per Off Tackle Empire:
Can the Gopher offense go far enough?
You know the old saying: If you have two (or three) QBs, you have no QBs.
I think we’re ready to add the corollary: If you have no QBs...you’re probably Minnesota.
And that’s an objectively troubling thing for the Gophers in 2019, unlike in years past, because damn, does this offense have the pieces to go, go, go! Check out the RBs, where Rodney Smith, Shannon Brooks, and Mohamed Ibrahim will all see substantial time and carriers, barring injury. Or look to the wide receivers—who have a claim to be the best corps in the Big Ten: Tyler Johnson comes back for his senior year already owning the school’s single-season yards and TDs records...and he’s joined again by Rashod Bateman and Chris Autman-Bell. Hell, even TE Jake Paulson played in all 13 games, and rising redshirt frosh Brevyn Spann-Ford is getting love from Fleck & Co. and bloggers alike. Oh, and mountain-mover Daniel Faalele will start his sophomore season the fan-favorite at RT.
So with only two starters lost, writers, you’ll have to tell us: Zack Annexstad or Tanner Morgan? Will freshman Jacob Clark or Cole Kramer come out of nowhere and seize the job? Does it matter who the Gophers trot out under center, or is this an offense made to get the ball and roll with it?
