Of Gopher Football.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
No here's the voice of the Gophers, Mike Gridam.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Hey, we're off and running at another edition of Gopher
Football Weekly with PJ. Fleck coming off the bye week
and a full restaurant here the Tipsy Steer in High
Pines in Roseville. Great to be along with everybody. We've
got a Friday night game this week, so we'll talk
about that. The Oregon Ducks hosting the Minnesota Golden Gophers
Friday night, a bye week last week, and then that

(01:18):
big win. We talked last week with Drake, Lindsay and
Coy parrots here and a lot of you were here
for that, and a lot of you listened on the radio.
We had a great show last week. Jag missed it,
but I'm sure you would listen back to it multiple times.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
Yeah, yeah, multiple times. It was tremendous, great work. Probably
the best show.

Speaker 6 (01:33):
Of the season. It might be, this might be. We
do have the head coach with us.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
We gave him the week off last week from a
show standpoint, but I know the week was not. You
did not get the rest of the week off. You
were busy last week with a lot of different things.
How was the bye week generally for you and your club?

Speaker 1 (01:48):
It was great?

Speaker 7 (01:49):
First of all, How was Drake and Coy? Everybody liked Drake.
How fun have those guys here?

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Right?

Speaker 7 (01:56):
First of all, Coy's like, you know, I don't want
to do this, Yeah, I don't like I don't like
Hawk and the people, and he was you're gonna do it?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, You're gonna definitely do it. It's good for you.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
So we got it pretty spicy when we started talking
about their golf competitions.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Oh, I'm sure he perked right up.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
He did, and he all of them. He called Drake
that he choked.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
He choked in some sort of a youth event of
some sort Drake joke, that's what he said.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
I don't think Drake's ever beat Coy though, or Coy's.

Speaker 8 (02:19):
Never beat Rake.

Speaker 6 (02:20):
No, yeah, I think it's like forty eight.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
No, So we had to like find yeah, exactly right.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
But it was ri fing to see the that's a
little snarkyness of course competition.

Speaker 7 (02:29):
I got a chest a golf with both of them
in my foursome. Yeah, we did a uh in the
in the offseason. I thought was really cool. Uh, we're
not playing that much everybody, just so everybody knows, but
we did kind of we matched the player our football
players up with some of the men's golf team and
we put a coach with everybody and we went out
for you know, nine holes and kind of got our
men's golf team kind of connected with our football team.
And of course we got to see the groups and

(02:52):
Garrett got to make the groups. But my group, of
course we won, but it was because of Drake, because
of Drake Lindsay.

Speaker 8 (02:59):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (02:59):
And then we had coach with us, so coach Smith,
so we were able to we were able to win.
So uh, had the had the head golf coach. Can
you really say we won in this scenario?

Speaker 9 (03:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (03:07):
Yeah, Justin Smith and he had Drake Lindsay.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, I speaking of clutch Justin Smith, you know he'll
need like hit the Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:15):
Listen.

Speaker 7 (03:16):
It was a random draw. Who was on everybody's team
random draw. I just happened to be Smith and Drake
and Coy and just happened to win. So it just uh,
it was great. I went last. I never had to
hit a shot. Yeah, it was It was perfect. So anyway,
U bye week by week? I think that was a question.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
He said, bye week, you know, I mean, uh, Bye
week was really good. We spent time.

Speaker 7 (03:36):
We have two bye weeks this year, which doesn't necessarily
happen every single year. Sometimes there's only one by week,
sometimes there's two by week. Garrett can tell you all
the details of why that is. But we have two
bye weeks this year. So the first bye week I
kind of stayed in a little bit and let our
coaches go out, did a ton of recruiting nows with
our team. Uh, you're doing a ton of work preparing,
not only just doing like a process audit of your
own team, but you're looking at other teams or other

(03:57):
teams as you keep going forward.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (04:00):
And then this bye week I went out and our
coaching stadium with our players a little bit more. So
I thought that was really good. We wanted to get
healthy for the most part. We'll have some guys back,
some guys not out, some back, but we want to
get healthy, do a process audit, and then respond and
get ready for the next three games, especially with another
top top ten opponent and another top five defense that
we're going to face here in the Oregon Ducks, and

(04:20):
a really good offense.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
So I thought we really took advantage of the bye week.

Speaker 7 (04:23):
A lot of recruits, a lot of commits this week,
which was really good for us, which is a byproduct
of our recruiting. And really proud of our staff that
was back here and got the job done. So a
lot of good things happening in the bye week.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, and a lot to unpack there generally, even guys
that are healthy. I mean, at this time of the year, right,
everyone's got some bruises and bumps. Guys that are healthy
home important is it for them too, just to have
an extra week just to even whether it's refresh your
mind or you know, have some of those bumps and
bruises heal up, let alone guys who have also missed
time trying.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I think you hit it on the head.

