per FSN:
1. Mitch Leidner is Minnesota's quarterback moving forward.
After rushing for four touchdowns two weeks ago against San Jose State, Leidner didn't play at all in last weekend's loss to Iowa. Instead, the Gophers started sophomore Philip Nelson at quarterback, a move that didn't pan out. Against Michigan on Saturday it was the redshirt freshman Leidner getting his second career start -- and his first in the Big Ten.
Leidner had a short-term memory early on. He fumbled on Minnesota's first possession and turned the ball over, which led to a Michigan touchdown six plays later. On the Gophers' next drive, though, Leidner led Minnesota on a 16-play, 75-yard scoring drive that was capped by a 7-yard touchdown pass to tight end Maxx Williams. Leidner was a perfect 5-for-5 in the first quarter as Minnesota's offense finally had success moving the ball.
