per Randy:
Together they've accounted for 168 tackles this season, the Gophers' two leading tacklers and stalwarts for a defense that ranks fourth in the nation in fewest yards allowed.
Mariano Sori-Marin and fellow linebacker Jack Gibbens both weigh in at 245 pounds and have spent the season bringing down such physical and talented running backs as Wisconsin's Braelon Allen and Ohio State's TreVeyon Henderson. Sori-Marin, a senior with eligibility for 2022, and Gibbens, a graduate transfer from Abilene Christian, have a lot in common. And they share a guilty pleasure.
Romantic comedies.
"Romantic comedies? That is true,'' Sori-Marin said with a smile but no hint of embarrassment on Sunday during the Gophers media day ahead of Tuesday's Guaranteed Rate Bowl against West Virginia. "We're roommates on the road, too, so every once in a while, one will get thrown on the TV.''
Sori-Marin quickly blurted out his favorite romcom. "Oh, 'Sweet Home Alabama,' adding that he's a Reese Witherspoon fan. " 'Fool's Gold' is another good one. He's trying to put me on 'Crazy, Stupid Love,' but I haven't seen that one yet.''