Speaker 7 (04:52):
I mean it's not only the physical piece, which you know,
we just had six straight Big ten games in a row.
Of course our teams beat up, but we were talking
about the piece and the emotional piece of a Big
ten schedule and the demands we put on our student
athletes right now. To be able to step back from
that a little bit, get those guys mentally, physically and
emotionally recharged, and then get a lot of the young

(05:13):
players a ton of reps really kind of helps your
football team springboard in the next nineteen days.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
So who's in charge when you're gone, Like, who's running
the practice?

Speaker 6 (05:21):
How does that work? Well?

Speaker 7 (05:22):
Dan Nickel runs the practice. Our head strength coach, which
you all know, Dan Nichol. So it was kind of
interesting because Mason Carrier at the end of practice.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
This is what I'm told from Garrett. At the end of.

Speaker 7 (05:32):
Practice kind of stood up in front of the entire
team when Coach Nickel brought him up to break it down,
and he's like, how about coach Nickel running practice today?
And everybody went nuts. So I guess he did a
really good job. But yeah, coach Nickel becomes the head coach.
That way the coaches can keep doing their job and
they don't have to worry about Okay, I have to
pretend to be the head coach today and it takes
away from somebody else.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
So coach Nickel steps in.

Speaker 7 (05:53):
He's been with me the longest, been to every single
practice that we've had together for thirteen straight years. So
he runs the practice. He gets to act as the
head coach, kind of get everybody where they need to be.
And I thought he did an outstanding job.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
He wasn't wearing a were wolf mask?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Was he not this week?

Speaker 6 (06:06):
Not this week?

Speaker 1 (06:07):
How's a few weeks ago? Yeah, that didn't work.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
It was it was that part of the Halloween thing.
I gues it was part of the Halloween. Yeah, yeah,
it was. It was an internal message and that you know,
he takes it to it extreme and it was great.
It was it was great, and we've done it every week.
He's doing something different. So yeah. Also, along those bye
week you mentioned recruiting. I know you probably can't talk
specifics in terms of individual players, but you mentioned you

(06:31):
got some commits. Obviously you're still you know, working on
that and you're hoping to keep them all with you
through the signing day and all that stuff. Probably still
some nerve wracking times. Still adding to how generally have
you liked recruiting at this point and how important was
this past week.

Speaker 7 (06:47):
Yeah, I think this is what's shaping up to be
our best class, if not one of the best classes
we've ever had. We've got twenty three days till signing day,
but who's counting nineteen days left of the regular season,
twenty three days left until signing day portal right after that,
so we've got we've got a long way to go,
but it's really really exciting. I mean, this is where
you get into the end of the season. You get
to November football, where a lot of decisions are made,

(07:08):
bowl game prep, you get into all that stuff that
we've come to expect, which we want to be able
to do that, but Also, you've got that short window,
so come end of January, the rosters are pretty built,
which is very different than last year when you had
that second portal window in that April area, and that
was that was a nightmare.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
To be out of that.

Speaker 7 (07:25):
That was really really difficult because you just never knew
who was your team. It's kind of like having the
NFL Draft and then being able to trade for those
draft picks right after the NFL Draft about two weeks
later after your first Mini camp or two. That doesn't
make any sense. They're under contract, they got to stay there.
They've been drafted by that team. So it's I'm really
glad we brought a little bit of sense to college

(07:45):
football by making the one portal change.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
Refreshers a little bit on how you guys do the
self scout stuff with the buys, Like, how do you
break it down as a staff offense and defense.

Speaker 7 (07:55):
Yeah, I mean it really is a We talked about
this being a process audit not even just a self scout.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
I think self scout is a lot of different things.

Speaker 7 (08:02):
But we broke it down more of our process process
of the way we practice, how we practice looking at
our processes on offense, defense, and special teams.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
We've got to do the simple things way better.

Speaker 7 (08:12):
And we know that going into this year when we
have a lot of young players playing. If you didn't know,
some of our best players haven't played all year, and
then you also have a freshman quarterback or you have
a young quarterback, so you know there's gonna be some
extreme highs and there's gonna be some really really hard times.
And we knew this is going to be a growth year.
Doesn't mean it has to be a bad year. It's
a growth year, right, There's a lot to learn, so
we've got to continue to do the simplest things better.

(08:35):
Sometimes when you have a really young player, they'll abandon
their technique first because.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
It seems a little odd, it seems a little.

