I've been avoiding the Twins the last couple of days. They've been outscored 20-1 in that time. I'm going to keep on avoiding them for a while longer.
I'm planning on watching the Vikings today, at least for part of the game. Cleveland just lost their big running threat, Trent Richardson, in a trade, and they have a new starting QB who has only thrown 34 passes in his whole NFL career. Since the Vikes are at home, it means they could actually win this game. I'm not convinced, at this point, that they can beat anybody, but IF they are going to win a game this season, this seems like their best opportunity. If they LOSE this game, they will firmly establish themselves as one of the absolute worst teams the league has to offer.
I caught much of the Gophers second half yesterday. Mitch Leidner, their redshirt freshman QB had FOUR rushing TDs. No Gopher QB has done that before. The Gophers head into Big Ten play against Iowa next week undefeated at 4-0. Of course, they did the same thing LAST season before the conference games started and still had a miserable year.
What I like about this Jerry Kill coached team is that they are back to being a RUSHING team. They had well over 300 yards on the ground yesterday. That kind of ball control may actually help them win some games in the conference this year.
