Practices soon underway for Gophers football

Practices will soon be underway for Minnesota Gophers football.

The second year for the program has to be better than the first, and that’s largely because there’s not much further down for the program to fall. Under coach Tim Brewster last year, the Gophs went 1-11, bottoming out so badly, even his own son decided to transfer out of the program.

(Not really… his son had other reasons to leave.)

But this season really ought to be better. Adam Weber has some experience at QB now, and if he falters, we have some great QBs recruited behind him who are more than anxious to take over the reigns.

Most importantly, this year’s squad as a full defense; last year, about half his starters never even made it to the first game due to being idiots off the field. When you don’t have a great defense, it doesn’t matter how many succesfful drives your QB leads your team on. You have to stop the other team because even if your score 70 points, you lose if your opponent scores 71.

That lesson learned and that problem corrected, it’ll be intriguing to see what coach Brewster can do this season with a year under his belt, a full defense, and more of the squad he’s coaching consisting of kids he recruited himself, and that’s worth all the Cat5e patch cables you can count.
