per ESPN:
No. 18: Minnesota CB Eric Murray
Neither side of the field is all that safe to throw to against the Golden Gophers, and the cornerback combination makes Eric Murray and Briean Boddy-Calhoun something of a package deal in the rankings. Both are talented and would stand out among the best in the conference even without the help of a top-notch teammate alongside him, but the way the two work together is what makes Minnesota so tough against the pass. Murray is often tasked with the toughest schematic assignment and is projected as a better professional prospect, giving him the slightest of edges in the preseason poll.
No. 19: Minnesota CB Briean Boddy-Calhoun
The other half of Minnesota's formula to slow down the pass, Boddy-Calhoun has made it clear that when opportunities come his way, he knows how to capitalize. The senior nabbed five interceptions, forced two fumbles and recovered another during his breakout season for the Gophers a year ago. If quarterbacks are unwilling to test Murray, there’s a decent chance they might just be turning the football over anyway with Boddy-Calhoun lurking in the secondary.
