per ESPN:

Offensive MVP: Leidner took over the offense when the Gophers traveled to Ann Arbor a week and a half ago and while he didn’t pick up a win, he put together a few very successful drives against the Wolverines. In his five games he has averaged a team-leading 127.6 yards per game and his ability to be a running threat provides a spark for the Gophers that they just didn’t have with Nelson. His potential could be enough to help the Gophers pick up two more wins and become bowl eligible this season.

Defensive MVP: Defensive tackle Ra’Shede Hageman’s 23 tackles this season is fifth best on the Gophers, but he has a team leading 6.5 tackles for a loss, one 11-yard sack, three pass breakups and two blocked kicks. His athleticism on the defensive line is crucial for the Minnesota defense. Hageman has focused on getting to quarterbacks and while he hasn’t achieved that kind of success yet this season, he does provide an intimidating presence.
