I don't have an answer for you other than we need to start with a clean slate going into the rest of this season and into the new stadium next year or

WE WILL suffer more loss in the future.

Amen. ;)

Riley Dodge should not be playing QB for this team, not even in emergency situations.

Nepotism. He will ride his son right to his pink slip.

How does Dodge or Canales justify only giving Dunbar 12 touches at running and 5 catching. Just pathetic, 17 touches for someone that could win the game for the team.

While Riley passes 17 times and runs 8 times. Who is truly calling the plays? Canales or Dodge?

Why are we not using blocking Backs and the TE's? Are they only for show at practice?

To me it looked like we back to TD's playc alling because Riley was in the game. Since he started out at WR he probably doesn't know the whole Chico offense as a QB. Just my thought

Canales may be calling some plays, but Dodge is still very much in charge of this offense - it is pretty obvious by the fact that his son ran in the second half as much if not more than Dunbar.

I want to make sure I understand this thread. Dodge really does not want to win. He really does not care if his son receives another injury after permanently damaging his arm and watching his first and second team QB's go down with season ending injuries. It is his fault or the S & C coach's fault for all of the injuries.

This offense has looked shockingly similar to Dodge's... if I didn't know better, I'd assume nothing has changed. Shotgun draws in short yardage? A continual ignoring of Dunbar? Same stuff, different year. The worst run in the modern era of NT football continues.

So he wasn't involved in the hiring of the S & C coach or practice patterns...

Coach Canales calls the plays folks.

Dunbar was not being ignored, Riley was running the zone ready (pretty much all he can do with his arm) and he kept reading that he should run instead of handing off to Dunbar. Maybe he is reading incorrectly, but again I ask, why on earth would Chico stick around if Dodge is sabotaging his playcalling?

Maybe ignored isn't the right use of wording, I don't know. What I do know is the preseason Doak Walker lister is not getting the ball. Everyone wants to know then, why is it that we have a system in which if you go by a certain read then it leads to the stud of the offense only carrying the ball 12 times? Seems if I'm a D coordinator I would simply give that read to you all day? Maybe with our second string QB coming in that is exactly what Army did. Make the backup whose starting his first game beat you? If so, we played right into their hands.

Is he going to leave in the middle of the season?

I'll bet you're right.

If that's the case, then the heat really needs to be turned up on Riley himself. He's supposed to be a playmaking difference-maker...a guy you want with the ball. He definitely was not that guy yesterday.

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.
