I'll be interested to see who gets the bulk of the carries the rest of the season.  IMO, Whaley is the best of the crew by far.  More physical, more decisive, and seems faster than Bennett and Eskridge. 

It's gonna be tough sledding the next two weeks if we get nothing from the passing game, @PSU and @OSU.

I have to agree that at least Weber hasn't progressed.  You expect some mistakes from a young player, but Weber is not that anymore.  I wonder though....he spent a couple years running the spread, and is now in a more pro style offense.  Maybe it takes some time to adjust....or worse....many don't make that transistion at all. (at least from college to the NFL).  It isn't a lack of talent, I believe he has all the tools.

That said, I'm not sure the overall results would be better with a true freshman running the offense.  Even with the talents of a M. Gray.  I think some of problems with the offense is just the growing pains from changing systems.  Maybe it's time for the Brooks Michael, Ed Olson era.

I like watching the spread offense, but it made a lot of sense to change to more of a power running game.  I think Brew make a good (but maybe late) decision there.  We are only half way through the season and look at the weather this year.

Didn't they recruit Gray as a QB that could run the spread?

Yep, that was wide receiver Chris Hawkins.  He also held offers from: Arizona, Arizona State, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Houston, Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky, Nebraska, TCU, Tulsa, and Utah.  Hawkins is recruit #21 for the Gophers.  This is huge class so far, littered with 3 star players.  Look for at least a half dozen more before it's all said and done.

During the week, I saw actually 3 players that have given their verbals to Minn, one from Totino Grace and another a C whom I can't remember where his is from

HOW does that happen?
Sorry, Lynn, I haven't found a Gopher uni I don't like yet.
The gold reminds me of the late '70s
I think the whites are classy as well.
Some GREAT games today ... Neb/TT, USC/ND, Gophs/PSU (we usually at least hang in there against them, even tho they are better every year)

The defense, with its last dying breath, has the right to kick the crap out of the offense in the locker room at half time.
Spent the entire half on the field and held up well.
The offense sucked. And thats being nice.

Under Wacker, we could throw the ball.

Under Mason, we could run the ball.

Under Brewster, we have an all-world WR that can sometimes bail out our QB.
