I did manage to see the majority of your game this past Thursday.
1. Running game is improved about 100%. This allowed the Gophs to dominate time of possession, which is an underappreciated stat, and control the game.
2. Send Jeff Horton a thank you card. He put your guys in the best position to succeed. Given what you can recruit this offense best suits the talents of the Gophs roster.
3. Bennett was impressive, bouncing off defenders and running really hard.
4. Kirkwood has the potential to be special. Should have a nice rotation in there as the season progresses.
5. MTSU was not able to expose your weaknesses on either side of the ball. Other teams will. They were just so small up front that they had to devote all resources to stopping the run. Will the Gophs be able to move the ball when So. Cal and others stop the run? Your receivers were unimpressive. Decker's loss is significant.
6. Your Defense is a work in progress. Looked okay against this team, but these guys are going to get gashed against a power run team.
7. Overall, I would up my victory total guesstimate for the Gophers. Maybe five. Probably not enough to save Brew's job. I think he has the right scheme now, but it took him four years to figure it out and hire the right guys to implement it. Brew's comment on the Big Ten Network preview was very telling when speaking of the offense: "this fits exactly what I want to do when we have the ball" Well maybe you should have done it from the beginning, ya think?
If they stay healthly and the Gophers well be in a lot of games this year.
