Both coordinators impressed with Gophers....
(nice question from Daniel House about Monroe's links to Minnesota: dad was on staff for Wacker, so Monroe used to hang out at Gibson-Nagurski practice facility, ( I think he played at St. Cloud), says a lot of family still in Minnesota)
interim DC Nick Monroe on Gophs offense:
...they are absolutely enormous across the entire front...
...they want to ground and pound...run your tails into the ground...
...the oline is ridiculously large but moves very well....all 5 olinemen earned All-Big Ten honors in some form in a league known for great olinemen....
...the running back is an anomaly; he is really, really good....no disrespect to our opponents this year, but he may be the best we will have seen
...two QBs, the veteran and the young kid, who has been playing well
...PJ wants to run the clock, wants to take your will
...they are good, they are very, very good...it all starts up front with the o-line and works off the back
New DC Beck: well run 4-2-5....really aggressive, really physical, offense compliments defense by limiting possession time...very stout, very solid, good in coverage
