MN Daily: Gophers focused on improving passing attack

[BleedGopher]

per the Daily:

Limegrover, Kill and quarterbacks coach Jim Zebrowski have all gushed about Leidner’s leadership during the offseason. Despite being a senior, running back David Cobb also appears to be fine with letting Leidner, a redshirt sophomore, run the team.

“He’s done a lot of film work; he’s gotten stronger,” Cobb said. “You can tell. Look at his face; he means business.”

If Leidner’s offseason focus pays off, the Gophers should be a much-improved passing team moving forward. Minnesota ranked last in the Big Ten in passing yards last season with 1,925 — more than 600 yards shy of the next-worst team.

This is not about Air Raid, no way. What it is all about, is improving Leidner's completion percentage. The ratio of 45-50 rushes and 18-20 passes will remain. If Leidner can complete 60% it would be 2-3 more catches per game. Catches on third down, to keep a drive alive. And if he can hit receivers in stride, either on the sidelines or a slant, or post its a big play. We cannot stop the clock with our offense. We want to shorten the game, play great defense and make a play to win.
