per Chip:
The Gophers offense has been described as pedestrian, old school, a throwback. Some might even find it boring amid a fast-and-furious craze in college football.
The new offensive model is to play at supersonic speed. No huddle, up-tempo, run as many plays as humanly possible in a 60-minute game to put pressure on defenses by making them tired, confused and uncomfortable.
The Gophers prefer the tortoise-and-hare approach.
They run the ball. They huddle after plays. Then they run the ball again, a methodical mind-set that spits in the eye of breakneck offense.
“The old station wagon,” offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover said.
The Gophers take pride in their approach because it’s efficient and tough. They like to think it’s built to last, too.
