Loved the Marquis Gray plays.
Get your best athletes on the field.
Decker remains UNREAL. Best player we've had in a longgg time.

Our weight room work was very evident yesterday.
Finished runs and blocks and hits.
Much stronger that way it looked to me.

Gotta get him to throw once in a while in that formation. Way too predictable.

Watched the replay this am.
Too many large gains given up. Receivers wide open for them all day, but that is NWs game.
Lots of work to do in coverage schemes. (in hindsight)
But we answered every bell.
STs were tremendous.
Very few penalties.
This work in progress is doing the right things so far, imo.
Couple good RB performances. Weber has too many poor decisions and poor executions.
Shocking how far our ST have come, they fly to the ball and fly with the ball.

All quick timing plays. When teams play like that, you need to get up there and jam the receivers once in awhile to throw the timing off and make the QB scramble and help the d-line get to him

From Sid

The Gophers received their 17th commitment this week, from Jonathan Ragoo, a 6-7, 359-pound offensive tackle Miami's Monsignor Edward Pace High School.

Big kid. Anyone know how he is rated? I'm sure size isn't all they would look at for a 4star

Thanks Tim. With his size and some good coaching he could still become a top draft choice in the future

And two star by Scout. Sounds like he's pretty raw and a definite redshirt candidate. He didn't have much else on the table, but I know a few other big schools were at least looking. Probably projects to OG or RT.

Also, I see we stole our 16th recruit away from Missouri......WR Marquise Hill.

How bad will we miss Cedric McKinley this weekend? Looks like A. Jacobs will start at DE and D.L. Wilhite will see more playing time.

Jacobs is from down here. His younger brother is a RB for Northfield right now

Anyone have any recent info on Sam Maresh?
Haven't hard a word on him for awhile.

Can we hang with Wisconsin?
We better, if we are truly improving.

Haven't seen much of Sam execept him carry the flag out at the opening of TCF Bank Stadium, but I have seen Ryan Grant in ganes and I've seen Alipate on the sidelines so they haven't red shirted him yet

I think Maresh is going to red shirt. He is one of a group of LBs that apparently coaches think is going to step right in when this senior group leaves and not miss a beat.

I hope we're still a second-half team. I'd love to see them open it up and get a comfortable lead. But we kick off to start...

The Gophers linemen are being pushed around on both sides. They need to get into the weight room more

Oh and Brewster have these kids ready mentally. Can't keep having these penalties and still expect to win big games

Absolutely NO protection from the o-Line late.
Pushed around.
Looked like a fun finish, then Weber turns it over .... again.
Still got a long ways to go, that wasn't a very good Wisconsin team either.
Disappointing.

Gophers can't run and can't stop the run. It will be a long year and will be hard to keep the better Minn kids in state

Jeff,
You asked me last week why I didn't think Brewster was a good coach and I provided a few reasons/examples. Throw today in there as well. There's no way you can watch this game today and say that the Gophers are a well-coached team. Again, he can recruit quality talent but he doesn't know what to do with them or how to devise a gameplan. The numerous bonehead penalties mixed with the horrendous red zone play-calling killed this team. I walk away from this game today convinced that the talent level is much higher on the Gophers' sideline but the coaching advantage made the difference.

Yeah, I'm not a real happy camper right now. I only got to see the 2nd half and Weber killed us again. Does that dude know you can throw it away? He takes 20 yard sacks all the time

I'd like to add it was a poor decision to try an onside kick with 2:53 left and 2 TO's. Everyone had to know they would run to use up clock time so why give them favorable field position. The odds of recovering that type kick are very high. Better chance of gettin them to go 3 and out

I don't see this team going to a bowl game

Was at the game today. TCF Bank Stadium is very nice!

Brewster has really screwed this team over. He came in wanting to run the spread and recruited for it. Now he's changed his offense to want to establish the run and do it how the Badgers do it. He doesn't have the players or coaches to do that. He's friggin' wasting one of the best WRs in college ball in Decker.

For those who say this isn't a good WI football team, I highly disagree. Are they national championship worthy? No. Are they good enough to win 9 games and make a New Year's Day game? Absolutely.

The talent level on the Gophers is NOT much higher than that on the Badgers.

QB - Small edge to WI. Tolzien has better pocket prescence and a better arm and legs.
RB - WI. By a healthy margin.
WR - MN. Decker's a stud, but not much after him. Still, he tips the scales as he's an elite playmaker.
TE - WI. By a mile.
OL - WI. By a mile.
DL - WI. Pass rush anyone?
LB - push. Both teams have some good players there.
CBs - MN. I think they have better athletes, but WI's are coached better.
