per WCCO:
The Gophers football coaches made no bones about it at the start of the spring: If their team is to get better, their passing game has to get better.
So has it?
“Yeah, definitely,” quarterback Mitch Leidner said. “I feel like we’ve taken a huge step.”
The Gophers tweaked a number of things in their offense this spring.
“Tampered with things, tried new things,” receiver Drew Wolitarsky said. “A lot of our route concepts have changed this year to get us open, get us the ball.”
The guy getting them the ball — Leidner — has shown some good growth, too.
“His composure over the last three or four practices has been really good,” Coach Jerry Kill said.
Leidner agrees.
“Especially over the last week, the progression with making my reads out there on the field has improved a lot since the beginning of spring,” Leidner said. “I know it was something Coach Kill had emphasized.”
