per Sid:
Through four games, Mitch Leidner is playing the best football of his career after going through left foot surgery in the offseason. But the Gophers quarterback was not pleased with his overall play through three games, despite going 3-0, and he was extremely disappointed after the team lost its Big Ten opener, falling 29-26 in overtime at Penn State on Saturday.
Leidner has a 62.9 completion percentage and 134.5 passer rating through four games. Both would be career highs if he maintained those numbers the rest of the season.
But at Penn State, he had his worst game of the season, going 24-for-40 for 241 yards with one touchdown and one interception. That interception especially hurt, coming late in the second half in the end zone as the team was driving to take the lead in a tie game.
"It hurts when you have high expectations like we did," Leidner said. "But at the same time, Sunday morning we wake up, the sun comes up, and we have to prepare for Iowa and get ready to go this week."
