per Chip:
In all seriousness, their one-track mind was effective, if not entirely goofy, but this unbalanced approach is not going to work once the Big Ten season starts next week.
Somehow, the Gophers better discover a passing attack of some efficiency. And fast.
They can subsist on a running game alone against San Jose State and Middle Tennessee and Eastern Illinois. Who knows, the Big Ten looks so atrocious that maybe the Gophers can even win a few games by shunning the forward pass as if it’s leftover meatloaf.
But this is not a sustainable model, not against tougher defenses and better athletes. They’re not going to win too many Big Ten games completing only one pass. They won’t average 6.6 yards per carry, as they did Saturday.
