per Randy:
Gophers coach P.J. Fleck sent a message Tuesday: If you don’t catch the football, you might not play.
The Gophers released their depth chart for Saturday’s game against No. 5 Wisconsin, and a trio of redshirt freshmen — Mark Williams, Phillip Howard and Clay Geary — are listed as starters. Conspicuously absent from the depth chart — a document that is subject to change — were junior Rashad Still, who made a 36-yard reception in last week’s 39-0 loss at Northwestern, and senior Eric Carter, who was listed as a starter against the Wildcats.
Minnesota (5-6, 2-6 Big Ten) got little from its passing game Saturday, with leading receiver Tyler Johnson sidelined for the rest of the regular season because of a broken left hand. Quarterback Demry Croft completed his first two passes for 43 yards but was 0-for-9 with three interceptions the rest of the game, and his receivers dropped six passes.
“We’ve got to coach ’em better,” Fleck said. “… If you do the right things, you’re going to be a part of this program. If you don’t do the right things, you’re not going to be part of this program.”
Fleck said the changes weren’t suspensions, but he did imply players needed to pay attention to their craft.
“It’s one of those things that goes for every area, it goes for working on getting your game better,” he said. “That’s not just the 20 hours that you’re allowed during practice. That’s getting yourself better so that when you do get in game situations, whether you’re experienced or not experienced, whether you’re young or you’re old, you get in there and you execute.”
