The Gophers attempted 37 passes and 21 runs against IowaAnd not one damn thing will change. He'll still run the same, antiquated, conservative, RUTM offense and play not to lose rather than to win. Done with him after 8 seasons.
The Gophers didn't lose because of conservative coaching. They lost because they physically lost the line of scrimmage and Iowa's RB was visibly quicker than anyone the Gophers have had in that role since at least the Barber/Maroney days. He took advantage of the holes he got and damn near beat the Gophers by himself.
I don't think PJ Fleck loses games in September, I think he loses them in the offseason by getting out-recruited. Iowa consistently produces more NFL-level players, especially on the OL and DL, compared to Minnesota.
