Reviewing the 2017 Minnesota Golden Gophers

The Gophers are 1-5 in Big Ten play.

Has P.J. Fleck’s boat sprung a leak?

After a 3-0 start (including an impressive 48-14 victory over Oregon State), the Gophers are 1-5 in Big Ten games. Except for last Saturday’s loss to Michigan, the games have all been close.

Make fun of the suggestions that Tanner Lee, er, Mitch Leidner was an NFL caliber quarterback all you want, but it’s clear this year how good Leidner was for the Gophers. Senior Connor Rhoda started the first six games, but has since been benched in favor of sophomore Demry Croft. Rhoda’s numbers weren’t horrible, completing 54% of his passes for five touchdowns with four interceptions. But Croft’s youth and mobility won out in the end. Croft has averaged 3.1 yards per carry while Rhoda nets under two feet a carry, considering sacks. Croft’s passing leaves a lot to be desired, completing just 42% of his passes for four touchdowns and four interceptions.
