per the Daily:
Reporters occasionally ask defensive coordinator Jay Sawvel if safety Damarius Travis had a good game on Saturday.
Sawvel has the same answer each time.
“ don't have to worry about him … I got asked last week something about him, well he plays good every week, really,” Sawvel said. “Move on, who's the next guy? That's kind of the way it is.”
That’s been that way for the eight Minnesota games this season.
Travis has started them all and excelled in each one, Sawvel said.
The redshirt senior is tied for first on the team in interceptions and is second on the team in tackles.
Sawvel said it isn’t what Travis does that makes him arguably the Gophers’ best defensive player, it’s how he elevates the skill level of his surrounding teammates.
“I think he makes the game easier for them because … they can get lined up quick and they know what they're looking at quick, and he does his job,” Sawvel said. “There's a big comfort in that. It's a sign of a good player. Good players typically, by doing what they need to do, typically can make other people around them a little bit better.”
