We're Soft

[TNGophfan]

Need to be stronger and tougher on lines to have any chance to reach next level.

As Big Cass would say, "S-A-W-F-T!!!!!! SAWWWWWFT!!!!!"

I'm not down on the line players on both sides of the ball as there are a number of younger players who are still maturing. If these players are still struggling next year, then we should have cause for concern.

Perich avoids hitting.

Might be more upsetting:

This team has actually overachieved for how they have played this year.

They haven't done well when outmatched, but I wouldn't call them soft. Soft doesn't dominate Nebraska, come back vs Rutgers and Purdue. The old Gopher teams would have dropped those games ...

I dont see the fight, for the most part. Not enough nasty. I watch Iowa and some other teams and the defense comes hard and lays some serious licks. Can count on both hands how many times it seems our guys do it. Love Perich but doesn't come as strong as I'd like to see.
Anyway, just 1 observers pov.

Perich avoids hitting.

I agree with this. He refuses to ever attempt to wrap up the player and only throws his body at the opponents lower body.

Gophers need that little blue pill.
