per the DM Register:

Statistics tell one story. Video clips from Minnesota football games tell another.

Yes, the Gophers rank last in the Big Ten conference with 140.5 passing yards. And yes, they're averaging 216 rushing yards.

Does that mean Minnesota runs a one-trick offense?

Carl Davis, Iowa's senior defensive tackle, says it's a little more complicated than you might think.

"The thing is, I feel like they are balanced," Davis said. "They run to a point where it opens their play-action pass.

"I watched where they ran it maybe four straight times, and the whole defense sunk in and they got a deep ball."
