5. TANNER MORGAN, MINNESOTA
Stat line: 78 of 111 (70.3 percent) for 1,250 yards and 13 touchdowns to three interceptions;
The word: When should Morgan be taken more seriously? The sophomore's taken a huge step in his second season as Minnesota’s starter, leading the Golden Gophers to an undefeated start. In five games, he’s already surpassed his 2018 total in passing touchdowns — nine — by four. Morgan has talented wide receivers at his disposal and he’s done the bulk of the damage against lesser competition, but the second-year starter deserves a lot of credit for having Minnesota in a spot to contend with Iowa and Wisconsin for the West Division. Let’s see what happens next when Morgan and the Gophers take the big stage Saturday against Nebraska, which is followed by later matchups with Penn State and Iowa later in the fall.
