Per Chip:
Fleck is showing his wild side.
The Gophers have more passes than runs through eight games, slightly higher at 51% of their total plays.
In Fleck’s seven previous seasons at Minnesota, the offense never finished a season with a passing ratio higher than 40% of their plays.
The Gophers average 31.3 passes per game (easily the highest in Fleck’s tenure), which ranks sixth in the Big Ten and 62nd nationally.
By comparison, here is their season national ranking in pass attempts per game previously under Fleck: 123, 126, 127, 105, 111, 106, 124.
Fleck’s offenses traditionally are known for running. They have finished Top-5 in the Big Ten in rushing average four times in his tenure and never lower than eighth. The Gophers currently rank 17th in the conference in rushing.
Their entire offensive approach has been flipped upside down because Brosmer has given the Gophers an accurate, savvy quarterback who is able to process what he sees on the field quickly.

Scoggins: Now that P.J. Fleck has a QB he can trust, it’s a whole new ballgame for Gophers
Few teams passed less than the Gophers over P.J. Fleck’s first seven seasons with the Gophers, but senior quarterback Max Brosmer has given them a new identity.
