"MINNEAPOLIS -- While the Minnesota Gophers made major strides in 2013 towards defining themselves as run-heavy, power football team, the lack of a viable passing game was a glaring hindrance to the offense's identity.
The Gophers ranked 115th in the FBS last season in passing (148.1 yards per game). That was better only other eight teams. An ever-changing situation at quarterback, a crop of inexperienced receivers and obvious pass blocking deficiencies combined to make the offense far from a formidable threat through the air.
Minnesota is intent on changing that. That remains one of the biggest preseason questions: Can the Gophers' pass game takes that much-needed developmental leap?"
