Gophers football: P.J. Fleck labels 2023 season a ‘readjustment year’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:54:52 GMT

From the head coach that brought you “Year Zero,” P.J. Fleck has dropped a new “R” word to describe the 2023 season.Reloading? No way.Rebuilding? Nope.“I kind of named it the readjustment year,” Fleck said after Saturday’s 28-14 loss to Wisconsin. “There are a lot of things to adjust moving forward. A lot of things to evaluate, but there are a lot of things outside our control.”Following two nine-win campaigns in 2021-22, Fleck’s seventh season at Minnesota finished with four straight losses and a 5-7 record. When the Gophers previously went 5-7 in 2017, Fleck’s first year at the U, he often referred to it as “Year Zero.”While the Gophers failed to reach six wins and bowl eligibility this season, they still will go to a bowl game.The Gophers qualified based on a shortage of six-win teams, and the U posting the highest Academic Progress Rate (APR) of all remaining five-win programs. They will learn their bowl destination next Sunday.Fleck often breaks down ass...

He’s more explosive than fellow running back Alexander Mattison, and thus, provides a different look when he has the ball in his hands. If the Vikings are serious about establishing the run, Chandler should be the guy in charge of doing that.— Maybe the most important thing for the Vikings is making sure Bears quarterback Justin Fields doesn’t get into a rhythm. He has the ability to make plays with his legs if he escapes the pocket, so it’s on defensive coordinator Brian Flores to put his players in a position to limit that. If the Vikings can make Fields uncomfortable throughout the game, he has been known to turn the ball over at a h...
