per Chip:
Saturday's tune-up provided the perfect moment to work on their passing game, knowing they had a comfortable margin for error.
Morgan connected with Autman-Bell on a deep cross for 54 yards. He squeezed a pass between the cornerback and safety to Le'Meke Brockington for a 36-yard completion. And when Western Illinois left 6-7 tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford wide open down the field, Morgan tossed an easy pitch-and-catch for a 45-yard touchdown.
"That was really fun," Morgan said. "It was a great play call. We got the perfect look for it. It was just a really cool moment."
The quarterback and play-caller had other cool moments, which is what the offense needs. Games will become harder and more stressful moving forward. Building confidence in the passing game so that the offense has balance is a necessary step in preparing for that jump in competition.

Gophers take right approach in airing it out with QB Tanner Morgan and receivers
Minnesota got an opportunity put the passing game through its paces in a rout of Western Michigan, which could bode well for the future.
