  • Gopher football insight you can’t find anywhere else

    I love this podcast, thoughtful breakdowns of the team, updates on recruiting and recaps. So much better than what you get from the quacks who are on AM radio for a reason.

  • Free play

    Home cooking for the Huskers continued on Saturday when, with 1:29 left in the game and Nebraska out of Time Outs, they ran a play where the clock DID NOT START!!!!

    It appeared that neither the officials NOR Gophers coaches etc. noticed!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 434: Indiana Breakdown
Q: Do you think the Drake Lindsey discussion is probably topic number one, even over what the offensive coordinator is at this point of where is this thing going if it continues to look this way for the next four games?
Derek Burns says teams are evaluating every position group and their plans for the following season, then diagnoses Lindsey's trouble with pre- and post-snap reads as a pressure-related issue that could be addressed through protection and simpler passing concepts.
Episode 434: Indiana Breakdown
Q: Where do you stand on the Drake Lindsey conundrum right now?
Luke Buer says Lindsey has missed available throws and made costly errors, while Derek Burns attributes his struggles to pressure and recommends simplifying his reads and adding more protection.
Episode 432: Iowa Breakdown
Q: So from your perspective up in the press box, how much was that defense cooking?
Ryan describes it as one of the best defensive performances he has seen in a rivalry game, highlighting the physical play at all three levels and Minnesota's four forced fumbles.
Episode 432: Iowa Breakdown
Q: Do you think that's an accurate representation of where Drake Lindsay is at, where he's not stepping into every throw, he's getting very... There's a semblance of pressure, especially from the A and B gaps. He is bailing and he's not going through his reads. But do you think that's where it starts for him, is just getting sped up and this pressure getting on top of him and then it just cascades from there or where are you at with them?
Derek says Lindsay is accurate on quick throws against zone and man coverage, but has struggled to extend plays and progress beyond his first read under pressure. He thinks Lindsay is getting skittish, and that pass protection and coaching adjustments will be important.
Episode 412: Conversations with OC Greg Harbaugh and DC Danny Collins
Q: What role does leadership play on the defensive side heading into fall camp?
Player leadership is highlighted as a defining factor, with key leaders like Maverick Baranowski, Anthony Smith, and John Nestor driving focus, consistency, and accountability across the defense.
