Zimmer's offense was avant-garde compared to what Fleck has trotted out the last 2 years. My concern is that Kaliakmanis is going to ponder the idea of handing the ball off 50 times a game with the occasional slant pass mixed in for the next 3 years. Then he is going to decide that entering the portal is his best option.


Mo is a top back and it works on lesser teams but in order to be a top program and when the Gophers were at their best they had 2 Pro Prospects at WR and a Pro Prospect at TE.

He has a pro prospect at TE right now.....to help Athan out he needs to get another WR or two with Autmann Bell.

I can't remember which game it was (Illinois or Purdue) but Stephens Brown dropping a pass right into the bread basket and it turning into an INT was the turning point of the season.

That is the one thing about Fleck that surpised me. Coming in he had a top WR and QB. I haven't seen the passing offense except when we had Bateman and Johnson.

He has developed Olineman, LB, and DB more than QB and WR.

I hate Harbaugh and Michigan but they figured this out. I hate THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY even more.

That said, Athan looks like he could be a player. Cupboard doesn't appear to be empty although we'll be losing Mo and several other experienced vets. We need a season where we don't lose significant talent like we have been.

Win the bowl game and go at it again next year. Row the Boat!

Maybe Athan wasn’t ready for a more pass offense but the difference in arm strength alone is huge.

I guess he looked at their QB of the future next ours and decided to jump. Because Wisconsin changed coaches mid-season he was able to enter the portal early.

Imagine if PJ had played Athan some last year (they can play 3 their Freshman year) and some earlier this year...huh. He looks fully capable after a few games of experience to hit on passes Morgan couldn't.

My little brother think PJs is that loyal....I am used to coaches playing Freshman and Sophmores that are almost as good.

And my other hope, as our fate seems to be trending uphill, was that our recruiting would see a sunshiney outlook.

That transfer may be the first hint of both of those.

They grabbed the coach from Cincy...if he has access to Ohio HS football recruits you may not get that wish.

The rivalry is better when both teams are good.

Nothing against Morgan, he is what he is and he made the most of his opportunity, seizing the job, seemingly ages ago from more highly regarded competition. But he peaked out a while ago, Fleck did the right thing by moving on, though I was somewhat surprised he did. Morgan has been a real trooper. But PJ is all about evolving and getting better.

I expect Morgan will quickly go into coaching once his fantasy of continuing to play football dies, which will happen immediately or very soon. And I bet he’ll be a good coach.