Speaker 7 (08:41):
Awkward, it's not what they're used to, and you've got
to stay really consistent in teaching those fundamentals and details.
So it's going back to all the littlest things of
whether it's offensive line play and it's a white block
and it's a reach block, and it's the first step,
it's your second step vertical through the you know, through
the growing of the defender, Like are we really getting
that or are we just doing it. Are we banding

(09:03):
our technique? Are we really fundamentally sound And at times
we said we're not. We're disciplined, we're just at times
not as fundamentally sound as we want to be. So
it was really pulling back the curtain on all those
fundamentals and techniques that we can change and we can
get better at in the next three weeks, because you
can look at wholesale changes, but that's very different that
you can't necessarily get better at in three weeks. This

(09:23):
is the fundamental techniques, the attention to detail within the
fundamental that you plug into a scheme that you got
to go execute under the pressure of the situation that
you have to get better at right now.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Is there a time, maybe the bye week offer some
time where you can just step back from football for
a minute, or is there nothing at any point, even
if it's just for three hours to watch them?

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean whatever.

Speaker 7 (09:47):
Our coaches got off, you know, right when we got
done with the game, were the Michigan State win.

Speaker 6 (09:53):
It was a great win.

Speaker 7 (09:54):
It was a great comeback whin ahead, than behind, and
ahead and then tied and behind, and then we came
back and and then overtime. You got a lot of
free football last Saturday. Last Saturday, so you're welcome. But
when you looked at it, we kind of took that
Sunday off. Everybody got a refresh and then the Saturday
everybody had off this past Saturday. But other than that,
I mean with recruiting and football and getting better and

(10:15):
there's a lot to get better at. So our coaches
were in the office and players are around, and I
thought everybody handled it really well.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Was there when you come off of a bye week?
I know you guys are process oriented. Sunday win or lose,
you want that same process, But is there does it feel.

Speaker 6 (10:29):
Different last week coming off of a win going into
a bye week?

Speaker 3 (10:32):
I know the first bye week was not the way
you probably wanted to go into it, with the loss
of cal or Is it really that deal?

Speaker 6 (10:39):
Sunday it's over and we move into it.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Well, it's over.

Speaker 7 (10:42):
The twenty four hour rule always applies, But I can't
tell you that the feeling doesn't stick with you when
you have a bye week. Yeah, usually when you're in
a normal week, twenty four hour rules a lot easier
because you flush it and boom, you're already into practice
and opponents, you know, five days away, four days away,
so that's a lot easier to do. When you have
a bye week, it just lingers longer, right, And we
got a really good job of finding a way to
score one more point thing the opponent going into the

(11:03):
bye week this past time. And that makes it a
lot better. You know, I'm not saying that, you know,
it's just ones just so much easier than the other
because you're still working, sure, you're still moving on and
you're going.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
It's just the vibe is way better once you win, obviously.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
Yeah, all right, let's take our first break. We'll come back.

Speaker 6 (17:22):

Speaker 2 (17:25):

Now an I.

Let's say on the boot blang there it is the
AVR remix. We want to thank AVR for their support
those wre the game tying or the game tying touchdown,
of the game winning touchdown late regulation and in overtime.
Lindsay Scores both asked Drake about that last week, and
I wanted to ask you coach about it too, because

(18:05):
to me, I'm fascinated by the whole thing. Drake mentioned
that as he's breaking the huddle, they call I think.

Speaker 6 (18:11):
It was a thirty four blast? Was I think what
he said?

Speaker 3 (18:14):
And then Greg Harbow, your offensive coordinator, said, but keep it.

Speaker 6 (18:18):
Did you hear that? And were you nervous?

Speaker 1 (18:21):
I don't know about nervous.

Speaker 7 (18:23):
My eyes kind of went, okay, we're going to do that,
you know, because it was in the heat of the moment,
like literally broke the huddle. Thirty four blast, here we go.
You know, Ted bluady eight blue, keep it. I want
you to keep it all right, Boot snapped the ball,
kept it his platefake was average?

Speaker 6 (18:40):
He did?

Speaker 3 (18:42):
He said that face been better, he would have had
a much easier time probably scoring the touchdown.

Speaker 7 (18:49):
Yeah yeah, but now everybody thinks he's a dual threat.
He's got five rushing touchdowns on the year. Yeah, And
I think he considered himself as a dual threat quarterback.
I think that's what he's he's attempting to convince.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
Trying to get you some spread options, play option.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, it's to get him out and it's a quarterback draws,
you know, wishbone.

