QB was running mostly straight line, RB zig zagging a lot with multiple cutbacks - not a good speed comparison.

I wasn’t commenting on the RBs speed, or lack of, just how fast QB11 is.

No. He stunk. He is a safety. Who cares. And of all the motherfuckers on this board to talk about bitterness, 😂. You are hands down maybe the whiniest bitch on this board. Period.

Oh just relax. The only reason I asked is because other people were talking about ratings of players coming to the golfers and how good they should be.

My thoughts too. Fleck literally got low level productive guys and former blue chip players who didnt play much as under classmen. I believe the transfer and high school classes are among the best (non-helmet) classes in the country. Plus we retained 95% of our returning starters. Not sure how anyone could complain

He literally did not on offense, which is what I posted about. Hope I’m wrong, but if you want the bar raised you either need better coaches, better players, or both. Otherwise it’s just cross your fingers for a lucky season where everything breaks right, which we might be stuck with without more financial backing by the administration and boosters.
 

Portal is closed. Players can still sign, of course, but I suspect the number of open spots on teams is now very small or nil. When the 2026 HS signing classes and portal transfers are aggregated, it is very common now to see combined signings in the 35-50 range, meaning many teams are now changing up their rosters with a volume and speed--ala Deion in his first year at Colorado--thought unthinkable just a few years ago.

The biggest roster turnover for 2026 (HS and Portal combined) presently is West Virginia with 81 players, meaning 77% of its roster will be new in 2026. Coming in second is Iowa State, with 72 new players. Oklahoma State will field 71 new players and Arkansas 62. There are obvious reasons for these schools posting such big numbers, but the magnitude is still a bit shocking to me. In the B1G, UCLA has the most extensive roster turnover so far, with 60 new players, but several teams are close by in the 50s.

WAY-TO-EARLY PREDICTION
Gophers 7-5
Win another 🥣 game for 8-5 record
Final ranking 43
"If we just woulda beat (insert name) we'd be ranked in the high 30's..."
Meanwhile, Oregon becomes the 4th different Big 10 team in four years to win a national championship.

I think your last sentence has a decent likelihood.

I think Oregon will be preseason #1.

They return almost everyone, including the star QB and a bunch of defensive lineman who would all be playing in the NFL next year had they gone to the draft.

Crazy to think what the Ducks' payroll must be.

Yup should make for a lot of quick turnarounds, and short leashes for new HCs that start slow.

A major reason why the NCCA has to get off its ass and work out something with somebody to get this resolved.
