Per Chip:
It's obvious that Kaliakmanis has all the physical tools and confidence necessary to be a successful Big Ten quarterback. Pressure situations like Thursday will only accelerate his development.
Kaliakmanis showed off his strong arm by firing passes into tight windows. His throws were mostly short-to-intermediate routes. He took a few deep shots to Jackson in the fourth quarter, including one that should have resulted in a pass interference penalty that was not called.
The most encouraging part of Kaliakmanis' performance was his efficiency on third down. In the first quarter he had three third-down conversions on passes and one on a nine-yard scramble.
Go Gophers!!

Athan Kaliakmanis looks the part despite Gophers' growing pains
The sophomore quarterback put up 44 pass attempts and helped guide a comeback with his team's running game having trouble getting going.
