per Sid:

Sanford’s offense

Fleck was asked if there’s going to be a lot of new wrinkles to the offense with Mike Sanford Jr. taking over as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after former offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca left the Gophers for Penn State right before the Outback Bowl earlier this year.

“We’ll see,” Fleck said. “Our system, for the most part, will be the same. But when you look at what Coach Sanford does is he brings this technical edge, this true technical footwork, throwing from the foundation. He played quarterback. He has coached quarterbacks his entire career.

“You can already tell our quarterbacks are feeding off his energy, his positivity in terms of how he coaches. You will see us use the tight end more under Coach Sanford.”

The Gophers finished 42nd in the nation in total offense with 432 yards per game, but ranked fourth in the Big Ten. And they ranked even higher in scoring offense with 34.1 points per game, which tied for 21st in the nation and ranked third in the conference, trailing only Ohio State and Penn State.

Minnesotans to get two more weeks of stay-at-home, but with new flexibility

Gov. Tim Walz and Minnesota officials try to thread the needle between protecting the public from COVID-19 and allowing businesses to resume.

Go Gophers!!
 

Still a little nervous on this one. Mike's resume is nice, but IMO not ... top 10 team OC nice.

I look forward to not having to think about resume type stuff ;)
 


“You can already tell our quarterbacks are feeding off his energy, his positivity in terms of how he coaches. You will see us use the tight end more under Coach Sanford.”

“And then I mentioned earlier that you may see the tight end more in the passing game. I really liked what I saw from [redshirt sophomore] Brevyn Spann-Ford in the couple of spring practices we had. He has all the tools and performed at a high level in the passing game when we called on him and he scored his first touchdown. I think he is a player who is capable of taking that next step.”

Straight from the coach himself. It's official. Y'all get your wish -MORE TIGHT END.

:)
 

I’m a little nervous about him messing with Morgan’s throwing motion. Hopefully there are no tennis balls involved ala Fisch.
 








Do we have "tight ends"? I thought we just had smaller linemen who could do outside zone blocking.
 







I'm telling you, if we have a top 5 offense next year but don't properly utilize the FB, I'll have a damn fit.
 

"Fleck was asked if there’s going to be a lot of new wrinkles to the offense"

HA!!!

"Uh hi Coach Fleck, can you give a detailed description of the new plays you'll be adding to the playbook this year, that opponents haven't seen you run much in the past?"

Fleck: ............ are you kidding me?

If Seth Green doesn't throw for at least 1,000 yards out of the wildcat, I'm calling for Sanford's head.
 

We don't actually have fullbacks in our offense, right?

We do have tight ends, though.

Oh! It was a joke.

I see. Because Bob has spent many a keyboard stroke and many an hour lashing out at posters who dared to call for more than almost zero involvement of our TEs in the passing game.

But it was a joke. OK. Thanks for clarifying!
