per Chip:

The Gophers football team had a bye week before its Big Ten opener, which means offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca had two weeks to prepare his game plan.

He only needed 30 seconds.

He could have scribbled down one play on an index card and brought that with him to the game Saturday.

Slant pass.

There, done. Go get ’em, boys.

The Gophers ran a fast-break offense to perfection because their wide receiver corps is fantastic and Purdue’s defense is the opposite of fantastic.

Tanner Morgan and his highlight-film receivers played a simple game of pitch and catch in posting video game statistics in a 38-31 rout-turned-dramatic victory over Purdue at Ross-Ade Stadium.

“We have playmakers everywhere, which is really nice to have,” Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said.

Morgan was nearly perfect throwing the ball, completing 20 of 21 passes for 396 yards and four touchdowns. One incompletion? What a slacker.

When was the last the Gophers had so many offensive weapons?