Speaker 6 (19:07):
Maybe maybe you never know, you never know.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Two other follow ups on that, we heard the quarterback
sneak in regulation, you're a point behind. Did the thought
of a two point conversion ever into your mind? No,
go and play overtime at home?

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, I mean there's there's certain rules to that.

Speaker 7 (19:23):
Just like I talk about like going for two until
the fourth court, I don't go for two until the
fourth quarter, right to chase points early. That's a philosophy,
whether the book says that or not. Like, that's a
philosophy I have of the way I was raised in
the way that I believe as a head football coach,
now you have to make decisions that that's the exact
same way. There's an old saying, when you're at home,
go for the tie, get the overtime.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
When you're away, go for the win.

Speaker 7 (19:45):
Now, people are always going to hold me to that,
and then we're gonna get to that situation, like you.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Said, whether it works or not.

Speaker 7 (19:51):
General, that's a general rule that I was taught, and
that goes all the way back, you know, to to
Jim Dressel days.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
I mean, that's that's what I was taught. I've watched
it unfold and for the most part.

Speaker 7 (20:01):
It's been it's been really good because again, you got
your home field advantage.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
You want to be able to go to overtime.

Speaker 7 (20:06):
You want to be able to hopefully win the toss,
go on defense end play in your your student's end.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Zone, you know, on that side.

Speaker 7 (20:12):
So it doesn't exactly work out in the perfect world,
but those are some things just kind of to start
on philosophically.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Yeah, and then we or Drake actually brought this up
independent last week that if the if the play gets overturned,
where you know, his left foot definitely did hit out
of bones. I think there was never a great angle
really to show up. But I think if I had
to bet, I would say that the ball was over
when his foot hit.

Speaker 6 (20:35):
I think, of course it was, yes, the uphold was right.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
But they reviewed it.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yes, if they however, let's just for the fun of
the discussion.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Say, why do we want to do that.

Speaker 6 (20:43):
Because we want to know what you would have done.
Drake said, Oh, we would have gone for it. What
would head coach PJ. Fleck have done?

Speaker 7 (20:49):
Well, I just told you right that the my book
that I believe in says kick.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
The extra point. But if it was an inch, you
probably wouldn't.

Speaker 7 (20:58):
Yeah, the the persuasion from the guys that are on
your team, uh that I think that would have been
a no brainer.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
We would have went for it.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, And you're right, at most it could have been
six inches, right, so you just push that line.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, but I mean truly it was an inch.

Speaker 7 (21:13):
Yeah, Like if you were going to spot that ball,
you got to spot that ball with like a millimeter, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
But they didn't have to worry about it because he
was clearly clearly the goal.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
Clearly.

Speaker 7 (21:23):
You saw the same jumbo trump replay that I saw.

Speaker 6 (21:26):
I was clearly and it was a touchdown.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
And and so thirty four blast keep it worked and
the Gophers get the win.

Speaker 7 (21:34):
Yeah that's way too Minnesota, nice right there? Yeah, Like
replaying that in my mind like what if it didn't
happen though, But it did happen.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
It did happen.

Speaker 7 (21:41):
Let's not be nice to the other guys that made
it happen.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
So true, very true, No, I just like insight.

Speaker 7 (21:47):
So then but then his body like how did the
actually I even told him afterwards, how did you actually
like step out of bounce in that like, yeah, in
the way that he stepped out of bounce, I said,
I would have ripped my hamstring in half. Yeah, Like,
that doesn't even make sense to me that you land
the way he landed, with his foot inside the bilog
and the ball.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Kind of reached but not. Yeah, well he did say
he followed your rule. He was not going to reach,
which I appreciate, which he did not. You know, we've
talked about that. I think that was with Tracy right,
Raymond's touchdown earlier this year.

Speaker 6 (22:16):
I forget which game that was, but he if it
was fourth down, he should have he should have reached.

Speaker 7 (22:20):
But field are two point play, he should have reached,
but not on third down next play.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah, so he don't get to touch back then the
gay the other one purpose he didn't reach, and he
wanted to make sure that he lived another day.

Speaker 7 (22:30):
Well, thank god he got in because if he said, well,
coach told me not to reach, and that why I
didn't score.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
I see how it goes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (22:39):
You're you're you're turning into a Minnesota already. Yeah, look
at it.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Nine years later.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
Do we have the bucket for the bookstore gift card?

Speaker 6 (22:48):
We do?

Speaker 8 (22:48):
We do.

Speaker 5 (22:49):
If anybody else would like to coach to discuss the
hypothetical that didn't happen, write it down in the bucket
and put it over there, we will do it. I
think in the fourth segment. Yeh, sure you have nine
years ago just could have been just go through some
more hypotheticals. Yeah, let's talk about it.

