Per Chip:
He looks like the real deal with his poise, accuracy, arm strength and overall presence in operating the offense.
The surest sign of Fleck’s confidence in Lindsey came in the second half play calls. Missing their top two running backs (Darius Taylor and A.J. Turner) to injuries, the Gophers managed only 13 rushing yards on nine carries in the first half.
Fleck and offensive coordinator Greg Harbaugh Jr. essentially said, “forget it,” and ripped up their game plan.
The new plan: “Put the ball in No. 5’s hands and let 5 go win the game.”
No. 5 accepted the challenge. He attempted 19 passes in the third quarter alone and went 23-of-28 for 202 yards and two touchdowns in the second half.
“They just told me they’re putting it in my hands, and we’re going to go win this game,” Lindsey said. “That puts a lot of confidence in the offense and me knowing they’re putting it on me and our guys to make plays.”

Scoggins: Quarterback Drake Lindsey delivers when he has to for Gophers
Drake Lindsey showed he can handle the pressure of a big moment when he drove Minnesota to a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter vs. Rutgers.
