per Megan:

In 2019, the Gophers defense never shut up.

Linebacker Thomas Barber, yelling commands or grabbing his teammates by the pants and shoving them into position. Defensive end Winston DeLattiboudere confronting a fellow lineman on the sideline for a mistake, pointing out exactly how to fix it before the next drive. Safety Antoine Winfield Jr. eliciting crows of admiration for yet another interception.

In 2020, the defense is on mute.

“It looked like it was just communication,” said DeLattiboudere of the Gophers’ 0-2 start largely from defensive disasters. “And it looked like guys just have to trust each other more.”


Go Gophers!!
 

That may be the greatest understatement in a headline I've read recently.
 

I don't think its a matter of grabbing a guy's ass; it's inexperience and a lack of talented players.
