per the Rocky Mountain Collegian:
The Colorado State Rams and the Minnesota Golden Gophers met in week two last season in what turned out to be a hard fought 23-20 Minnesota victory in overtime at Hughes stadium.
This year, the Rams travel to Minneapolis for round two when they take on a 2-0 Minnesota team fresh off of a bye week. Minnesota holds wins over Oregon State, 23-20, and Indiana State, 58-28.
As a whole, Minnesota returns 12 starters from last season; six on offense, six on defense.
Redshirt senior quarterback Mitch Leidner returns to lead the Gophers on offense. Leidner, who has started 31 games in his career, has thrown for 425 yards and four touchdowns in two games this season. At 6-feet 4-inches and 230-pounds, Leidner is a mobile quarterback who brings a physical aspect to the Gopher’s running game. He has run for 25 touchdowns in his career.
“He’s an experienced quarterback that’s been through the battles,” CSU coach Mike Bobo said. “He’s an accurate passer that’s mobile. He’s got big targets, and he’s got a running game that’s a quarterback’s best friend.”
