per Megan:

When Mohamed Ibrahim runs for 224 yards and four touchdowns, the Gophers offensive line is happy.

Because Ibrahim’s performance helped the team beat Illinois 41-14, yes, and because the unit contributed key blocks to send him on his way down the field. But also because that merits a sweet reward from the running backs.

“They brought in doughnuts the other day, and Mo delivered,” O-line coach Brian Callahan said. “… He’s probably the most popular guy on the team, in terms of being a teammate. So we love him. We’re very proud of what he’s done. And we know we have a small piece to play in it.”

For a group that doesn’t accrue stats — beyond doughnuts earned — Ibrahim’s ascension to leading rusher in the Big Ten is tangible evidence of the O-line’s effort this season. And the group managed it even without two starters.


Go Gophers!!