Speaker 7 (23:02):
I've got a lot of hypotheticals that could have went
the other way too, for sure in the positive, no question,
that didn't go really well.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
So how about the last drive you talked about. You know,
they kick it out of bounds, which I'm sure on
their side they going, what are we doing? You can't
kick it out of it? I can't give anything. Then you
have the face mask and all of a sudden you're
at midfield. But you mentioned that even the feeling on
the sideline was they kicked it out of bounce. Okay,
we got we got a shot here, We're not pin deep.
We're not we're not too far back. It was obviously,
you know, tough situation that you were up against. But

(23:27):
kind of take us through what you saw from your
team in that drive.

Speaker 7 (23:29):
Well, i mean, Drake's going up and down the sideline.
We got to go like here we go, like we're
gonna go down to score. And that's what you want
from you from your freshman quarterback. And whether you can
go execute that or not is going to be, you know,
what determines the game. And obviously we were able to
do that them kicking.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
It out of bounds.

Speaker 7 (23:43):
We had two timeouts left, and when you kind of
look at how we manage the game, I mean, you've
got one forty basically right to run your offense, and
after the face mask, you're not you're not really in
two minute mode. You're kind of in like two and
a half minute mode because you have plenty of time,
so you're able to run the football still, You're able
to hit your check downs, you're able to give or
take what the defense is giving you.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
And it's okay to do that if it's different.

Speaker 7 (24:04):
Than no timeouts, thirty five seconds left and now you
got to go sixty yards that's very different, right, because
you're gonna have to get.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Some chunks in there.

Speaker 7 (24:11):
We were very content with allowing our guys hit checkdowns.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Cam Davis had a really good you.

Speaker 7 (24:16):
Know, and he had three catches that on that drive,
if I may had a really good run, we were
able to Jamison Gears had two catches.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
That was really big for us.

Speaker 7 (24:24):
We got a p I call on that too, and
it was we were able to still run our offense,
but just do it in a little bit more of
an uptempo way where I didn't feel like we were
in truly two minute and our guys handled that really well.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yeah, because you're trying to throw that needle to win,
you score, you don't want to leave them with a
bunch of time to try to win the game themselves.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, I think perceptionally everybody's like, we got to hurry
up and score. Well, a minute.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
Forty seconds in football might as well be like twenty
five minutes.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
I mean, it is a long time.

Speaker 7 (24:49):
Heather always says that, I'm like, hey, just one second,
there's forty six seconds left in this game. I gotta
watch it. She's like, that could take twenty minutes. She's right, Yes,
that could take twenty minutes, and so we we I
knew that we were going to be able to move
the ball the way we wanted to move the ball.
And you know, they were in their two minute defense,
which were really familiar with, and I thought our guys
handled that really well to a high level of execution.

Speaker 6 (25:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
In fact, there was some game I was watching somebody
they were trying to drive in, got it like first
and goal at the eight with like fifty seconds and
clacked it And I'm like, fifty seconds, Why you're wasting
it down here?

Speaker 7 (25:19):
But I think that's where people can get really confused
if we've.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Had that happen in our crowd.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
To be honest, at times, like we're getting booed at
something because we're not going fast enough where I'm really
not wanting them to get the ball back because you're
playing offense, but the way you're running your scheme is
you're truly playing defense with your offense to make sure
you can't give them an opportunity to go down and score.
And even the time we left them was still too
much for me. I think it was like twenty some seconds.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
That was a lot.

Speaker 7 (25:46):
That's an eternity. Look at the NFL. Look at the
Bills Chiefs game from years ago, right then, well right
down the field in two plays in like eleven seconds
and were able to win the football game and head
in the.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Championship game, so or in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 7 (25:58):
So you're just never comfort and you want to make
sure that you go down and score with nothing left.
And I thought that was our team executed it really
well and got it under thirty seconds, which gave us
the best chance.

Speaker 6 (26:09):
To win before that.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
Like, what impressed me about it was, I think in
the second half, what was the number game you said
it before? They had like forty four yards offensively in
the second half, Right, the Michigan State was playing good defense.
So to be able to like first of all, kind
of take us through how they were limiting certain things
and why it was difficult, and even more so being
able to flip the switches the wrong term, but still
execute after it had not been your day in the

(26:32):
second half up until that point.

Speaker 7 (26:34):
I mean, that's what ro the boats all about, the
ability to respond to certain circumstances.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Not everything's going to go right.

