Don't understand, even with the fumbles, how anybody who saw the game didn't think that Mitch had a great game.
"Leidner had completed just 37 percent of his passes in the final three regular season games. His first pass against Missouri was incomplete but he followed that with 14 consecutive completions, matching the school record set by Adam Weber against Bowling Green in 2008.
Fourteen in a row was quite a leap; Leidner completed 13 passes combined against Nebraska and Wisconsin..
Kill said Leidner made progress in the 15 bowl practices and noticed the difference in the way he checked down to find open receivers. Leidner could have added at least 25 yards to his passing total if Berkley Edwards hadn’t dropped one with the Gophers trying to come back in the fourth quarter. Leidner also overthrew Fruechte deep when he got open on a post pattern."
