutgers - Revenge game at home against Athan K coming off a bye week?
14 points at home - 4-0

@ohio state - too rich for my blood
Loss by 10 that feels like more than 10
4-1

Purdue - get right by playing the worst power 5 team. 5-1

Nebraska - Friday night lights.
The steak continues by 7.
6-1 in a gritty game. I will be intoxicated

@iowa - gophers 2-0 in Iowa city when im not there since 1995 and im not going to be there. You are welcome. 7-1

Michigan state is just below average.
Gophers by 14
8-1

@oregon with a bye week. This would be a good game to go to. If the gophers jump into the playoffs it’s because they beat Nebraska, Iowa, Oregon back to back to back. Oregon doesn’t have a QB. It’s the first time their coach is with his whole team nobody from previous regime.
Oregon by 20
8-2

Northwestern in Chicago. Revenge game from the worst game of the fleck era (IMO) two years ago. 9-2

@wisconsin. I predict vs interim coach. I predict vs interim team.

You're wrong, just like last year. 9-3 at best, 5-7 at worst. I'll go 6-6. Brosmar hid OC flaws that Lindsay won't be able to.

I didn’t make this thread last year
So you’re wrong

Edit

I’m wrong

I predicted 9 wins last year
Team ended with 8 including post season
If I’m off by same amount they’ll finish 8-4

I believe we have 3 big contributors coming back. With 2 NIL and a couple big time recruits. In my opinion we will be good on the OL this coming year

Not sure on the ear wax? Just saying I believe the OL will be good. To each there own.

You're right. Good analysis.

Thought I've read they gave Brosmer a decent amount (maybe even a lot?) of ability to change the play or select from a multiple play call at the line of scrimmage?

Being able to do that well requires recognizing the defense well. But if it works, it forces the defense to just sit in base and react.
 

10-2, yeah you’re wrong.

I think we’d be very fortunate to go 9-3 with a fairly easy schedule. I’m guessing 8-4.
