Athan's 44 pass attempts most since Mitch threw 44 times against OSU in 2015

[hello-world]

I was curious so I looked it up. The last time the Gophers threw that many times in a game was in 2015.

Mitch completed 27 passes for 2 TDs and an INT on the way to a 28-14 Gopher loss to #3 tOSU led by Ezekiel Elliot.

Joshua Perry (lack of) targeting on Mitch Leidner is how I remember that game

 

[Spaulding!No!]

It was cold.

I stopped at 2016. Guess I should have gone one more. Real question is when did we last have 40+ attempts in a win?

For the first time in the PJ Fleck era......

.....we attempted more than 40 passes in a game. 44 attempts by Athan against Nebraska marks the highest total in any of Fleck's years with the Gophers. We have surpassed 30 a few times and had 39 attempts in the 2019 game with Iowa. You have to go all the way back to the 2016 game with Penn...
