Look: we entered this year with two question marks: (1) QB; and (2) defensive backfield. Here's the clear picture of where we are... We now have a QB who can pass opportunistically. In other words, he is not yet able to run an offense organized around passing. But he can -- now --...

Before this season, I compiled a histogram analysis of Sean Tyler's carries from the previous year. And I noted that he had a tendency to carry for negative yards, but also had a significant capacity to go all the way. I was challenged about the losing yards observation, and i responded that...

This histogram includes all 56 of Darius Taylor's carries through three games. -1/3 of his carries go for 2 yards or less (2 yards is the mode). -1/3 of his carries go for 3-6 yards (median of 4). -1/3 of his carries go for 7+ yards. So based on my personal means of assessing a runner (mode +...

I had to view Saturday's game in a social environment, and could only watch three-quarter's of it. So my view of the game was unfocused and incomplete. That said, here's what I took away. (1) AK showed he has a strong arm and can throw all the routes. But we already knew that. (2) He was...

Out of curiosity, is anyone aware of whether the Gophers have heard from the NCAA concerning his waiver?

This is a histogram of Mo's carries (maroon) vs Sean Tyler's carries (blue) based on the regular season of last year. Since Mo had 1.5x the quantity of carries (209 vs 320), I multiplied Sean's carries in each category by 1.5 in order to control for volume. Some takeaways: -They are equally...

I just did that - several times over, and frame-by-frame. Vicarious joy is a hell of drug. Nothing better, really. I think I'll go pet a dog or be nice to a child now. The sun is shining here in Tampa.

Would it materially help the finances of Gopherhole, if a contingent within your audience were to commit to clicking on 1 or 2 ads per day? I'd be up for doing that, if I knew it would be meaningful to you. And I assume others would, too. So, what's up? Would that be a help? It would be...

Propositional football. What is it? If A, then B. If B, then C. And so on. Architecturally, this works. And from a "master plan" point of view, this is sound. As a matter of fact, it means you have a master plan. There is one problem. If "A" never occurs, the entire thing is derailed...

On a few occasions, I've notice him seal up the left edge of the line air-tight. And Mo always seems to get a big gain when that happens. ...Anyone else notice he seems to have a knack for sealing the edge?

I'd point out to PJ that he may want to reconsider his squeeze-the-life-out-of-the-game strategy when dominating in the opening half. Here's why. Notice that despite the statistical dominance, the Gophers hadn't really put the game away at the half? This means that if Thorne doesn't fumble on...

23 of 26 for 268 yds, and 3 TDs? He's had a top-line stat like that before. Several times, actually. That's not what I'm referring to. Distributing the ball to TEN different receivers? 6 balls to Brown-Stevens; 3 to Wright; 3 to Jackson; 3 to Spann-Ford; and so on. Today Tanner showed us...

Why it will come down to Dylan Wright. Again. Here’s the deal, gentlemen: -Rossi has the D locked in. The secondary will be good enough to permit the “manufacture” of pressure, if that’s needed, and to further permit substantial run support, if that’s needed (with Sori-Marin and Oliver, I...

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN3JlYCZNA4v2HHlV3h7ywA/featured New podcast. Focuses on the Gophers every weekday. About 30 minutes apiece - a few minutes less. These videos hardly have any views. We need to support this! (I use the term "'effers" with all due friendliness!)

It's been a while... I'd like to know that he's ok. We're a family here!

Sunday afternoon I was hanging out with a friend here: https://www.houseofbrewstampa.com/ My friend and I ended up meeting a guy at the bar who was an SEC referee (this fact came out while we were discussing a totally different topic). Anyhow, for what it's worth, I thought GH'ers might find...

Imagine this team with a pair of 6'10"+ Mbakwe's/Morphy's. It would solve the team's largest issues: (1) On a night when the opposing team can't shoot, they adjust by going inside, as all teams do when they can't shoot. We can't answer that - no rim protector. If we had a 6'10"+ M/M, we...

Jamison, Parker and Treyton. That's the start of a good looking lineup next year. Treyton with a year in the system and 20 lbs added to his frame. Jamison with a year of having been "the man." And Parker with his explosiveness. We just need to develop Carrington and Henley, and add one...

I was perusing a Michigan basketball discussion board, and several of the fans there were grumbling about Michigan's inability to shoot - i.e., as a phenomena separate and apart from defensive pressure applied by the Gophers. Their point was that this particular year's squad is simply not...

Are they the first test? Sorry to be lazy - I'm kinda busy and can't do the research myself, but I'm interested, and figure one of you knows the scoop.
