per the Daily:

Continuity is one of the key elements every football coach and player loves to have coming into any season, and those who have it are reaping the rewards in an odd 2020 season.

For the Gophers’ offense, continuity was somewhat of a mixed bag at the beginning of the season. Yes, Minnesota replaced former offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca with new co-coordinators in newcomer Mike Sanford and newly promoted Matt Simon.

But, the team also had the luxury of returning many key players like Tanner Morgan at quarterback, Rashod Bateman and Chris Autman-Bell at receiver and Mohamed Ibrahim at running back.

Even the offensive line had continuity with three returning starters and two others, John Michael Schmitz and Axel Ruschmeyer, who were ready to step into starting roles.

With over a third of the season completed, Morgan and the coordinators have communicated smoothly during games, playmakers have been getting the ball and the offense has seen continuous improvement from game to game.


Go Gophers!!
