North Texas 23 Minnesota 14 at half

I can confirm it was an absolutely horrific half. Ben Johnson still doesn't run an actual offense.

Mean Green have been pretty good defensively the last handful of seasons but 14 is pretty brutal at home

Depends on the Ben Johnson.

[PGsHeroes32]

Depends on the Ben Johnson.

That's a very good point. Gophers should make an offer to that guy in Detroit, maybe their NIL dollars can match an NFL team

How is this guy still in the league? He was at Marquette when my son was born and he just graduated middle school.

His ESPN picture looks likes he's been in college so long he's turned into a coach.

2020-21 - MU (COVID year)
21-22 - UNC
22-23 - Minnesota 
23-24 - Minnesota
24-25 - Minnesota

This is the last class of COVID extended eligibility. He's not like Seth Townes (8th  year player last year at Howard) or the Miami TE currently in his ninth year of eligibility...

So I'm guessing the prediction of him leaving early for the NBA are no longer valid?

Dakota Wesleyan at South Dakota, 6PM, Summit

I guess one Wesleyan is enough for both Dakotas.

They should put an extension in Mequon

There will probably be a handful next year as well. For instance, had Garcia instead done...

21-22 - UNC
22-23 - Redshirt at Minnesota
23-24 - Minnesota
24-25 - Minnesota

He would be eligible to play a fifth year in 2025-26. I doubt there are many, but I'm sure it's a non-zero number of players that will be granted another year based on playing in 2020-21 and later taking a redshirt or having a post-2021 injury that reduced them to an acceptable amount for the NCAA to grant an additional year.

Good point. I was just focusing on guys like Garcia who played straight through (the vast majority). There will be a few with medical hardships or voluntary redshirts. It makes sense for kids to take advantage of the extra years and move closer to or complete a grad degree.
