Gophers running game

Interesting move by Brewster to bring in what he is calling a running game coordinator. It definitely can't hurt since the Gophers run offense and red zone offense were completely futile. The spread offense does not work in the Big Ten, at least not with the players the Gophers currently have, so making adjustments to it seems logical. We'll see if any of the changes are noticeable in Detroit against Ball State on December 26th.

Speaking of Detroit, wow are the Lions abysmally bad. I was worried about the Vikings game against them next week since that is only winnable game they have left, but how in the world could anyone (including the Vikings) lose to them. Thanks for the two free wins Matt Millen.

106-80???

Did I see that right? The T-Wolves beat Detroit on the road by 26 points?!?! The Vikes win by 18 in an outdoor road game. The Goofs lose by 55 in a shutout on senior day in a quazi home game. Quite a weekend. What next, is the Dow going to erase it's losses for the year?
