per Sid:
U offensive line set
The Gophers offensive line will have the same starters against Ohio U who struggled with Kent State, and they will have to block much better this week. The group will include Josh Campion at right tackle, Jonah Pirsig at left tackle, Brian Bobek at the center spot and then Joe Bjorklund and Connor Mayes at the guard spots.
“Ben Lauer [an offensive tackle] broke his hand yesterday, and he’ll be questionable to play on Saturday,” said head coach Jerry Kill. “We’ll start our five starters that we started last week and we better not get anybody hurt. At tight end Brandon Lingen is back.”
On another subject, Kill talked about Frank Solich, the Ohio U coach who Nebraska fired after the 2003 season when the Huskers went 9-3 and finished No. 19 in the Top 25 poll.
“Frank Solich, yeah we go way back, we used to travel around on the Glazier Clinic [coaching] tour together and got to know each other,” said Kill. “Of course he was an assistant then and then became the head coach at the University of Nebraska. Then we coached against each other in the MAC and became good friends. He is a good man, a good football coach, won a lot of games at Nebraska. His football team is 3-0 and there’s a reason.”
