per Megan:
Chris Autman-Bell somehow got one foot inbounds to make a spectacular 20-yard touchdown catch and force overtime in the Gophers’ 38-35 win at Fresno State a week ago.
But someone had to toss that pass.
“A lot of people talk about Chris’ catch. Not enough people are talking about the throw,” Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said. “Tanner Morgan put that exactly where that needed to be with a guy in his face and getting hit.”
Offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca agreed, saying the great throw — on fourth-and-13 with 46 seconds to play — “had to be perfect, and it was perfect.”
Morgan minimized his role somewhat. The sophomore was more impressed with the coaching staff’s trust to call the gutsy play and the players’ confidence to enact it.
“There was no doubt in that huddle,” Morgan said. “And again, all I did was just give the chance to make a play.”
