Speaker 4 (00:58):
Hey, we're off and running 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 big win.

(01:19):
We talked last week with Drake, Lindsay and Cooy Parrotts
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.

Speaker 6 (01:27):
But I'm sure you would listen back to it multiple times. Yeah, yeah,
multiple times. It was tremendous, great work. Probably the best
show of the season. It might be, this might be.
We do have the head coach with us. We gave
him the week off last week from 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 4 (01:48):
It was great?

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

Speaker 8 (01:54):
Right?

Speaker 7 (01:55):
First of all, Coy's like, you know, I don't want
to do this, Yeah, I don't like talk talking to people,
and he was, you're gonna do it, Yeah, You're gonna
definitely do it.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
It's good for you. So we got it pretty spicy.
When we started talking about their golf competitions, I'm sure
he perked right up. He did, and he all of them.
He called Drake that he choked. He choked in some
sort of a youth event of some sort Drake joke,
that's what he said.

Speaker 9 (02:16):
I don't think Drake's ever beat Coy though, or Coy's.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Ever beat Brake. No, yeah, I think it's like forty eight.
So we had to like find yes exactly right. But
it was fun to see the that's a little snarkyness.

Speaker 7 (02:28):
Of course competition. I got a chest to golf with
both of them in my foursome. Yeah, we did a
uh in the in the offseason. I thought was really cool.
We're not playing that much everybody just everybody knows, but
we did kind of we matched a 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.

(02:49):
And of course you got to see the groups and
Garrett got to make the groups. But my group of
course we won, but it was because of Drake. Because
of Drake Lindsay.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (02:59):
And then we had with us so coach Smith, so
we were able to we were able to win. So uh,
had the had the head golf coach, did.

Speaker 6 (03:05):
You really say we won in this scenario? Yeah, yeah,
Justin Smith and he had Drake Lindsay. Yeah, speaking of clutch,
Justin Smith, you know he'll need like hit the.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
Listen, it was a random draw. Who was out everybody's
team random draw. I just happened to be Smith and
and Drake and Coy and.

Speaker 9 (03:24):
Just happened to win. So it just uh, it was great.

Speaker 7 (03:26):
I went last. I never had to hit a shot. Yeah,
it was It was perfect. So anyway, uh, bye week
by week I think that was a question, he said.

Speaker 9 (03:33):
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.

Speaker 9 (03:51):
I was with our team.

Speaker 7 (03:52):
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 teams as
you keep going forward.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (03:59):
And then and this bye week, I went out in
our coaching stadium with our players a little bit more,
so I thought that.

Speaker 9 (04:04):
Was really good. We wanted to get healthy for the
most part.

Speaker 7 (04:07):
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 a really good offense. So I thought
we really took advantage of the bye week. A lot
of recruits, a lot of commits this week, which was
really good for us, which is a byproduct of our recruiting.

(04:28):
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 4 (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 9 (04:50):
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're talking about
the mental 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 young players

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

Speaker 6 (05:17):
So who's in charge when you're gone, Like, who's running
the practice?

Speaker 4 (05:21):
How does that work? Well?

Speaker 7 (05:21):
Dan Nickel runs the practice, our head strength coach, which
you all know, Dan nicchol. So it was kind of
interesting because Mason Carrier at the end of practice, this
is what I'm told from Garrett at the end of 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.

(05:44):
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. So coach Nickel steps in. 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. He wasn't wearing
a werewolf mask?

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Was he?

Speaker 9 (06:05):
Not this week?

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Not this week?

Speaker 9 (06:07):
How's a few weeks ago? Yeah, that didn't work.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
It was it was that part of the Halloween thing.

Speaker 9 (06:12):
It was part of the Halloween. Yeah, yeah, it was.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
It was.

Speaker 7 (06:14):
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.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
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 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 how generally have you liked recruiting

(06:44):
at this point and how important was this past week.

Speaker 9 (06:46):
Yeah, I think this is.

