And Calvin Swenson was also often in the right place to make plays. Jah Joyner with two sacks for the maroon team, Terell Smith looked very good especially in the 2nd half and Tyler Nubin led this side with 7 tackles and 1 TFL. This team has a few position groups that are incredibly deep. Defensive tackle, linebacker and offensive line are very deep with several guys capable of starting and making solid contributions.
Along the OL it was good to be able to see who fills in for that next level of dept. We can name the 6 names along the offensive line who are going to contribute to what promises to be a very good unit. But who comes next? Well we saw some interesting things. JJ Guedet and Aireontae Ersery were playing at the tackle spots. Those are the names to know for the future as the offensive line is going to look very different than the line.
After Autman-Bell, there is a lot of opportunity for snaps at receiver. Today we saw 6 guys getting the majority of reps. That list was really in no particular order, other than Autman-Bell and Jackson led their respective teams in targets. Those two are going to be the primary weapons on the outside and both had some highlight catches today.
Who were the freshmen who were playing? Well Brady Boyd looked like the freshman who stood out the most. Redshirt frehmen Danny Striggow and Jalen Glaze saw a lot of action. Both were regular fixtures on the field, seeing a lot of snaps.
Ultimately this was an absolutely beautiful day, the game was rather entertaining and it appeared as though the team did not sustain any injuries. A perfect spring game for the Golden Gophers. Now we start the countdown to the season and what may be another special Gopher team. Face coverings, which cover the nose and mouth at all times, must be worn by all spectators inside TCF Bank Stadium. Tailgating will not be permitted on university property or in parking lots and bags will not be permitted inside the stadium.
All fans are also encouraged to decorate an oar and bring it to the game. A collection point will be located outside the stadium on the Tribal Nations Plaza. Hundreds of personalized oars have been decorated by Gopher fans and are prominently displayed in the home tunnel as the team takes the field.
Additionally, the team will be hosting a diaper drive to benefit the Diaper Bank of Minnesota. Leading up to the game, we will continue our coverage of spring Gopher football by previewing each position group. A year after rewriting the school record books, Morgan saw his production decline in While the extenuating circumstances certainly can't be ignored, the bottom line is that Morgan didn't perform nearly as well as he did in In seven games he averaged fewer than passing yards per game with nearly as many interceptions five as touchdowns seven.
Having started the last 26 games record , Morgan's spot atop the depth chart appears secure but a strong showing in the spring would only serve as a confidence booster for him and the Gophers as a whole. Expect Zack Annexstad, who started seven games his freshman season , Cole Kramer, and Jacob Clark also to get some opportunities at quarterback as P. Part of the reason for Morgan's declining passing numbers can be attributed to Rashod Bateman , the Big Ten's Richter-Howard Receiver of the Year in , only playing in five games last fall before opting out.
He's now preparing for the NFL draft so a new No. Chris Autman-Bell, second to Bateman in catches 22 and receiving yards last season, will probably take over as the primary target, but he will need help. Two members of this year's recruiting class — Lemeke Brockington and Brady Boyd — enrolled early and will be taking part in the spring as well. Fleck said in his pre-spring press conference that wide receiver is one of the more youthful and inexperienced positions on his current roster, but it's also the fastest group he's had in his five years at Minnesota.
This spring will be finding out what each brings to the table, besides speed. One of the bright spots to Minnesota's season was running back Mohamed Ibrahim. The Big Ten Running Back of the Year and first-team All-Big Ten selection led the conference in rushing 1, yards and finished second nationally in rushing yards per game Dunlap tore his Achilles while Faalele opted out.
There are two other linemen Nathan Boe, Aireontae Ersery with starting experience on the roster and Karter Shaw, a transfer for Utah State, is expected to take part in spring practice. Now it's just a matter of finding which guy fits where and beginning the process of identifying his starting five.
