Just a short update on the Gophers in the Canadian Football league. Woli, Streveler, and Richardson all play for Winnipeg which makes it easier for me.
Wolitarsky: Has 8 receptions and 3 tds in 3 games for the 3-0 Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Is becoming a premier "Canadian" receiver (he has Canadian citizenship). Looks like he will have a long and productive CFL career.
Streveler: Currently back-up and short yardage quarterback. Threw his first TD pass of the season to Wolitarsky last Friday (perhaps the first Gopher to Gopher td pass in professional football? Unless they hooked up last year- don`t think so but not going to check). Has 16 carries for 58 yards and 3 touchdowns. Played most of the second half last Friday after starter got hurt. Had an interception on a tipped ball but otherwise looked good. He is a physical beast. Fast and huge. I think the NFL is in his future as a #3 qb/ special teams hybrid. His athletic skills are off the charts. He went 6-8 for 42 yards in relief. Arm strength may to be his weakness but not overly noticeable.
Steven Richardson: Has 6 tackles in 3 games for a dominant D (allowed only 1 td in 3 games). Rotates in as far as I can tell. Coaches seem to love him (what else is new).
Simoni Lawrence: Still one of the best D players in the CFL. Has 20 tackles and 2 interceptions in 4 games for Hamilton.
