"Gophers football news
Quentin Gardener, the Texas wide receiver who signed with the Gophers and didn't qualify academically, is going to attend Blinn College in Brenham, Texas, become eligible and then enroll at Minnesota.
Two in-state quarterbacks who have committed to the Gophers -- Phil Nelson of Mankato West and Mitch Leidner of Lakeville South -- will enroll at Minnesota in January in time to take part in spring practice."
"One reason outstanding Osseo tight end Will Johnson might wind up at Mississippi is that he knows former Hamline defensive tackle Mike Markuson, who is a Rebels assistant coach."
"Miami (Ohio), the Gophers’ football opponent on Sept. 17 after they open the season at Southern California and then play New Mexico State at home, is heavily favored to win the MAC title."
"Gophers picked last
Sports Illustrated is out with their college football preview issue and in the Big Ten, they predict the Gophers will go 0-8 and 3-9 overall.
And then in a segment titled Players to Watch, the only Gopher they mention is Troy Stoudermire, who needs 190 yards to break the NCAA career kick return yardage record. He will be a starting cornerback after six starts last year.
Well, the Gophers read these predictions and what it does is make them even more determined to do better.
Right now this team's strengths are the offensive line, where they have some depth, and at running back, where a freshman named David Cobb from Killeen, Texas, and more than one first-year offensive lineman have indicated they have good futures.
After all, they beat two good teams -- Illinois and Iowa -- at the end of last season, and a good number of those players are back.
If coaching can do it, this team could be a surprise.
Jerry Kill and his staff do as good a job as any coaching staff I have seen over the years at Minnesota.
One thing I know for sure: Give them time and they will win."
