per Randy:
During the bye week, the Gophers spent their Tuesday practice stressing fundamentals, something offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca considered important.
“We believe the game is about details,’’ Ciarrocca said Wednesday. “We had one practice where that’s all we did; we went 17 periods of individual [drills]. Our group on offense, we need that kind of stuff. Our details have come a long, long way since last spring.’’
That has shown in the statistics. The Gophers rank second nationally in time of possession; their 36:44 average trails only Wisconsin’s 37:21 in FBS, and they have two offensive turnovers – one interception and one fumble – which is tied for sixth fewest in FBS. In addition, they’ve allowed only one sack, which is tied for third fewest nationally.
“The exciting thing is: We still have a long way to go,’’ Ciarrocca said.
