per InsideNU:
Three players to watch
RB Rodney Smith
Smith has amassed over 2,800 yards in his career, though he has struggled in matchups with Northwestern. With young QBs on the roster and unproven options at receiver, Smith will get a ton of work this season.
LB Thomas Barber
Barber was Minnesota’s leading tackler last season, and led the team in run stuffs by a wide margin. He also proved to be a capable playmaker, which will be important for a Minnesota team that plays in a lot of close games and should be on the cusp of bowl eligibility.
S Jacob Huff
Huff is a durable, talented safety. He was both a valuable tackler and cover-man last season, accumulating a team-high three interceptions. Huff will play an important role across the field for a defense that may have to carry the team for stretches early in the season.
