Lots of love for Gopher from PFF this week. They name Tanner Morgan, Rashod Bateman and Antoine Winfield Jr on their team of the week.

Tanner Morgan, Minnesota
Morgan worked all levels of the field against Penn State, and worked them beautifully. He connected on 18-of-20 passes for 339 yards and three scores, averaging a whopping 17.0 yards per attempt and finishing with the nation’s top passing grade by a large margin. He hit 5-of-6 deep shots for 189 yards and two of his scores while he also dominated the middle of the field between the Nittany Lions. He completed all of his passes targeted between the numbers, finishing 13-of-13 for 150 of his yards and a touchdown as just about anywhere he wanted to put the football, he did, and did it beautifully.
Rashod Bateman, Minnesota
If you haven’t been paying attention to Minnesota football, us here at PFF or just frankly didn’t care about college football in general, you probably hadn’t heard of Rashod Bateman. Well, you’ve missed out. Making his third appearance on the National Team of the Week, Bateman hauled in all seven of his targeted passes for 203 yards, a touchdown and six more first-down receptions. He picked apart the Penn State secondary with relative ease, gaining 29.0 yards per catch and another 10.4 yards after the catch per reception.
Antoine Winfield Jr., Minnesota
Racking up his sixth and seventh interceptions of the season, Winfield was a free-roaming havoc-wrecker for the Gophers on defense against Penn State. He also recorded 11 solo tackles and two defensive stops as he limited the Nittany Lions to zero receptions into his primary coverage. Winfield has now put his name on the map with a dominant performance that not only solidifies him as the highest-graded safety but also a potential early draft pick in April.
