He sure is. Just get the ball from center and hand off kid, no need for passing at this point.

You are correct, the D looked real good and the O left some points on the field with some drops and and errors. Williams ran for close to 150 yards and looked pretty darn good for a true freshman. For such a young team, the team as whole appears to be more talented than any team we have seen here in years.

When I was watching the game yesterday I heard them talk about how ridiculously young our team is. If we can be OK this year most likely good things are in our future.

Most freshman of any D1 team in the country I think I heard. And yes they do seem like a special group. A lot of talent, but they'll take some lumps this year, would be nice if they could scrape their way into some minor bowl game. And then the future looks very nice.

Fleck made a good point in his press conference. Said the players were hanging their heads a bit because they 'only' won by 23. That's good because it means they have high expectations. And look around, man. Look what happened in the Big 10 yesterday. I'll take a bunch of 18-19 year old kids feeling sad about a 23 point win any day.

We're finally watching some of these MN kids excel for US rather than others
Green and Johnson are guys with real bonafide talent.
The new RB was fun too.
Ways to go, but I LOVE the fact they were disappointed in the size of the win.
THAT is what we need more of, no more of this "ahh, it was good enough" bullshit.

On a day when Big Ten members Maryland, Nebraska, Northwestern and Wisconsin each lost to double-digit underdogs at home -- and Rutgers lost at Kansas by ... ahem ... 41 points

Is this the week we find out what we have ?

I think it's a really good baramoter.

Easy win - we are a lot better than most of us expected
Tight win/loss - we are middle of the road B10 team who may sneak in to a lower bowl game
Big loss - we are young so we have that going for us



This assume it's not some wonky game where we march up and down the field but have 4 fumbles/int's ect...
