Per Randy:

P.J. Fleck took his Gophers football team to Huntington Bank Stadium on Sunday night for practice, a detour from the usual routine at the Athletes Village. The goal for the coach was to reintroduce his team to a gamelike urgency after going through its first of two bye weeks last week.

The Gophers last played Oct. 12 when they beat UCLA 21-17 at Rose Bowl Stadium, improving to 4-3 overall, running their win streak to two games and completing a California two-step with wins over the Bruins and then-No. 11 USC to get the season pointed in a positive direction.

Fleck welcomed the week off as a chance for banged-up players to heal and for he and his staff to do a deep look at how they can improve the team in all three phases – offense, defense and special teams.

“When you get to the bye week, the No. 1 thing for a team is to get healthy,” Fleck said. “… The No. 2 objective was to get better at the things we’re not very good at, and then to keep mastering the things we are. … And then No. 3 was obviously to get out recruiting and to self-scout. We were able to do that.”


Go Gophers!!
