Help for Leidner
Gophers offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover didn’t hesitate when asked if the coaches could take part of the blame for quarterback Mitch Leidner’s slow start this season.
“Oh absolutely, as I say all the time: It’s an 11-man deal as far as the players, everybody has to be working together and we have to be putting the guys in great positions to be successful,” Limegrover said. “We hadn’t always done that, and I feel like we did a better job of that Saturday [in a 27-24 victory over Ohio] and we need to continue to do that.”
Limegrover said that one of the big keys to the Leidner’s success against Ohio — a game in which the quarterback passed for 264 yards and completed 71.0 percent of his passes, both season highs — was a simplified offensive package in which the Gophers emphasized the team’s strengths against an opponent and Leidner’s strengths.
“Trying to take the best of both of those worlds and tighten it up,’’ Limegrover said. “… We may not have 15 throws that we want to throw, we may have five, but they’re very good against this team and they’re things he feels very comfortable throwing.”
