I just watched the ~12 min summary of the kal-Minn game (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6HzbzVoBxo).
kal's QB has arm strength and delivery speed that helps him make good decisions with less reliance on anticipation. But he still makes freshman mistakes right now. He thinks he's faster than he is, and he took a few sacks trying to roll out of the pocket.
kal's defense is fast. They blew up a couple of Minn trick plays, so their read/react times are good. Misdirection plays seem to work though. Both teams scored TDs on goal line heavy formations that ended up being play action tosses (kal RB to the right flat, Minn TE released a double team block and leaked into the end zone on a fade).
kal's OL can be had. When kal was trying to run out the clock at the end, Minnesota was able to get through the OL for TFLs. Of course, the Gophers were down by 10+ pts iirc, so all for naught. Speed, swim moves, etc got them through.
kal's run defense might not be very good. They gave up 130 yds to Minnesota even while, as reported, Minnesota was missing their top two running backs.
