Per Randy:
On Oct. 20, 2018, Tanner Morgan relieved injured starting quarterback Zack Annexstad to start the second half of the Gophers' 53-28 loss at Nebraska. Morgan, then a redshirt freshman, led two touchdown drives in the third quarter, pulling Minnesota within 28-22 before the Cornhuskers took over.
"It was gritty, gutsy," coach P.J. Fleck said of Morgan's performance. "That's what he is."
With Annexstad recovering from a midsection injury, Morgan was under center for the next week's game against Indiana, the first of 45 consecutive starts he would make.
Four years later on Saturday, Athan Kaliakmanis relieved injured starter Morgan in the second half of the Gophers' 20-13 victory at Nebraska. With his team trailing 10-0 at intermission, the redshirt freshman led four second-half scoring drives, two for TDs and two for field goals.
Go Gophers!!

Injury may force a changing of the guard for Gophers at quarterback
Tanner Morgan's uncertain injury status means Athan Kaliakmanis could be in the running to start Saturday vs. Northwestern.
