per the AP:
He's not a scrambling quarterback, but in a system that uses plenty of run-pass option plays he has to be nimble, so he focused on improving his speed during offseason conditioning. Pointing to the sleep tracker he wears on his wrist, Morgan also has become more cognizant of total-body health, seeking any additional edge he can for what could be his final year in college.
If the Gophers are ever going to have a legitimate chance to beat a team like Ohio State, it ought to be this year, with Morgan at the helm behind an extra-experienced offensive line and Mo Ibrahim — a preseason Associated Press All-America second-team pick — at running back next to him. The Gophers host the fourth-ranked Buckeyes on Thursday night to open the season.
“He is a wonderful person, an elite leader, and he’s gotten better in the offseason,” Fleck said. "He’s got that competitive spirit, that competitive greatness that you want to be able to see in every area of his life and that needs to rub off on our entire team, which it has. I’m just proud of the progress that he’s made on and off the field.”
