Next up: Minnesota
Nebraska may have the best returner and Maryland may have the best kicker, but the Gophers boast the top punter. Peter Mortell was last season's B1G punter of the year, as he averaged 45.1 yards a punt and booted the pigskin 50 yards or more about once in every three tries. But he's not the only reason the Gophers are next up. Jalen Myrick finished second in the conference in kick return average -- his 28.2 yard average was behind only Maryland's Likely -- and Craig James finished within the top-five in punt return average. Kicker Ryan Santoso needs to get better, but at least last season was his first as a starter. Overall, the Gophers are have a lot to build from.
