So i came across a youtube video today and it was Maroney and Barber just beastin it for the U of M. and it got me thinkin about the 2003 or 2004 (the 10 win team) whichever year it was. and why they were so much better then we were last year or better then we are gonna be next year. Id say this years team is better at QB, FB, WR (questionable), DE, DT, LB (questionable), CB, S, K, P, PR, KR
Did the RBs and O-line really make a 4 game difference? Look at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnhfPLrniFM
How many runs are over 10 yds. i think i caught one. I dont think the o-line was terrible last year. they had theyre ups and down. I think if we had Maroney, Barber, or heck even Russell they couldve ran for at least 800 yards. The O-line will only get better. Still not as good at '04s O-line but they will be solid. I really dont think Bennett or Eskridge are Big 10 worthy. Not one bit. Id pick Eskridge over Bennett. If one of these Freshman come in and prove to be solid this could be an 8 win team. Look at Maroney and Barber play. They had such great vision and elusiveness. Whaley was my favorite last year but hes gone. If these freshman cant come in and take a starting spot this team is in HUGE HUGE trouble. IMO its the key to next year. The defense will hold its own like last year. The passing game will do fine. Weber had his ups and downs. He was set up for failure tho. The Fisch really screwed him last year and add no running game to the mix, very few college QBs could succeed. All we need is a running game and i think the gophers will be back on track to becoming a good team once again.
