4. MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS
There’s a big reason why the Gophers are heading into their Week 10 bye with an undefeated record and the success of their pass-catching unit is certainly a part of that big reason. In contention for best receiver trio in the nation, Rashod Bateman, Tyler Johnson and Chris Autman-Bell have dominated the competition this season. Bateman leads the way with 644 yards on his 31 receptions, averaging a massive 20.8 yards per catch and 28 receiving conversions. Tyler Johnson has come on slow as opposing defenses know he’s the best player on the field but still has put forth 44 receptions for 625 yards and seven scores. Autman-Bell has secured just 17 passes but churned those into 288 yards, four scores and 10 more first-down receptions. In total, the Gophers receiving corps with their talented trio and the rest of the pass-catchers have combined to average 8.91 yards per route run (9th), 15.64 yards per reception (8th), 129.5 passer rating when targeted (6th) and haul in 58.1% of the contested targets their way (6th). Good luck trying to stop that efficiency.
