per Randy:
The Gophers on Tuesday morning released their depth chart for Saturday’s game at Purdue, and it contained a couple of interesting wrinkles.
First, true freshman Ken Handy-Holly is listed as a starter at safety in place of the suspended Duke McGhee. Handy-Holly made his debut on last week’s 31-24 loss to Maryland and will start ahead of senior Adekunle Ayinde.
“I thought he played well. He did what he was supposed to do,’’ coach P.J. Fleck said of Handy-Holly on Monday. “You could tell it was his first experience that he ever had playing college football, but again there is always a first for everybody.’’
The other starting safety, Antoine Winfield Jr., still is listed as a starter on the depth chart. Fleck said “we’ll see’’ regarding Winfield’s availability following a hamstring injury suffered in the first quarter against Maryland.
The other interesting development on the depth chart was the listing of Demry Croft as the third-string quarterback. The sophomore has been suspended indefinitely for violating team rules, and Fleck on Monday was asked if there was a path for Croft to return to the team. “Eventually,’’ the coach said.
