per Megan:
Auburn safety Jeremiah Dinson watched some Gophers film when he was home for the holiday break, and two numbers popped out to him: 13 and six.
That’s Rashod Bateman and Tyler Johnson, the Gophers’ 1,000-yard receivers.
“The quarterback loves them,” Dinson said Friday after Auburn’s first practice in Tampa, Fla., ahead of Wednesday’s Outback Bowl. “They can run any route in the route tree. They can go and catch the long balls well. Lot of double moves. They’re an all-around group, to be honest with you.”
Dinson and his No. 12 Tigers head into the bowl game favored against the No. 18 Gophers, encountering the SEC powerhouse for the first time. Auburn’s defense will try to prevent Gophers quarterback Tanner Morgan from throwing deep or over the top, Dinson said. But he’s expecting to make some big plays of his own for his final collegiate game.
“Hopefully — well, it’s not even hopefully — I feel like I could get a chance to catch a pick or two when we play those guys,” he said. “It’s fun going out with a team like this. They’re kind of a 7-on-7 style, that type of team. You know they’re going to put the ball in the air. As a DB, that’s fun, knowing that going into the game.”
