per Joe:

As for the nickel?

"We'll have to see," Sawvel said. "Antonio Shenault’s worked it, Antoine Winfield’s worked it, Coney Durr’s worked it. We know we can use Damarius [Travis] there; that’s not where we really want to use him. Kunle has worked it, so we’ll just have to see with that a little bit."

Sawvel noted that the Gophers have Myrick and then six cornerbacks who are freshmen or sophomores. He is very high on those young players, even true freshmen Thomas, Durr and Winfield. But it's going to take some patience.

"It’s going to take us the two games [Oregon State and Indiana State] and then the open date to sort of get some things sorted out probably," Sawvel said. "That’s not the ideal. Man, you just wish you had it down right now, but that’s not unusual. You sort of have to learn that about guys you don’t know as much about. So that’s where there will be a little trial and error here."

Go Gophers!!
 



Agree but don't think coverage will be super important vs Penn State, they're going to pound the rock all day.

Maybe but Franklin might be feeling some heat by the time we get there and he may want to test his passing game more at that point.
