PFF player grades: Several Gophers shine in upset of USC

[BleedGopher]

Per Josh:

Offense

• RT Quinn Carroll — 79.1
• RB Darius Taylor — 77.0
• TE Nick Kallerup — 75.7
• RB Marcus Major — 75.2
• LT Aireontae Ersery — 75.0
• QB Max Brosmer — 69.8
• TE Frank Bierman — 68.7
• WR Daniel Jackson — 68.6
• WR Cristian Driver — 61.1
• TE Jameson Geers — 60.8

To take down a ranked team like USC, you need your best players to perform at a high level and the Gophers got that on Saturday.

Brosmer didn’t turn the ball over after having thrown an interception in the previous three games; Taylor and Major each averaged over 5 yards per carry and also were key contributors in the receiving game; and don’t overlook the run blocking of not only Minnesota’s offensive line but also the tight ends.

Defense

• S Aidan Gousby — 80.0
• S Koi Perich — 79.4
• CB Justin Walley — 77.5
• LB Eli Mau — 70.8
• DT Nate Becker — 70.5
• DE Lucas Finnessy — 68.7
• S Kerry Brown — 67.7
• LB Joey Gerlach — 67.3
• CB Ethan Robinson — 67.3
• DE Jah Joyner — 67.3
• S Coleman Bryson — 65.4
