Minnesota's experience is also relevant​

The other coach with a good reason to tout experience as an asset was Minnesota's P.J. Fleck. The Golden Gophers tally 20 returning starters from last year's 3-4 team. While a sub. 500 season took some wind from the sails of Fleck's proverbial boat after an 11-2 campaign in 2019, he was energetic as ever in casting a vision for his program.

None of those returning starters are more important than quarterback Tanner Morgan and running back Mohamed Ibrahim, who tallied 1,100 yards on the ground in just seven games last season.

"He's kind of like a bowling ball going down hill with razor blades on it," Fleck said of Ibrahim. "He's not the biggest guy, not the strongest guy, not the fastest guy, but he is one of the toughest guys, I think, in the country, and I'm glad he's on our team."


Go Gophers!!