Speaker 7 (26:39):
They made a few adjustments and we made a few adjustments.
It was more about the fundamental piece of us. It was,
you know, we were a little bit off our back
foot in the quarterback position. Our second step wasn't very good.
On the offensive line, we weren't finishing blocks. They did
a good job of getting us on the ground. We'd
missed by a foot and a throw. Our accuracy wasn't
as good. We'd drop a ball or you know, we'd
run around a little deeper than it was supposed to be.

(27:02):
So it was the fun, That's what I meant about
the just cleaning up those things. It wasn't drastic, but
when you're you know, third and two and you don't
get it, I mean, that's the difference. It's the small,
tiny little things. And we had enough of those that
gave them an opportunity to get back in the game,
and unfortunately they did, and then we were able to
respond to that, which shows the resolve of this football team.
And I told you this is this football team. I

(27:23):
didn't know how many wins are going to have. I
still don't, but they're really fun to coach because we
are a young football team.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
When you look at us top to bottom.

Speaker 7 (27:29):
And a lot of key positions, a lot of young
players playing some of them for the first time, and
some of our best players haven't played to have the
resolve they've had, and some of the things haven't gone
our way and haven't gone our way in an explosive
way like the Iowa game or an Ohio State game.
To be able to respond to those things and go
win the next week is really tough to do with
young people. And our guys have really rallied and really

(27:50):
made it that twenty four hour rule and responded to
the next week, had great week of preparation and go
out and find ways to win, which is tough to
do for seventeen to twenty two year old to get
blown out the week before.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
With your red shirt freshman quarterback, there can be some
high high as some low lows.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
You're going to go through some growing pains.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
He's been pretty good, but he's now multiple times showing
some clutch geenes late in games, and that has to
make I would think a head coach feel pretty good
about the future.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
One hundred percent.

Speaker 7 (28:16):
I mean, I think everybody can look at the when
you when you when you're playing a freshman. I said
this before, when you make a decision to play a
young player at that position, you're you're embracing and taking
on all the good and the bad that are coming.
You know the bad's coming, you know the herd's coming,
you know the growing pains are coming. You can't say
that that they're coming and then not expect them to
be there.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
They're going to be there.

Speaker 7 (28:37):
And same as a fan base, we play a freshman quarterback,
just everybody knows there's going to be some growing pains
and those are going to be pains. They don't call
them growing butterfly kisses like they are pains.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
So this is this is something really really.

Speaker 7 (28:49):
Difficult, and uh, you've got to have a lot of
courage as a player to do it. You've got to
have a lot of belief in your players to do it.
As a coach, and you really got to believe in
that person. And you look back to the but we
played as young players and they've turned out to be
really good players. So Drake is a young man who's
the sky's a limit for him.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
You know, we want them to be our future, that's
for sure.

Speaker 7 (29:09):
And he's earned every right to sit there and say
this guy's got a break future and to continue to
invest in him, that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
All right, let's take another break. We'll come back well,
look ahead to Oregon. That's a Friday night game kicking
off at eight o'clock Minnesota time.

Speaker 6 (29:21):
We'll take air at six here.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
On the Gopher Sports Network and look forward to an
opportunity out in Eugene, organ As guards you mentioned we
have our bookstore sign up. We're giving away a twenty
five dollars gift card. We'll do that later in the show.
That's one of the benefits of coming in person. You
can visit the University of Minnesota Bookstore as well. It
has the area's largest selection of U of M and
Golden Golfer apparel, gifts and novelties for fans of all ages,

(29:43):
from the latest styles to timeless favorites. It is your
one stop shop, and every purchase directly supports the University
of Minnesota. Shop in store or online at bookstores dot
umn dot edu. For those in the restaurant to sign
up is over on that table. We'll draw the winner
in our final commercial break. This is break number two.
We'll come back and talk Minnesota and Oregon. This is

(30:03):
Go for Football Weekly with PJ. Fleck Fromlearfield. Hi Fine
is here in Roseville. Let's go for Football Weekly with
PJ Fleck, Mike Grimm and Justin Guard with you and
a full restaurant of Gopher fans and the head coach,
PJ Fleck. Hard to believe where the season's at. Just
three games remaining. Friday is organ and then it's at
Wrigley Field next weekend at Chicago against Northwestern, PJ Flex's hometown,

(30:26):
and then Wisconsin the final home game the Battle for
Paul Bunyans X, which means after this show, just two
shows left next week. Program note, we will be on campus,
so no show at the restaurant. You can listen Tuesday
at noon next week, but we will be at the
football offices for that show, and then the final show
will be back to normal here on November twenty fifth,

(30:47):
leading into the Battle for Paul Bunyan's AX. So that's
just a quick programming note. We're here and ready to
go today Minnesota and Oregon Friday night football. A top
ten opponent. Not too shabby of of a week.

