The Gophers produced 17 points and 341 net yards in their opening game loss to No. 2 ranked TCU last week. Since then head coach Jerry Kill has told the offense he needs over 400 yards and 31 points a game.

That assignment starts today in Fort Collins against Colorado State in another nonconference game. The 1-0 Rams don’t have the quality defense of TCU and this could be a confidence building game for Minnesota’s offense.

Gophers quarterback Mitch Leidner and the offense were inconsistent against the Horned Frogs. Kill said Leidner missed on a couple of “critical” throws a week ago Thursday night. Offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover said Leidner and the offense had “ups and downs” but he liked the maturity his quarterback showed in postgame self-evaluation.

“I think the important thing was that more than any other time he was proactive in being self-critical,” Limegrover said. “Before we ever got together, he had already watched the film on his own and came in prepared.”
