per Ruff:
So, what was that?
Who are the Gophers in this brand-new and much-publicized P.J. Fleck era?
Man, let's hope it's not that troubled offensive group that showed up for the first 57 minutes of Thursday night's season debut against woeful Buffalo.
But to win consistently, Minnesota is going to need a lot more out of its offense. That's especially true of its running game, the very thing that made it respectable under the previous coaching regime.
Fleck was asking for patience when the contest was done, saying that it's going to take more than a few weeks to get this offense where he wants it to be.
Rhoda offered the same assessment, pointing particularly to the guys up front.
"Our offensive line will just keep working," he said. "And pretty soon those 5-yard (rushing) gains will turn into 25-yard gains."
If it happens, that Fleck preseason sizzle will return. And if it doesn't? Well, sizzle will be replaced by fizzle.