Speaker 7 (31:00):
Huh No, not really at all. I mean they're really good.
You watch them on film. I mean they don't really
have a weakness. Everybody gives a lot of credit to
the type of talent they have on the roster rightfully so,
But I think Dan Lanning needs more credit because of
connecting that team. They have some of the best players
I've seen on film this year by far, but to
connect all of them getting to play all together as

(31:22):
all eleven and then rotating in the guys they rotate in,
I mean, that's impressive. So it's one thing to have
the talent, it's another thing to connect the talent and
build a team. And I think Dan Lanny's done a
tremendous job of that because they do not have a
weakness at any position, not one.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
I think a lot of people have the perception of them.
It's Oregon, it's Phil Knight, it's the flashy uniforms. They
wouldn't think of them as physical. They would be incorrect,
I would believe, just especially this team watching just what
you know, how they ran the ball against Iowa this
past weekend, like it seems like they are a very
physical group.

Speaker 7 (31:52):
Yeah, they just beat Iowa play in Iowa football, right,
And what they can do is they can beat you
a lot of different ways. So if they have to
throw for four hundred and fifty yards, they have the
build do you do that. If they got to run
Dante Moore for two hundred yards, they can do that.
If if they've got to beat you on special teams,
they can do that. If they've got to beat you
in a ground game, they can do that. That's a
really scary football team when you look at them, because

(32:12):
they can beat you in so many different ways. That's
what I mean, like, they don't have many flaws. So
you've got to play really sound, really good football. You've
got to create takeaways, you've got to take care of
the football. It's a heck of a place to play.
I haven't been there, that's what i'm personally, but I
heard it's a heck of a place to play. And
we're preparing for that noise the best we possibly can,
doing everything we can to simulate it.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
I know it's not like it's going to be on game.

Speaker 7 (32:34):
Day, but we do everything we possibly can to put
our players in a really hostile environment throughout the week.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
And it's supposed to be a.

Speaker 7 (32:39):
Little bit wet too, which I hear that part of
the country happens during every number but that's that's part
of it.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
So it's gonna be a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Those guys look miserable in Iowa City watching that game.

Speaker 6 (32:51):
Dan Landing down there, no hood, no hat, just he
just took it.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
He just some guys will put the hat on, or
that you've got the rain gear. Landing said, no, I'm
wearing my what you're like, I always do? Yeah, I
mean that's Dan. If you know, Dan's an exceptional human being.

Speaker 7 (33:04):
First of all, he is a wonder Like hanging out
with him is awesome.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
He's just a great dude.

Speaker 7 (33:09):
But you could tell that his team has taken on
his personality anytime, anywhere, any place, and that's the way
they play, and they thrive in any environment. They thrive
for each other. They've got a lot of talent, they're
really good, and you could just tell how connected they
really are.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
He's done a great job.

Speaker 6 (33:24):
And they seem too.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
And again it helps when you've got you know, all Americans.
It seems all over the field. But I mean it
doesn't hurt, It doesn't hurt. They played pretty aggressive, like
all of a sudden, I'll be watching it didn't happen
last weekend. But you're watching some fourth and fourth or
you're going thirty eight. They're gonna go for it okay,
good enough, and they just don't care that. You know,
all right, we'll put our defense in a tough spot.
But they seem pretty aggresive at times.

Speaker 7 (33:43):
Yeah, I think he trusts all three phases, offense, defense,
and special teams. And I think when you prepare your
team for situational football, you're preparing them for.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Sudden changes constantly.

Speaker 7 (33:51):
You're preparing them for being really non advantageous positions, being.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Backed up, being over there.

Speaker 7 (33:56):
If we're going to go for it on the thirty five,
so we're gonna prepare you all off season to do
those things so they're ready to go in that they
have the talent the skill to get it done. But
this is a really, really good football team. We're about
ready to face and guards.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
You mentioned the physicality, because I do think there was
a perception that maybe it was reality years ago that
Oregon had all the speed, they were more of a
finesse team, and they were winning a bunch of games
and were you know, they were playing for national titles.
But the Big Ten is a different league. It seems
like they've adapted. They've got some physical brutes up front
both sides of the football, and they're still fast.

Speaker 21 (34:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (34:25):
I don't know if it's just adapting to the Big Ten.
I think they just adapted to Dan Lanning's personality. You know,
Dan Lanning wants to win any way possible, right, very
competitive person I've played Past the Pigs with Dan Lanning
on multiple occasions.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
If you haven't played that game, you got to pick
it up at your local target or Walgreen.

