Morgan scouts
Morgan, who finished last season as the No. 4-ranked quarterback in the country in passer efficiency at 178.7 — trailing only Joe Burrow of LSU, Jalen Hurts of Oklahoma and Justin Fields of Ohio State — has never faced Michigan.
Michigan finished fifth in the Big Ten in points allowed at 20.7 per game. The Wolverines ranked 11th nationally in total defense, allowing 307.2 yards per game. The Gophers finished last season ranked 10th in total defense, allowing 306.6 yards per game.
Morgan said he knows the Gophers will face a stiff challenge in their first game.
“We know their defensive coordinator, Don Brown, is very, very intelligent, he has been a lot of places and been really successful. We’re just excited to game-plan them and see what they’re about, see the different things they can do, the looks, the players. We know they’re going to be a really good defensive football team,” the Gophers quarterback said. “We know they’re going to have a lot of guys that can make plays on the defensive side of the ball. It’s going to be an exciting opportunity to watch film on them. Haven’t really turned it on too much, yet. So excited for that opportunity when we get there.
“It’s going to be really exciting, we’re really looking forward to the opportunity, but we really have to focus on tomorrow and getting better at practice tomorrow. That’s where it stats for us before we get to October 24th.”

Gophers can change fortunes in back-to-back openers against Michigan and Ohio State
Gophers have a chance to defy fortunes against the Wolverines this year and the Buckeyes in 2021.