Speaker 7 (06:47):
What's shaping up to be our best class, if not
one of the best classes we've ever had. I'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, bowl game prep,

(07:09):
you get into all that stuff that we've come to expect,
which we want to be able to do that. But
also you 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 9 (07:24):
To be out of that.

Speaker 7 (07:25):
That was really really difficult because you just never knew
who is 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 6 (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.
I think self scout is a lot of different things.
But we broke it down more of our process, process,
the way we practice, how we practice. Looking at our
processes on offense, defense, and special teams. We've got to
do the simple things way better. 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

(08:17):
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 going to 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.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
There's a lot to.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
Learn, so we've got to continue to do the simplest
things better. Sometimes when you have a really young player,
they'll abandon their technique first because it seems a little odd,
it seems a little 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

(08:51):
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. Are we
really getting that or are we just doing it? Are
we banding our technique. Are we really fundamentally sound And
at times we said we're not.

Speaker 9 (09:08):
We're disciplined, we're just at times.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
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
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

(09:30):
you have to get better at right now.

Speaker 4 (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 9 (09:44):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean whatever.

Speaker 7 (09:46):
Our coaches got off, you know, right when we got
done with the game, were the.

Speaker 9 (09:52):
Michigan State win. It was a great win.

Speaker 7 (09:54):
It was a great comeback whin ahead, than behind, and ahead,
then tied behind, and then we came back and win
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 pass Saturday. But other than that, I mean with
recruiting and football and getting better and there's a lot

(10:15):
to get better at.

Speaker 9 (10:16):
So our coaches were in the office.

Speaker 7 (10:17):
And players are around, and I thought everybody handled it
really well.

Speaker 4 (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 different last week coming off of a win going
into a bye week? 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?
Sunday it's over and we move into it.

Speaker 7 (10:40):
Well, it's over at 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 that's a lot easier to do.
When you have a bye week, it just lingers longer, right,
And we done it really good job of finding a

(11:01):
way to score one more point thing the opponent going
into the bye week this past time, and.

Speaker 9 (11:05):
That makes it a lot better.

Speaker 7 (11:08):
You know, I'm not saying that, you know, it's just
one's just so much easier than the other because you're
still working, sure, you're still moving.

Speaker 9 (11:15):
On and you're going. It's just the vibe is way
better once you win.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Obviously.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah, all right, let's take our first break. We'll come back.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Look continues to.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Wine touchdown touchdown.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Minnesota and the extra point unit is.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
Coming on to tie the game. Now an I formation
from the three pearman the fullback in motion Bibber.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
There is play action rolling left.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
Lindsay, he's the bringing five sap touch down.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
So there, let's say the boot blang there it is
the AVR Remix. We want to thank AVR for their support,
those for the game tying or the game tying touchdown,
of the game winning touchdown late regulation and in overtime.
Lindsay scores both. We have Drake about that last week,

(18:02):
and I wanted to ask you coach about it too,
because to me, I'm fascinated by the whole thing. Drake
mentioned that as he's breaking the huddle, they call I
think it was a thirty four blast? Was I think
what he said? And then Greg Harboy, your offensive coordinator, said,
but keep it? Did you hear that? And were you nervous?

Speaker 9 (18:21):
I don't know about nervous.

Speaker 7 (18:23):
My eyes kind of went okay, like 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.

Speaker 9 (18:39):
His playfake was average?

Speaker 4 (18:40):
He did. He said that plays have been better. He
would have had a much easier time probably scoring the touchdown.

Speaker 9 (18:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (18:50):
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 4 (19:00):
Trying to get you some spread options option, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (19:04):
To get him out, and a quarterback draws, you know, wishbone.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
Maybe maybe you never know, you never know. 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 7 (19:21):
I mean, there's there's certain rules to that, just like
I talk about like going for two until the fourth quurt,
I don't go for two until the fourth quarter, right,
got to chase points early.

Speaker 9 (19:28):
That's a philosophy, whether the book says that or not.

