What is going on with the kicking game? Replacing punter Ryan Santoso is a tall order. Is Grant Ryerse ever going to kick for the Gophers? He was an early recruit.

33 Grant Ryerse-----------K / P--6-2-----210---R-Fr.---Woodbury, Minn. / East Ridge
34 Brock Walker-----------K------5-10---190----Fr.-----Sioux Falls, S.D. / Washington
37 John Mack--------------K------6-0-----195---R-So.--Hartland, Wis. / Arrowhead
38 Emmit Carpenter------K------6-0-----200----R-Sr.--Green Bay, Wis. / Ashwaubenon
48 Anders Gelecinskyj----K------6-2-----200----So.----Bloomington, Minn. / Kennedy, MSU
 

His Dad's name is Wolodymyr Gelecinskyj? I think he was in Lord Of The Rings.
 

He is on the 2016 MSU Roster, and that what those stats are from. However, he is not listed on the 2017 MSU Roster. Strange.
 



Can any of the current kickers punt to the Gophers coaches satisfaction? The field position game can cost the Gophers a game or two.
