Where would he go? Our staff understands his strengths and weaknesses. Not sure if another major program would promise him much
His problem is his running style. Too upright and takes a lot of low hits at bad angles. Something we really have to work on so we can rotate backs as needed

I think we’re forgetting about how good Gabe Jacas was his first year. Granted he had a sophomore slump. I know there’s talk of him moving inside, but wherever he lines up, he has the potential to wreak havoc if he regains form.
You would think Coleman returning makes Jacas moving inside even more likely.

You can never predict these things - that season a team has a breakout year and just completely exceeds expectations. Four years in to the Bielema era - could this be that year?

Someone put together a graph of B1G attendance and, since we've had discussions on here recently about attendance, thought it was worth sharing:

I'd be interested to see that chart based on percent of capacity, that would adjust for smaller stadiums a bit. For example: Autzen seats 54,000, and had 110 consecutive sellouts over 17 seasons prior to 2016. Recently they've been running in excess of capacity, they averaged 103% of capacity in 2023. I'd rather attend a game in a stadium with a capacity crowd rather than one with 10-20% empty seats.

Yes, rumors are we'll be adding 12,000 seats to Autzen in the near future.
