Brosmer is looking acclimated to BIG football game speed ... I'm thinking he will continue to improve and be the reason we win some games this year. Impressive QB.

So Far, the Gophers have pretty much stuck to the same OL group. only real change was Beers in place of Lewis.

it's largely a veteran group. this remains one of the big stories of the season - an OL that was looked at as a potential strength of the team has been less than ideal.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Could be worse.

The issues are even more amplified by Minnesota’s issues upfront, but pressures and sacks are just as much on the quarterback as the offensive line.

Not sure about the above. True, an elusive QB and/or one who has great pocket presence is hard to pressure or sack, but Brosmer is consistently getting heat. I think that the OL needs to step it up.

Brosmer has definitely shown "happy feet" and has overreacted to pressure numerous times. However, considering his first taste of P5 football was the UNC game where he was getting no time, it's not a huge surprise. Brosmer isn't faultless, but IMO, it's about 90% on the OL. If the OL played this year like it has in the past, they'd be looking at least at 1 more victory, if not 2.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

2 seconds. Count to 2 and look at me.

Would really to see a jumbo 6 man elephant line with Nkele at right tackle and Carrol at tight end wearing a tight end number. Would be fun to see a six man line leaning on people in a bad weather game. I'm talking late October November weather.

Why would Carrol need a different number?

Why would Carrol need a different number?

PJ said he's open to trick plays...there you go.
