2. Mohamed Ibrahim, RB, Minnesota
At this point it seems everyone in the B1G has received P.J. Fleck’s telegraph: while everyone else in the Minnesota program is busy trying to patch up the Golden Gophers’ leaky boat, Mohamed Ibrahim will keep rowing.

Minnesota’s one-tract game plan: hand to Ibrahim, don’t bother to rinse, repeat. The 5-10, 210-pound junior battering ram added 33 carries and 144 yards to his rushing totals Friday night against Iowa. The Hawkeyes’ stout defense made him work for every inch and kept him out of the end zone for the first time this season.

Given that Ibrahim entered the game leading the country in rushing yards per game (190.3) and still does afterward (178.8), Iowa kinda has to get credit for holding him in check.

On the season, Ibrahim is up to 715 yards at 5.5 per carry, essentially taking one for the team as QB Tanner Morgan struggles and Fleck tries to keep his depleted defense off the field as much as possible.


Go Gophers!!
