There may be uncertainty at quarterback for Minnesota, but it's only temporary.
The Gophers aren't short on confidence in backup Chris Streveler, who they've already seen win a game as the starter, piling up rushing yards and showing more than a few similarities to starter Mitch Leidner in the process.
But whenever Leidner is healthy, coach Jerry Kill has made it quite clear that his pecking order won't change -- and he'll get no argument from Streveler.
"Quarterback controversy? There's no positive in something like that for a team in a season like this," Streveler told ESPN.com. "Mitch has done a great job, great guy, great quarterback, great leader, so that's why it's easy to stand behind him.
"All the guys stand behind him, and if he's ready to go, he's going to lead us. But if he can't go, then I'm going to step in there and do the best job I can."
