Brush up OSG.
Great to re-watch. Hohensee had great vision and a very good arm. Cool under pressure. If he had been the QB on last year's Gopher team, we probably win 9 in stead of 6. By the way, Quinn Carroll's dad, Jay Carroll--a TE--had three TD receptions in that victory over Ohio State. That game was back in the day when the Gophers often countered extreme blitzes with screen passes, and considered the TE to be a receiving target.
Thanks, nice reading your memory from Gopher games of past. One can not get that from Google.
Hohensee's career stats are actually really similar to AK's. But always hard to compare qbs of different eras.
His dad is sometimes the candidate of some whenever the Gophers are looking for a football coach. But only when Marc Trestman is not available.
I remember these two making a TD play on homecoming against the Wildcats at the old Memorial stadium.

Yeah, like we would just hire a guy with no college head coaching experience just because he played here.His dad is sometimes the candidate of some whenever the Gophers are looking for a football coach. But only when Marc Trestman is not available.
Greatest and most entertaining Gopher game I witnessed in person. Game was running long and it was in an era when Daylight Savings Time ended earlier in the year. No lights at Memorial and twilight was setting in. Jay Carroll caught the winning TD right in front of the student section on a tipped ball. Art Schlichter was the Buckeye QB and he just trashed his helmet after the Gophers stopped the Buckeyes on their last drive. I had my beer goggles on that afternoon/early evening, but I remember the game like it was yesterday.
Schlichter was a serious pro prospect, and played in the NFL a few years, but if I recall he had a real bad gambling problem.
He did a little time in the pen also I believe.
I have a feeling the only way Athan starts is if Wimsatt is out with an injury.
Watching Hohensee throw the ball was refreshing, I had forgotten how smooth he was. Anyone who has played QB will probably agree that throwing from the shotgun is much easier than when being under center. From the shotgun the QB is already in the pocket, just set your feet and throw. The footwork to get from under center, to the pocket, setting ones feet and then throwing is much more difficult IMHO. Hohensee was always under center. In my mind he was a stud
Ripping our previous QB is the finest of the Gopherhole traditions.
AK left quit on his teammates & coaches before the season was finished. No normal fan would take AK for another season over Max. AK was a liability not an asset. Bad QB bad teammate.
Same deal for me. I was 13 at the time and helping to usher as a Boy Scout.
To be fair, ripping the current QB is also popular.
True
