per Megan:
Sunday night football
The Gophers play on Sunday nights, too. At least the scout team does. While the day after the game usually involves some conditioning and cleanup work for the starters, the practice squad gets some game reps.
Defensive coordinator Joe Rossi calls the defense and wide receivers coach Matt Simon calls the offense, unless some players make guest coaching appearances, like safety Antoine Winfield Jr., quarterback Tanner Morgan, linebacker Thomas Barber and quarterback Zack Annexstad.
“Tanner comes over to us afterwards [and says], ‘It’s way harder than you think,’ ” Fleck said. “… I think it’s really important for their development to do those things. Everybody is involved. We’d have sideline warnings left and right if we had officials on the field. People are storming the field. You’d think Cal-Stanford every single Sunday. It’s unbelievable.”
There’s even a trophy involved for the MVP.
