Good prospect at DE 6:6 265. Rooming with Jeff Jones. Super Kid. Led state in Sacks senior year !
TE might not be the weak pont of the offense many people expect it to be. Considering the significance of the position in this offense, the added depth is a welcoming development.
Can't wait to see how this offense looks when they suit up for TCU.
I'm not sure why people are so optimistic about the offense.
MN lost the 2 most dominant offensive players they had.....you have seen yrs of Killball and fully understand that he runs, runs, runs, runs, runs, runs.
Wrong again. Kill uses the tools that he has at disposal. This year he will have a more seasoned QB and more and better and WRs. When he had the right tools at NI he used them and he will do the same here. There is reason why he has been recruiting big athletic WRs and it isn't because he just wants better blockers.

We have come a long ways in rebuilding over the Kill years. We have come from from from not being 1 deep to being 2 deep+. I think we are ready to plug and play/reload (at the 8-3 level anyway, likely more). We will give TCU a much better game this year. We just might win! I have no concerns about replacing very good players. To win the West we better give TCU one heck of a game.
My hope is that JJ runs for 2000 yds every season he is here. I used to hope for a passing game but now i have accepted Kill Ball for what it is. Stifling defense and ball control.
Not to say Wiscy doesn't have great backs, they do. They have been successful because of their O-line. The Gophers have a damn good offensive line. Makes the entire offense better.I'm optimistic because Cobb came out of nowhere. Somebody always steps up. Couple that with the fact that we have a stable of backs and we are building depth and experience at O-line.
Wisconsin doesn't panic when a thousand-yard rusher graduates. It's not unreasonable to think we are starting to build something here ourselves. Why shouldn't we be optimistic.
LOL - So you have given up on the passing game. You're certainly right that the personality of this team has been the run and defense. Kill though has been taking some clues from his good friend Patterson at TCU. This includes upgrading the skilled positions and study and beginning to implement a no huddle option. It appears to me that maybe you are looking too much in your rear view mirror and not enough at where we are going. If you weren't, you might have noticed that Kill has been focused on upgrading the passing game. The fruits of this labor can be seen by the number of recent new very good skilled receivers. This fall we should begin to see the offense that Kill ran at Northern Illinois. That offense included an excellent passing game. Yes, Kill is a run guy but he also realizes that you need a passing game is you want to compete at a higher level. So don't write off the passing game so quickly.
All this is right. However, so was Wait!What?'s statement you responded to that said the Gophers Identity is defense and ball control. That isn't changing this year regardless of how much better our passing game will be (and I do think it will be much better).
