per Phil:
To an outsider, it was an easy question to ask after Minnesota started 0-2.
Rashod Bateman, perhaps one of the NFL’s next great wide receivers, came back for this?
But for the first time this fall, we got a real reminder of just how dominant the Gophers’ “Agent Zero” can be in the Golden Gophers’ 41-14 victory at Illinois on Saturday. And it also provided a window into why Bateman chose to opt back in after COVID-19 caused him to reconsider his junior season of football in the Twin Cities.
“It definitely feels good,” Bateman said, immediately turning his gaze toward a Friday night matchup against rival Iowa. “But in a couple of hours, you know it’s gonna be over with.”
Ten catches. 139 yards. A 5-yard touchdown pass on a fade route from Tanner Morgan that Bateman actually took his eyes off momentarily while it was in midair to make sure he had room in the end zone.

Days like Saturday are why Rashod Bateman returned to Minnesota