Speaker 7 (34:42):
What is it called Past the Pigs. It's like a
dice game, but they're little pigs.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
He carries him in his backpack right like wherever he goes.
The story went. It's like a kid's version of Craps. Okay,
teaches kids really young. I play craft a terrific.

Speaker 6 (34:58):
But stocking stuff.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, it's a great stole.

Speaker 7 (35:02):
I promise I do not invest in in this, just
so you know, Andy, don't write then I'm writing. I
invest I'm endorsing this. This will be on the front
page of the paper. But Past the Pigs, you do
know I'm talking about see Oh yeah, I mean we're
getting fist pumps over here. That's what the game does
to you. Pick it up on your way home, and
it's simple. I'm GRAVI you're gonna love it. I promise
you you, you and Deb are going to play this

(35:23):
all the time. Heather and I played all the time.
Take it everywhere with us. But anyway, let's go back
to Dan Lanning. He's really really competitive and you can
see that when we play this game when our head
coaches get together, he's just uh, you can see them
taking on that DNA and that personality of of uh,
you know, beat you a lot of different ways and
put the hand in the ground and play some real football.

Speaker 6 (35:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
I remember you told us a few weeks ago you
went to I was at Keith Urban with with the
Nebraska coach in the UNLV coach, Nny Chesney. Kenny Chesney.
That's sorry, wrong country music singer. Got those mixed up.
But anyway, you were at the sphere uh. And was
it the Big ten meety days you told us you
were hanging with Danny Lanning. Was that in Hawaii or
someplace and a coach is meeting? That was on the
Nike trip Nike trip.

Speaker 7 (36:02):
Yeah, so, Phil Knight, Fortunately you have to be invited.
We got invited and then your grandfathered into this trip.
It's a great trip. It's a Nike trip. Phil Knight
takes the coaches to whether it's Hawaii or Cabo and
it's it's a great trip.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
It's a it's a Nike business trip. Uh and ugh,
but it is. It is awesome.

Speaker 7 (36:20):
A lot of like we were human beings on that
trip and there's about fifteen of us and the executives
from Nike are there, Phil and Penny are there.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
It really is a bonding weekend.

Speaker 7 (36:30):
It's unbelievable because you learn a lot about Nike what's
coming out the next week. But you also have time
to spend with a lot of the executives and the
higher ups and Nike because the business of college football,
business and Nike, there's a lot of parallels to it,
and you get a lot to spend a lot of time.
But there's a lot of like hanging out with each
other and whether it's golf or whether it's past the
pigs or whether it's hanging.

Speaker 6 (36:48):
Around there the pigs for the first time.

Speaker 7 (36:50):
That's where I learned the pigs for the first time.
So that was that trip.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (36:53):
The other with was coach Rule and Coach Mullen different
so that was Kenny Chessy. Yeah, we have all this time, guys,
I mean yeah, in the off season, we don't do anything.
We just got to hang out each other, go to
Hawaii and do the Nike trip and go to concert
great else.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (37:08):
Nice.

Speaker 5 (37:08):
So what have you heard about Austin Stadium and what
makes it unique or different?

Speaker 7 (37:12):
I just heard it's really loud, Like it's really loud,
and the way it's designed and their fans and how
passionate they are for Oregon football, and the way that
the stadium's designed with.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
That kind of overhang to trap the.

Speaker 7 (37:23):
Noise kind of how Washington's built a little bit yep uh,
which kind of deflects the noise right back onto the field.
So that's kind of what I've heard about it, and
you know, we look forward to having an opportunity to
go play.

Speaker 6 (37:34):
There as the experience didn't go well in terms of
the score.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
But you're at Ohio State, you're at Kennick, so you've
been able to at least deal with the noise, whether
it's through silent counselor what have you. Can that help now,
you know, maybe your third time into an environment that
like top five defense was all three, right, their top
ten defenses all three.

Speaker 7 (37:52):
But I think it has to do with the three
teams being top five defense is let alone the cloud
to crowd nos because I think we were pretty good
and preciate PEDALTYMI and communication pre snap before and you know,
we're gonna have to be really good in that this
game as well. Very similar pre snap routine, but we've
changed it up a little bit so people can't get
beats on us. But we got to be really good
before the snap and we're just gonna have to execute

(38:13):
at a high level. But it helps you when you're
in those environments, especially if you have some younger players
playing in some key positions and all of that. Those
are called growing pains. Those pains usually leave a scar,
and I want that scar to stay where this is
no scar removal. You keep those scars and you learn
from your past to create your future. So hopefully we'll
definitely have a better showing than we did in the
last few all right.
