Too slow, too weak, too small, too shallow, too undisciplined.

Same storyline as the last month of the year.

Need to get faster, stronger, bigger, deeper and better. Other than that we're awesome.

you have to admit...something interesting happened in that first quarter.
 

>>Need to get faster, stronger, bigger, deeper and better.<<

We got beat by a decent team from a better conference and our late season swoon continues. Don't be fooled by the non-conf wins. We're still a long way from where we want to be in the Big Ten and on the national scene.
 

Possibly the Worst O-Line/RB Combo

in D1. I guess it's a credit to the rest of the squad landing a bowl birth.
 

Rome was not built in a day. The USA was not built in a decade. The Gophers will be GREAT next year, and beyond. Gotta Love the Gophers!!!
 


Need O-Line depth, size and strength and a running back that can hit a hole, plus a deep threat WR.

On D we need speed and depth in the secondary and better LBers.

Interestingly enough...see recruiting class, incoming redshirts, grey shirts and transfers. We will be better next year.
 

Excellent evaluation, Philly, and it appears that we are addressing each of these things in this incoming recruiting class. We've really only had one year of recruiting under the Brew. Let's just relax here on New Year's eve and enjoy another beer and a small toke of reality.
 

"We will be better next year"

Better say, we will have better players next year. As we learned this year, better players doesn't necessarily translate to better play.
 

All else equal, yes they do. 1-11 vs. 7-5 is a very big improvement. In that 1-11 season we lost to the cream puff teams we beat this year. In addition we are now clearly out of the bottom of the B-10. We've gone from number 11 to maybe number 7 or 8. That's a huge improvement with with 1 year and 3 weeks of recruiting. Better players absolutely translate into better play and next year we'll be better yet. Will we be the top 2 or 3 of the B-10? No, but we could be just below that.

Like George Jefferson used to sing, "Well, we're movin' on up."
 



Too slow, weak, small, etc? Nothing like stating the obvious. That's why everyone's focusing on the answer: recruiting.

remember when we lost to NDSU

Is this discussion about the Gophers, Penn State, or all of the Big 10?
