Gophers Football

8-4, and it feels like we under achieved. Not bad.

Here's the 2022 schedule - https://gophersports.com/sports/football/schedule/2022

At Michigan State, Penn State, and Wisconsin. Hopefully they can steal one of those. The home games should all be wins. A 9-3 or 10-2 season is actually kind of possible.

Was great to be outside watching Gopher football on a beautiful night. I have a really good feeling about this team with their depth and quality of players on both sides of the ball. There isn't a game on their schedule that they should lose if they play their best football. Having Kirk Ciarrocca back as Offensive Coordinator is a big step forward for the offense which struggled the past two seasons with route design and general play design. Very glad Fleck let two guys he was friends with Mike Sanford (OC) and Robb Smith (DC) go and replaced them with guys that seem to get the most out of their personnel. 

Anyone else here a Gopher fan?

Yeah, I enjoyed the first game. I figure this team could finish the season in the top 20 but they aren't good enough to be a top 10 team.

The time is now for the Gophers to make the Big 10 title game. The schedule is never going to be easier than it is right now. Iowa looks terrible, and we’ve got the monkey off our back winning against Wisconsin. 

Tons of experience on this team, with Morgan and Ibrahim as 6th year seniors. I would have liked to see Morgan air it out more in the 1st game… I fear the only thing he can read on the field is the RPO slant pass.

Anyone watch the Gophers? Other than Penn St, all the other games are winnable from here on out. Really exciting season.

I saw the first half and then went to the Twins game. I'm cautiously optimistic about this team. Been let down too many times. 

 

I think every game is winnable.

Disappointing homecoming loss today vs. Purdue. This offense can’t function without Mo Ibrahim at RB.

Yeah, I still think this team can finish the year as a top 20 team but it's so hard to watch this offense at times. The defense played better than the final score indicated. And, while I like Fleck, he made some stupid decisions. It's good that he's so emotional - I think it's an overall benefit - but it does have real downside. 

Also, that dropped TD in the endzone that became an interception was a backbreaker.
