per Souhan:
So it wasn’t all Leidner’s fault that the Gophers offense meandered, but the deflection and sharing of blame are not the same things as absolution.
He played an unproven defense in a big game at home and produced 17 points. That’s not all on him, but he’s the place every realistic conversation will start.
Last year, Leidner’s job was to get the ball to his best playmakers. This year, his job is to be one of the Gophers’ best playmakers. He wasn’t always up to the task on Thursday.
