quiet night for our offensive guys, though Pegan was important. defensively, however, there were plenty of impact players, and the less-caste team won every matchup (from what i could tell).

Nestor isn’t playing tonight for Minnesota, out with an injury. first time i’ve seen Guthrie for Nebraska, but he looks like a player.

perhaps i’ve missed his name, but a player to keep an eye out for is Utah State’s Braden Pegan. i’ve not seen him play, but he’s got good size at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, and he leads the Aggies in every receiving category: 27 catches, 453 yards, 16.8 yards per catch average, 4 touchdowns, long...

ESPN just released their mid season top-25 players in college football. while every player they list is certainly gifted, again they just make these blanket assertions that insist these players are the best, despite in many cases offering little-to-no evidence to support that claim. there are...

here’s a lengthy profile on the impactful emergence of Iowa sophomore defensive back, Zach Lutmer: https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/football/2025/10/17/iowa-football-zach-lutmer-cooper-dejean-hawkeyes/86687380007/ it confirms what i asserted during the game (though it...

here’s a lengthy profile piece on one of the top cover men in all of the FBS, Georgia Southern’s Chance Gamble: https://gseagles.com/news/2025/10/8/football-the-extra-down-family-foundation-drives-chance-gambles-journey-to-statesboro.aspx it’s interesting to note that, according to the article...

similarly, here’s a short profile piece on Utah’s Jackson Bennee: https://247sports.com/college/utah/article/the-holy-war-is-big-for-jackson-bennee-257062178/ the pertinent bit: the versatile Bennee reminds me a lot of former Ute phenom, Eric Weddle, so one wonders how an athlete as obviously...

here’s a short profile piece on John Nestor, focusing on his impact for the Golden Gophers as a transfer: https://www.twincities.com/2025/10/16/minnesota-gophers-football-success-failures-in-transfer-portal/ the key bits: it’s been talked about at length on these forums, but again i’ll...

the Sporting News released their mid-season all-American team today, but several of the selections are confusing. the list seems arbitrary, as they offer no reason for each selection. while all the players listed are certainly talented, few are statistically superior than other players who are...

Iowa returner (and sometimes wide receiver) Kaden Wetjen has been named a mid-season all-American by the Sporting News. from the article: it is still my conviction that he should be playing tailback rather than wideout. even if he didn’t play every down, he’d be an absolute beast as a...

what’s his separation rate gonna be after that one?!? seriously, i’d like to know the true reason he isn’t featured more. it certainly appears (from my limited perspective) that Daniel’s just doesn’t want to throw Luke the ball.

thanks for the info. not a good stat, though.

Nestor’s mate in the secondary, Koi Perich, also made a highlight play with this pick-six. Perish, just a sophomore, entered the season with lots of hype but has struggled to live up to the lofty expectations. hopefully, this is the trigger that will project him back into consistently showing...

found this update on Minnesota cornerback John Nestor’s performance. the numbers came before the Purdue contest, in which he added 6 solo tackles (7 total), another interception, and another pass break up. dude is applying the White Out!

did TeSlaa even play last night for Detroit?

Vander Zee was reportedly uncoverable in fall practice before the injury. having him back should bring a BIG boost to the Hawkeye passing attack. hopefully, Brevin Doll will emerge at some point.

Lutmer is playing slot corner now when Iowa goes to the nickel. he’s playing very well.

and they’ve given the freshman a lot more carries that’s the reportedly fastest back on the team/upperclassman. if not for the Caste System, none of this would make sense.

Lutmer recovered another fumble, and this one counts! for some reason, he wasn’t credited with his pass deflection in the box score yet, however. he hasn’t been targeted in the passing game, a loud tribute to the job he’s done on the outside.
