per Chip:
On the first series of his senior season, Mitch Leidner handed the ball off three consecutive times followed by a punt. Where’s the fun in that?
That didn’t look like a new, more diversified offense.
His first pass sailed over his receiver’s head out of bounds, no chance at being caught. That didn’t look different, either.
Ultimately, Leidner saved the Gophers’ bacon largely with his tough running.
Now that looked familiar.
The first look-see at the Gophers new offense under coordinator Jay Johnson on Thursday night showed that this remake will be a work in progress, not something that’s fixed with a snap of the fingers.
Mistakes and sloppy play came early before Leidner used his feet to help the Gophers avoid a disastrous start with a 30-23 victory over Oregon State at TCF Bank Stadium.
Leidner passed for only 130 yards and no touchdowns, but he ran for 76 yards and two TDs on 13 carries.
Same old, same old.