Speaker 7 (19:30):
Like, that's a philosophy I have of the way I
was raised in the way that I believe as.

Speaker 9 (19:35):
A head football coach, now.

Speaker 7 (19:36):
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. When you're away, go for
the win. Now, people are always going to hold me
to that, and then we're going to get to that situation.
Like you said, whether it works or not. General that's
a general rule that I was taught and that goes
all the way back, you know, to to Jim Dressel days.

(19:57):
I mean, that's that's what I was taught and watched
it unfold, and for the most part it's been it's
been really good because again, you got your home field advantage.

Speaker 9 (20:04):
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 zone.

Speaker 9 (20:11):
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 4 (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 it. But I think if I had
to bet, I would say that the ball was over
when his foot hit. I think the course it was,
the uphold was right.

Speaker 9 (20:37):
But they reviewed it.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yes, if they however, let's just for the fun of
the discussion, say well, why do we want to do that,
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 9 (20:55):
The extra point. But if it was an inch, you
probably would. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:59):
The persuasion from the guys that are on your team, Uh,
I think that would have been a no brainer.

Speaker 9 (21:04):
We would have went for it.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
Yeah, And you're right, at most it could have been
six inches, right, so you just push that line.

Speaker 9 (21:10):
Yeah, but I mean truly it was an inch.

Speaker 7 (21:12):
Yeah, Like if you were going to spot that ball,
you got to spot that ball with like.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
A millimeter, Yeah, exactly. But they didn't have to worry
about it because he was clearly clearly the goal.

Speaker 9 (21:22):
Clearly. You saw the same jumbo trump replay that I saw.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
I was clearly and it was a touchdown. And and
so thirty four blasts 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. It did happen. Let's
not be nice to the other guys that made it happen,
so true, very true.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
No, I just like insight so then but then his
body like, how did you actually?

Speaker 7 (21:49):
I even told him afterwards, how did you actually like
step out of bounce in that?

Speaker 9 (21:53):
Like yeah, in the.

Speaker 7 (21:54):
Way that he stepped out of bounds, 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 biloon and
the ball kind of reached but not.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
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 Ramon's touchdown earlier this year.
I forget which game that was, but he feels fourth
down he should have he should have reached, but fields
are two point play he should have reached, but not
on third down the next play, Yeah, so he don't
get to touch back then the other on purpose he

(22:26):
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 didn't score?

Speaker 9 (22:37):
I see how it goes.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
You're you're you're turning into a Minnesotan already. Yeah, look
at it. Nine years later.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
Do we have the bucket for the bookstore gift card?

Speaker 4 (22:47):
We do?

Speaker 6 (22:48):
We do. 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.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
I think in the fourth segment.

Speaker 6 (22:57):
Youah, sure you have nine years ago, just a bit,
just go through some more hypotheticals.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
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. And the positive no question,
that didn't go really well. 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 mass
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.

Speaker 6 (23:20):
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 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 a score, And that's what you want
from your from your freshman quarterback, and whether you can
go execute that or not, it's going to be, you know,
what determines the game. And obviously we were able to
do that and then 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 9 (24:02):
And it's okay to do that.

Speaker 7 (24:03):
If it's different 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 some chunks in there.
We were very content with allowing our guys hit checkdowns.
Cam Davis had a really good you know, and he
had three catches that on that drive. If I had
a really good run, we were able to Jamison Gears
had two catches. That was really big for us. They

(24:24):
got a PI 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 up
tempo way where I didn't feel like we were in
truly two minute and our guys handled that really well.

Speaker 4 (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 7 (24:41):
Yeah, I think perceptionally everybody's like, we got to hurry
up and score. Well, a minute forty seconds in football
might as well be like twenty five minutes.

Speaker 9 (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 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 4 (25:09):
Yeah. 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? But I think that's where.

