Definitely more than starting from scratch. Quote Link to comment
Dogs In A Pile Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 38 minutes ago, Mavric said: He did not That's what I was thinking but hesitated to post it since I wasn't sure. Regardless, looking at the stats it's hard to see how Minn. won that game. Syracuse dominated in about every category. But they did have 2 turnovers and Minn had 118 KO return yards on 3 kicks. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Definitely more than starting from scratch. Well his defense that he wasn't calling plays for only gave up 28 points. I also didn't watch the game so I don't know if the offense or special teams gave up points. Or what the average field position was. Two different people calling plays for the same defense or offense can net very different outcomes Quote Link to comment

That and Syracuse kicking 2 FGs instead of getting a TD were the difference. 1 Quote Link to comment
JWHusker Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 From the article… “its top-20 rushing attack was limited to 2.3 yards per carry — the sixth lowest total in six years under coach P.J. Fleck” seems like the defense held up okay. 4 Quote Link to comment

They don’t know what he’s going to do with our personnel. 1 Quote Link to comment

A bit off the subject of Tony White (but something he will have to deal with) is the new face of the Minnesota RB, with Ibrahim now in the NFL (Detroit Lions). What I find odd is that they guy behind him on the depth charts (Trey Potts), TRANSFERS to Penn St. with 2 years of eligibility left. It's closer to his PA home, but he will likely be mostly depth there. What is the Penn State plan for Trey Potts ahead of preseason camp? Trey Potts opens up on Minnesota career, Penn State transfer and upcoming move to Happy Valley Meanwhile, Minnesota grabs a transfer portal guy to be their presumptive starter: Mohamed Ibrahim departs, will this opportunity mean an upgrade or a downgrade for Gopher running backs? 1 Quote Link to comment

Change some Orange to Red and it's a familiar Nebraska story of an L that could easily have been a W. 1 Quote Link to comment
