I hope I don't sound like I'm beating a drum here, especially when replying to you, @Pennsyhusker , since you've seemed like a respectable poster since I've been here. Respectful comments from opposing fans can be engaging, though.They do not seem to have much talent coming back, but they have a stable coaching staff, develop players well, and have had our number.
We are as loaded at the skill positions on offense more than any other season for Fleck here, save maybe 2019. We should have at least a 3rd team all B1G left tackle, if not better (I just don't know much about the other LTs in the B1G, but ours is really good). Rest of o-line should hold it's own. Solid depth across the defense, strongest in the secondary probably.
Not trying to toot the Gophers horn, just that it's hard to get a read on other teams unless you visit their fan boards this time of year.
I gotta admit, I'm excited to see what Rhule will do, as the suffering for you guys the past two seasons was pretty bad. (I know it was longer than that with Frost, but in 2021 and 2022, but 2021 especially, the way you would lose games...) I'm happier that the game is the first one, as opposed to being in November when you guys have things figured out better.
