per Sid:

New Mexico State completed 29 of 40 passes for 253 yards in Saturday’s 44-21 loss to the Gophers. But after studying the film, coach Jerry Kill wasn’t concerned.

“They were just throwing quick bubble screens, 2- or 3-yard passes off the option,” Kill said. “They ran the read-option and when you close down the run they just threw little pop passes for 3 or 4 yards, and sometimes you can break a tackle and get more than 3 or 4 yards. But they were just little quick passes that were more like runs than throws.”

Go Gophers!!
 


I don't think that Coach Claeys has shown his complete playbook yet. I suspect, that the defense has been pretty basic so far, we should see more complexity against San Jose State.
