Minnesota Has an NFL QB Prospect. Will They Let Him Air It Out?

Minnesota has finished 8-5 in consecutive seasons, and the pieces are there for P.J. Fleck to put another solid team on the field in Year 10. Drake Lindsey returns at quarterback, Darius Taylor is back in the backfield, and the Gophers bring back 71% of their offensive production along with several intriguing options who could finally help stretch the field.

In this Minnesota football preview, we ask whether the Gophers will become less risk-averse and let Lindsey attack downfield, whether Taylor can stay healthy enough to anchor the running game, and how much a defense replacing several key pieces can be trusted against a difficult, travel-heavy schedule. Another bowl season feels attainable, but getting beyond seven or eight wins may require the offense to finally find some pop. .
