wut the wut wut?
And receivers soaked there hands in Crisco for most games.
Also had no 14' tall receivers to catch the throws over the current one's heads.
I think there is plenty of blame to go around on many fronts regarding the Gopher passing game. Having gone to all the home games (where one can see the entire field), I would say that much of the time the Gopher receivers had no separation from their defenders and the Gophers must have led the Big Ten in receiver drops. And the pass blocking left a lot to be desired, but there also were many badly thrown balls, bad qb decisions, etc. I think both the coaching staff and AK realize that this is not going to get any easier next year and that the overall fit is not the best
His tenure as QB1 was short, but brilliant.
Throw an accurate touch pass?
Or brilliantly short!
I have to change my jersey order now…

My only question is how did he only end up 6'2"? Otherwise, you have convinced me, I'm all in on him, until he hits the portal.
This is probably the most amazing post I’ve ever read. Count me in.
No it doesn't.
Dad was part of the Iron Five, wasn't he? Gopher bloodlines are strong. Max throws a nice ball. Could use some more weight, I think.
This is true. For me it comes down to this... when things break down, your qb ideally can extend the play a bit, break contain, and allow receivers to get some separation at that point. Athan did not do that, at least consistently. Tanner didn't do it either but he did indeed have better protection. There are NFL QBs who can't extend plays either but they almost always are laser-accurate with their throws. See Kirk Cousins. Athan was neither. He showed glimpses of accuracy but was just brutal other times.
