H&H Podcast: The REAL Problem With the Vikings Offense (It’s not just McCarthy)
The H&H Podcast is back with another jam-packed episode breaking down a brutal weekend for Minnesota football. Starting in the NFL, J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings offense struggled once again. Henry Lake argues that McCarthy isn’t showing enough growth on tape early in his career, while Ahmad Hicks pushes back, pointing out the offensive line issues and questionable play-calling that aren’t helping the rookie quarterback. The two dive into whether the Vikings can still salvage their season — or if the writing is already on the wall. Shifting to college football, the Gophers’ road woes continued with a fifth straight loss away from home, this time to Northwestern. Once projected as an 8–9 win team, Minnesota now needs to avoid a collapse against Wisconsin just to get above six wins. Lake and Hicks debate whether P.J. Fleck is truly elevating the program or if the Gophers are falling behind as the rest of the Big Ten raises its standard. On the hardwood, Anthony Edwards erupted for 43 points against the Kings—but in another loss to a sub-.500 opponent. Lake believes the Wolves are playing down to their competition, while Hicks sees it as a temporary rough patch as they continue to shape their identity. Tune in for a full breakdown across the Vikings, Gophers, and Timberwolves in this week’s episode of H&H.
