per Megan:

The Gophers will be without starting tight end Jake Paulson in Wednesday's Outback Bowl.

Coach P.J. Fleck said Saturday the sophomore had surgery last week but is "doing great." Paulson is on the bowl trip and came off the bus at the team hotel Thursday with his left arm in a cast.

Paulson appeared to injure his right ankle at Northwestern on Nov. 23 and did not play the next week against Wisconsin. He also missed the Rutgers and Maryland games in October after picking up an injury against Nebraska.

Fleck also said right tackle Daniel Faalele is a game-time decision to play against Auburn. The sophomore left the Wisconsin game early and later appeared on crutches with his left foot in a boot. He also missed the Nebraska game because of an injury.

The coach said Faalele is "making a lot of progress." Faalele was not participating in the walkthrough practice Friday.

I’d like to hear Fleck define what he means by game time decision someday.
