Chip Scoggins: Antoine Winfield and Tyler Johnson make strong 1-2 punch

per Chip:

The ball was loose on the turf, and a host of bodies scrambled to grab it. The ball ended up in the Playmaker’s hands. As usual, Antoine Winfield Jr. made a big play.

Rinse, repeat.

Winfield continues to produce game-changing plays so frequently that they have become routine.

Tyler Johnson is giving him a run for his money.

The Gophers emerged from the nonconference portion of their schedule undefeated at 3-0 in large part because their best players have lived up to that billing.

Especially those two, Winfield and Johnson — one on offense and the other on defense, both playing like all-conference standouts.

Go Gophers!!

Good piece and yeah those two have been great to this point in the season. The only knock on Johnson is that he has had some easy drops in each game. If he can figure out how to hang onto some of those he could be an even bigger beast than he has been so far. Johnson has shown a real ability to get open and Annexstad has shown some nice accuracy, going to be a lot of fun to watch those two over the remainder of this season and then next year.

Winfield is just a great all around football player. Just a joy to watch him play the game.
