Michigan Pre-Game Notes from Gophersports.com
For your reading pleasure.
Some interesting notes on:
- Minnesota's defensive performance despite numerous injuries
- Surprisingly strong secondary performance despite injuries.
- Top Gopher wide receiver Tyler Johnson's YTD performance
- Comments about the Gophers' stable of impressive running backs, Rod Smith, Shannon Brooks, Kobe McCrary.
- Comments about rising star LB Thomas Barber (yes, that famous Barber family of athletes - Marion Barber, Marion Barber III, Dom Barber).

Looks like a lot of Minnesota players remain questionable for game @ Michigan this Saturday.

This will keep opposing Ds from stacking the line. I see another big day for our RBs. I think the current OL is beginning gel and are learning their zone blocking scheme. I see a 31-17 type win for Michigan. Even some of my OSU friends are beginning to worry about Michigan's running game.

One encouraging sign was OSU's awful kickoff coverage. Allowed the opening return TD to Barkley obviously but then another 60 yard return from Koa Farmer, an LB converted from S. Ambry is going to have a few opportunities to help our offense out a lot, or even score for us.

Something along the lines of people shouldn't be surprised when MSU beats us, rather they should be surprised whem we beat Sparty.

Whoa. He may regret that one.

Let's do the same thing, but with Gophers!

Check me if I'm wrong Sandy but if I kill all the golfers, well they're just going to lock me up and throw away the key.

I love that this is a night game and a big ten game. It has the feel of importance to it (which it is) and it's a great 2nd game for BP being a night game, a big game, yet still playing in the confines of the big house. If you ask me really couldn't ask for a better 3 games to get up to speed. Home day game against an "ok" defense but poor overall team, home night game against a decent team and a big ten game, and away game against an "ok" team but a day game an in atmoshere that won't be crazy right before you kick off two giant games. Really is a perfect progression of difficulty for a new QB.

Clearly, by the time we get to discussion Barbers and their history at Minnesota, we've run out of actual discussion points and have settled on a summary of the name "Barber" as it relates to Minnesota football. It was almost as if the author was trying to make something out of....not as much of something.

1. Minnesota has no quarterback, nor even a hope that either one could rise up. Just don't have one.
2. Winfield Jr. is their best defensive player. If he is still out, Peters should be fine.

Focus and execution. Oh and improvement of course. Go for the JUGular!
GO BLUE!!

If you want to see something even worse take a look at Wisconsin's schedule. They play one ranked team (us) all year. Woof.
