They should have recruited Ben Revere šŸ˜‰

I'm not sure what I should infer from that.


Even at his current age since Revere used football passing to improve his arm

Heā€™s be a better quarterback than either of
Morgan and Axe

Truly sad state

Unfortunately the teams Minnesota are playing donā€™t care come game time

If itā€™s partially the reason or not

A change needs to be made

And Sweens is right
Bringing a guy back who lost the job YEARS ago

Yuck

"The Gophers rank No. 7 nationally in rushing attempts per game. Again, the top three are service academies.

That's an average of 18 passes per game versus 48 runs."

They have had much better running backs than they've had quarterbacks.

This is what I don't get Steve. Every year they recruit 4 star QB's and 4 star WR. How are they this bad at passing the football? Must be coaching.

According to Rivals.com, the Gophers have only signed two 4-star quarterbacks since 2002. Jacob Clark (2019) and MarQueis Gray (2008). Clark has thrown one pass in his career so far.

As a guy who understands a bit about this industry I can tell you this. Most great quarterbacks are not going to sign for a program that ranks No. 7 in rushing attempts. It's not in their best interest if they wish to make an impression on pro scouts.

247 lists both Clark and Athan Kaliakmanis, currently on the roster, as 4 star recruits.

No disclosure why.

I wonder what it could be. Well I hope whatever it is isnā€™t career threatening and is limited to this year.

For a football standpoint, I think heā€™s easy enough to replace. Potts was showing promise, he was very solid, but for now anyway he was a step down from Mo. Next man up. Or run it by committee until someone establishes himself.

And for Godā€™s sake maybe take this as a cue to not be so run reliant, and open up the offense a bit.

Too bad they had to run their top 2 so much they both got hurt before throwing the ball more.....

Morgan, late/short on many deep throws.

Good think Martinez is struggling.

Their teams always play down to the opponents level, but rarely play up to a better opponents level.