Speaker 7 (25:20):
People can get really confused if we've had that happen
in our crowd. 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

(25:40):
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 4 (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 went right
down the field in two plays in like eleven seconds
and were able to win the football game and head
in the championship game, so or in the Super Bowl.
So you're just never comfortable 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 give us

(26:09):
the best chance to.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
Win before that.

Speaker 6 (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 Rod the Boat's all about, the
ability to respond to certain circumstances. Not everything's going to
go right. They made a few adjustments, 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

(26:56):
wasn't as good. We'd drop a ball or you know,
we'd run around a little a little deeper than it
was supposed to be. So it was the fun, That's
what I meant about the just cleaning.

Speaker 9 (27:04):
Up those things.

Speaker 7 (27:05):
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.

Speaker 9 (27:11):
It's the small, tiny little things.

Speaker 7 (27:12):
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 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.
When you look at us top to bottom, and a
lot of key positions, a lot of young players playing

(27:33):
some of them for the first time, and some of
our best players haven't played to have to 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 made it
that twenty four hour rule and responded to the next week,
had great week of preparation and go out and find

(27:55):
ways to win, which is tough to do for seventeen
to twenty two year olds to get blown out the
week before.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
And you mentioned and with your red shirt freshman quarterback,
there can be some high high, some low lows. You're
going to go through some growing pains. He's been pretty good,
but he's now multiple times showing some clutch genes laid
in games, and that has to make I would think
a head coach feel pretty good about the future.

Speaker 9 (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.

Speaker 9 (28:19):
I said this before.

Speaker 7 (28:20):
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.

Speaker 9 (28:32):
You can't say that that they're coming and then not
expect them to be there. They're going to be there.
And same as a fan base.

Speaker 7 (28:38):
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. So this is this is something really
really 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

(28:59):
people we played as young players and they've turned out
to be really good players. So Drake is a young
man who the sky's a limit for him. You know,
we want them to be our future, that's for sure.
And he's earned every right to sit there and say
this guy's got a bright future and to continue to
invest in him, that's for sure.

Speaker 4 (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. We'll take air at
six here on the Gopher Sports Network and look forward
to an opportunity out in Eugene, Oregon. As guards he 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.

(29:37):
It has the area's largest selection of U of M
and Golden Golfer apparel. Gives some novelties for fans of
all ages, 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 break number two,

(30:00):
we'll come back and talk Minnesota and Oregon. This is
Go for Football Weekly with PJ. Fleck from Learfield. Hi.
Finally 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

(30:22):
weekend at Chicago against Northwestern, PJ Flex's hometown, and then
Wisconsin the final home game, the Battle for Paul Bunyan's Ax,
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,

(30:43):
and then the final show will be back to normal
here on November twenty fifth, 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 a of a week.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Huh No, not.

Speaker 9 (31:01):
Really at all. I mean they're really good.

Speaker 7 (31:03):
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
all eleven and then rotating in the guys they rotate in,

(31:24):
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 Lanney's done a
tremendous job of that because they do not have a
weakness at any position, not one.

Speaker 6 (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.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
They wouldn't think of them as physical.

Speaker 6 (31:43):
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 (31:51):
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
ability to do that. If they got to run Dwan
temore for two hundred yards.

Speaker 9 (32:02):
They can do that.

Speaker 7 (32:03):
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
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.

Speaker 9 (32:22):
It's a heck of a place to play.

Speaker 7 (32:23):
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 9 (32:32):
I know it's not like it's going to be on
game day, but we do.

Speaker 7 (32:35):
Everything we possibly can to put our players in a
really hostile environment throughout the week. And it's supposed to
be a little bit wet too, which I hear at
that part of the country it happens during every now,
but that's that's part of it.

Speaker 9 (32:46):
So it's gonna be a lot of fun.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
Those guys look miserable in Iowa City watching that game,
Dan Landing down there, no hood, no hat.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
Just he just took it. He just took some guys
will put the hat on, or that you've got the
rain gear. Landing said, no, I'm wearing my sweat sure,
like I always do.

