KSTP: Fleck likes what QB Kaliakmanis brings to Gophers offense

Per KSTP:

The Gophers football team held their first practice of the fall camp on Monday and one of the biggest changes this year is at quarterback. While Athan Kaliakmanis did start five games last year, this is the first season he enters the season as their starting quarterback.

Head coach P.J. Fleck joked that the biggest difference between Kaliakmanis and former Gophers qb Tanner Morgan is their height but Kaliakmanis does bring other things to the table.

“There’s an X factor, and I think that’s what Athan brings,” Fleck said on Monday at his news conference. “He’s got a little of this moxie. This x factor that he can create. I think that’s the difference that we’ve had.”

Fleck is entering his seventh season in charge of the Gophers program.

Reminds me of mid summer Jerry Kill comments.

I also think Athan Kaliakmanis has it.
Kill had comments like this on some of his WR’s and none of them panned out.

Difference is we've actually seen Athan perform at a fairly high level in Wisc and the bowl game until he got hurt.
