per Sid:
The Gophers have finished their first two weeks of spring football practice. The team will take a week off for spring break before resuming. Tracy Claeys, who is entering his sixth season with the Gophers and his first full season as head coach, was asked if things have been different this spring.
“Not really, I’m not really worried about whose team it is, as far as that goes,” Claeys said. “I’ve had a lot of input into doing the practice schedules and things like that [before]. I realize now that the buck stops with me on decisions.
“When we talk about moving people around and all that type of stuff, before I could always make suggestions, and now it has to be the final decision when you do things like that. But for the most part, the change in offense is the biggest difference. I’m excited to see how that goes and the improvements that we make there.”
Claeys said new offensive coordinator Jay Johnson will try to install the basics of his system.
“When [we] get to the end of spring ball … we’d like to know how the offensive line is going to line up and play, how we’re going to do that depth chartwise,” Claeys said. “Then we want to make sure that everybody is comfortable with the different communications and the calls offensively. If we get those two things — along with determining how the [backup] quarterback situation is going to play out with Mitch [Leidner] not there [to start spring practice] — we’ll have a good spring.”
