Mafe  is really quick and has a nose for the QB  if i had to put the over under I would say 8  it really depends on how well the DB can help in giving time for the rushers.  also it will be interesting to see how much blitzing they do with a younger LB core
and rethinking this number I guess if we had a full season.  with Non conference games.  with a lesser full season say starting in October I would say more like O/U 5

This exercise is useful if we pretend everything is normal, full schedule, full rosters, etc.

Well if we have to pretend everything is normal, then don't we just have to pretend Minnesota isn't very good?

That reminds me - I really want to study their offense from last year.  They threw a lot, but ran more than they threw, and an inordinate number of receptions were by the top 2 WRs.  Like an absurd percentage, compared to other teams.  I just wonder how they were freed up so well.  


But the pretending bit is to possibly provide 2020 teams for Whoa Nellie college football game.  I'd really like to do it because I think customers would especially appreciate it.

I watch pulling guards like porn, but Minnesota's down field passing game was sexy as hell last year.  Their offensive game plan against Penn State was rewatchable.  I don't blame Franklin for hiring their OC away after seeing that.  So few teams run good downfield passing games anymore, but if you liked Spurriers offense, you'd love Minnesota.

Yeah, I made that connection with Spurrier, too.  His Fun 'n Gun really evolved in the 90s from a ton of dump-downs to the RB (Errict Rhett) between the LBs and a lot of TE catches towards having 2 big-time WRs and even the slot guy gaining 700-800 yds.  

Spurrier's offense actually makes me frustrated at video game football.  Corner routes were open for days for the Gators and the computer offense, but EVERY time I want to do it - covered like a blanket by the computer.  Ugh.

:D When execution,fundamentals and talent come together it is a beatiful thing.One of the reasons I still watch the Pennant Chases/World Series,time and again it has demonstrated raw talent alone is squat.Plus - ya know - defense
