Max Brosmer and Quinn Carroll commit to playing in bowl game

Donate To GopherHole


I just assumed Max would, makes sense, he's finishing out his career / wants to play.

Won't blame anyone else who has different ideas for not playing. It is what it is now, you see who you're going to see, and maybe some new folks get some time.
 


I'm not surprised, but I'd rather Brosmer sits this one out and get Lindsey some more game experience (if he's the guy for next year).

No me -- I hope all our guys play. Let's win. I think talk about our winning streak in bowl games is overblown, because it's mostly due to us playing in Phoenix, New York and Detroit rather than Tampa or Orlando. But I'd still rather win than lose. Also, it's a good look that most of our guys play. Maybe they can get Lindsey in for a series or two.

Maybe a whole quarter, or two? Second quarter or part of first into the second and leave it open to play the fourth if our Gophers are up big.
 

I get that a lot of people think of bowl games as exhibitions. They started that way and with early departures, transfers, playoffs, and prep for the NFL combine - bowl games seem to be returning to those exhibition roots.

But for now they still count in the season record and they are still actual games. As long as that is true, absolutely try to win the damn things with the players that will best give you that chance. Winning is still the object of the game.

Yup, totally agree. Let Lindsey get all the first team practices and coach him up. It’s Lindsey time imo.

I would love to see him get some work in but I'm not sure one bowl game is that big of a progress boost in his development.

Not like he hasn't been practicing ...

And to answer the next question, yes, we talk'n bout that:

Kind of a raw deal for Brosmer to bring him here, have him be arguably the MVP, and then tell him he can't participate in the bowl game. Good luck getting a quality transfer QB in the future

You have totally raw QB next year then. Unless you go porta next year also. If Max Brosmer is a NFL qb I guess it’s a different story..

I'm not saying it wouldn't be good for Lindsey, I'm saying it would be a slap in the face to Brosmer

One bowl game isn't going to make Lindsey less "raw".

To be honest he should have been in RI, Nevada and Maryland game. But Coach Fleck has no good judgement when to give back ups playing time. He’s proven over and over he’s lacking in that area.
 

A great coach once said “you play to win the game”, which seems reasonable
 


I think the 'sitting out bowl games' thing will go away with the new playoff format.
