YellowShirt Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Wonder if Bateman opts out again now that they started 0-2 1 4 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I know NU doesn't play Minnesota until the end of the season, but Sam McKewon made a good point in the OWH this week. It looks like Minnesota may struggle on defense all year, as the best defensive recruits under Kill and Claeys are now out of the program. It will also be interesting to see if the Minny "quits" on the season if their early losing skid continues. Quote Link to comment

Yep...any team with expectations (this year) that starts off 0-2 or 0-3, get ready to see some quitting. 2 Quote Link to comment

To push the 'quitting' even further - I would put it past Fleck (who is enough of a tool) that if their COVID cases are high enough (orange/red level) and they are out of contention to call off the last game.

Husker in WI Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Small sample size and everything, but they are giving up 8.6 yards per carry so far. Against teams that averaged 3.2 and 3.3 YPC in their other games. 2 Quote Link to comment
MasterPulverizer Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I love how Minnesota is feeling the same way that the Huskers felt last year when the reality did not measure up to the hype. I play golf with a Minnesota fan and his customized ProV1's say "34-7." He's been pretty quite as of late and I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment
everybody knows my name Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I think most of us in Minnesota are still looking at Nebraska as as much of a guaranteed win as Illinois. 1 Quote Link to comment

Which at this point is fair. But Maryland was even more of a guaranteed win than either of those, so I wouldn't guarantee anything this year. 2 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, you aren't wrong, but then Maryland whipped PSU, so maybe they were better than we all thought. The Gophers can't play defense, but at least we can count on the running game.

And it was week 1, so quite possibly not the best representation of what Maryland is now. But PSU might actually be bad too! It's crazy this year. You may not need to play defense against us, but I wouldn't bet on running for 300+ again either. Quote Link to comment
