Seeking depth​

The Gophers on Tuesday held their third spring practice and their first in pads at their indoor training facility.

Fleck likened his football team to those teams in the NCAA basketball tournament games he’s watched carefully.

“You look at all the teams in the Sweet 16 right now, and they are deep,” he said. “Our depth is our advantage, period. You look at Michigan State, they’re deep. You look at Florida, they’re deep. Duke is deep, everybody off the bench. A star player goes down, and they go on a 12-2 run even after the leading scorer goes out.

“It’s unbelievable how deep some of these teams are, and we’ve told our team that the deeper we are, the better we are. If we’re not very deep, you’re not going to be very good.”

Auditioning QBs​

Fleck had this to say about who will replace last season’s starter, Max Brosmer, at quarterback:
It’s early.

Drake Lindsey, a redshirt freshman from Fayetteville, Ark., probably is the most advanced in a competition that includes Georgia Tech transfer Zach Pyron.

“We’ve got some guys who are growing at a rapid rate, some who are really learning just to go out and get some snaps, and then we’ve got some people who are really excelling at a high level of processing information,” Fleck said. “It’s only three days in, first day of pads. When we get to Saturday, I’ll probably have a little bit more of information. But they’re all competing against each other, which is great.”

Deep ball on the News was not perfect but it was right on target and caught for a TD.

Love seeing that Drake(or Harbaugh/Fleck) learned about the value of those check downs from Max. He definitely has better arm talent to stretch the ball down field, but if he can sustain drives with the check downs like Max did I like their chances to be even better on offense this season

The ease at which he can throw deep like that is what caught me eye. Something that was noticable in last year's open practices too.