Speaker 7 (33:01):
Yeah, I mean that's Dan. If you know, Dan's an
exceptional human being. First of all, he is a wonder
Like hanging out with him is awesome. He's just a
great dude. But you could tell that his team is
taking on his personality anytime, anywhere, any place, and that's
the way they play, and they.

Speaker 9 (33:15):
Thrive in any environment. They thrive for each other.

Speaker 7 (33:18):
They got a lot of talent, they're really good, and
you could just tell how connected they really are. He's
done a great job.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
And they seem too. 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
play 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 we're going thirty eight. They're gonna
go for it. Okay, good enough, and they just don't
care that they you know, all right, we'll put our
defense in a tough spot, but they seem pretty aggressive
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 sudden changes constantly.
You're preparing them for being really non advantageous positions, being
backed up, being over there if we're going to go
for it on the thirty five.

Speaker 9 (33:57):
So we're gonna.

Speaker 7 (33:58):
Prepare you all off season 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 4 (34:07):
You mentioned the physicality because I do think there was
a perception, and 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 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. 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, He's
very competitive person I've played Past the Pigs with Dan
Lanning on multiple occasions. If you haven't played that game,
you got to pick it up at your local target
or Walgreen.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
What is it called Past the Pigs.

Speaker 9 (34:44):
It's like a dice game, but they're little pigs.

Speaker 6 (34:48):
He carries them in his backpack right like wherever he goes.
The story went.

Speaker 7 (34:52):
It's like a kid's version of craps. Okay, teaches kids
really young.

Speaker 6 (34:56):
I play crowded gamble, good but terrific, but stocking stuffer.

Speaker 9 (35:00):
It's a great style.

Speaker 7 (35:01):
I promise I do not invest in in this, just
so you know, Andy, do 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 know
what I'm talking about, see ye oh yeah, I mean
we're going to fist pumps over here. That's what the
game does to you. Pick it up on your way home.
It's simple.

Speaker 9 (35:18):
I'm GRAVI You're gonna love it.

Speaker 7 (35:20):
I promise you you you and Deb are going to
play this all the time. Heather and I played all
time ticket 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 4 (35:41):
Yeah. I remember you told us a few weeks ago
you went to I was at Keith Urban with with
the Nebraska coach and the UNLV coach, Nny Chesney. Kenny Chesney.
That's sorry, good 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. Wom is that in Hawaii
or someplace?

Speaker 9 (35:59):
And the coaches that was on the Nike trip Nike trip. Yeah,
so Phil Knight, fortunately you have to be invited.

Speaker 7 (36:04):
We got invited and then your grandfathered into this trip.
It's a great trip. It's a Nike trip. Phil Knight
takes coaches to whether it's Hawaii or Cabo and it's
it's a great trip.

Speaker 9 (36:13):
It's a it's a Nike business.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Trip, uh and.

Speaker 9 (36:18):
Rough, 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 9 (36:28):
It really is a bonding weekend.

Speaker 7 (36:29):
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.

Speaker 9 (36:36):
Ups and Nike.

Speaker 7 (36:37):
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 4 (36:48):
Around there can 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 1 (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 take out I mean, yeah, in the off season,
we don't do anything.

Speaker 9 (37:02):
We just got to hang out each other, go to
Hawaii and do the Nike You trip and.

Speaker 4 (37:05):
Go to concerts, gatwere else.

Speaker 9 (37:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
Nice.

Speaker 6 (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 that kind of overhang to trap
the 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

(37:33):
an opportunity to go play there.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
As the experience didn't go well in terms of the score.
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 defenses 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 preci PEDALTYMI and communication and 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.

Speaker 9 (38:20):
Those are called growing pains.

Speaker 7 (38:21):
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, let's.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Take another break, our final break, will come back and
wrap the show up. Don't go away. We take air
at six o'clock Friday night and it will be an
eight o'clock kickoff. Remember the Wisconsin game. The final home
game comes up the last week in November. Don't miss
out on the Gopher Garden. It's the pregame fan fest.
