Darius Taylor will start against Rhode Island.

The Gophers improved by over 2 touchdowns on last season vs UNC and were missing their most dynamic offensive player. This is an improved team! LFG!

Does PJ ease him back into the rotation by limiting him to only 40 carries today?

Hmmm... I'm not sure about this decision. They must think he is absolutely 100% ready or there is no way he'd see the field today. I'm excited to see him pay but fingers will be crossed. Please stay healthy.

I would throw him a bunch of passes so the Gophers can develop some new plays against a FCS opponent and catching passes out of the backfield is good for DT's pro career.

It's a whole type of plays the Gophers don't use much and this ends up screwing over our backs when they want to go pro.

They are also good plays if your OL is allowing pressure.

I hope they limit his touches

I hope

10 carries today.
17 carries Nevada
27 carries Iowa

Brosmer with under 10 attempts as the running backs run for a combined 400 yards?

I’ll blow my top.

So 30 instead of 45

If the coaches are watching receivers drop balls in practice like right now.

I agree. I wouldn’t let him get more than 10 touches. He would get a bigger workload next week against Nevada.
